Iran confirms limited damage to Fordow and Isfahan nuclear sites

TEHRAN — Iran's Atomic Energy Organization confirmed on Friday that limited damage had been inflicted on the Fordow nuclear site south of Tehran and another site in central Isfahan following Israeli airstrikes.
'The damage was limited to areas that did not cause any structural harm in the case of Fordow,' said Behrouz Kamalvandi, spokesperson for the organization.
He added that in Isfahan, multiple sites linked to warehouse facilities caught fire, but emphasized, 'The damage was not widespread and there is no cause for concern regarding nuclear contamination.'
The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, informed the UN Security Council on Friday that Iran had notified the agency of Israeli attacks targeting the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant and nuclear sites in Isfahan.
Grossi also confirmed that a key above-ground section of the Natanz uranium enrichment facility had been destroyed in the earlier strikes.
'At Natanz, the above-ground section of a pilot fuel enrichment facility where Iran had been producing uranium enriched up to 60 percent was destroyed,' Grossi said. 'Currently, Iranian authorities have informed us of attacks on two other facilities — the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant and Isfahan.'
'At this moment, we do not have sufficient information beyond indicating that military activity has occurred around these two facilities as well,' he added. — Agencies

Pakistan urges IAEA to take clear position on Israel's strikes on Iranian nuclear sites

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has called on the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to clearly state its legal position on last week's Israeli strikes targeting nuclear facilities in Iran while highlighting their grave implications for regional and international security. The call came during an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council on Friday, after Israel launched airstrikes about a week ago that killed several senior Iranian military commanders and nuclear scientists, triggering a direct military confrontation between the two countries. Israel's attacks came as Tehran was engaged in negotiations with the United States to reach a nuclear agreement. Iran has repeatedly stated it has no intention of building nuclear weapons but will not surrender its right to a peaceful nuclear program or halt uranium enrichment activities. Israel, however, contends that Iran is close to developing a bomb. The United States has backed Israel in the conflict and called for Iran's 'complete surrender,' insisting Tehran must not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. Pakistan, in its remarks to the Council, reiterated its condemnation of Israel's 'unjustified and illegitimate aggression,' describing the attacks on nuclear facilities as 'deeply troubling.' 'It is the responsibility of the IAEA to clearly pronounce its legal position with regard to such attacks as well as to report to its Board of Governors and to the Security Council about the legal, safeguards, safety and security implications of such attacks,' Pakistan's Ambassador to the UN, Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, told the Council. 'The Agency should fulfil that responsibility,' he added. The Pakistani envoy also denounced Israel's widening war in the Middle East, including in Gaza, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen. He maintained that Tel Aviv's attack on Iran had further inflamed an already volatile regional situation. Ahmad also said the UN Security Council must act decisively to halt Israel's military actions and prevent the situation from spiraling further. He urged the Council to categorically reject Israel's actions, promote de-escalation and support a comprehensive ceasefire. The Pakistani envoy further called on the Council to denounce the targeting of nuclear facilities safeguarded by the IAEA, pointing out that diplomacy must remain central to resolving the Iran-Israel crisis. 'Dialogue and diplomacy in full adherence to the principles of international law and the UN Charter remain the only viable path to resolving the crisis,' he said. 'This Council must unite in support of the Secretary-General's call to end the fighting and return to dialogue and negotiations.' Ahmad also stressed that the IAEA must be allowed to continue its verification work 'unimpeded,' and should operate in an 'impartial and apolitical manner' to ensure credible and objective reporting on matters under its mandate.

Israel-Iran Conflict Could Cause ‘Harmful' Migration Impact on Europe: Erdogan

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned on Friday that the ongoing Israeli Iranian tensions could cause a surge in migration and have harmful impacts on Europe and the region, according to Al Arabiya. Harmful Impacts on Europe In a phone call with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Erdogan said that 'negotiations' was the solution to the nuclear disagreements with Iran. 'The spiral of violence triggered by Israel's attacks could harm the region and Europe in terms of migration and the possibility of nuclear leakage,' he said. He also noted that the ongoing conflict had 'raised the threat to regional security to the highest level,' expressing that Turkey is making efforts to put an end to the Israeli-Iranian strikes. Israel-Iran War On June 13, Israel launched a wave of airstrikes on Iran under the name of Operation Rising Lion. The military campaign targeted Iran's nuclear facilities and killed top military commanders and nuclear scientists. As a response, Iran launched a retaliatory wave of missiles against Israel and targeted Tel Aviv. Israel also killed three more Iranian nuclear scientists, bringing the total number of scientists slain to nine, Gulf News reported. Currently, both countries are trading missiles and attacks amid intensifying efforts to halt the conflict. Joint Talks Foreign Ministers from Britain, France and Germany along with the EU's top diplomat are set to hold nuclear talks on Friday with their Iranian Foreign Ministry in Geneva, according to Reuters. In coordination with the US, Friday's talks seek basically to persuade Iran to introduce strong guarantees that its nuclear program will be used only for civilian purposes. As the war enters the second week, Israel has claimed that its strikes aim mainly to eliminate Tehran's ability to develop a nuclear weapon. Meanwhile, Iran denies that its nuclear program is for military purposes.

Fresh missile barrage hits Israeli port city as high-level talks begin in Geneva

HAIFA — Nearly two dozen people were wounded in parts of Israel on Friday after Iran unleashed a fresh barrage of missiles as international efforts intensify to ease the conflict with Israel over Tehran's nuclear program. Foreign ministers from the UK, France, and Germany have met their Iranian counterpart in Geneva on Friday The talks come as US President Donald Trump says he will decide within two weeks whether to join Israel's ongoing military campaign against Iran, amid reports that Washington is actively considering intervention. At least 23 people were injured, Israel's Magen David Adom (MDA) said. A 16-year-old boy, and two men aged 54 and 40, were among those seriously injured with shrapnel. In the northern city of Karmiel, a woman died after she suffered a heart attack inside a shelter, the MDA added. Paramedics and eyewitnesses described scenes of people bleeding in the streets, after they were dispatched to several neighborhoods in northern Israel. 'We heard a very loud noise and felt a blast wave. When I exited the shelter, I saw that the windows in my house were shattered, and there was a lot of broken glass,' Ahmed Zidan said in an MDA press release. 'I saw heavy smoke and massive destruction in the building near the parking area that was hit by the rocket,' Zidan added. Iran said the latest attack targeted 'military objectives, defense industries, and command centers' in Israel, a spokesperson for the country's Revolutionary Guard said, according to state media. Haifa's mayor stressed need for peace after the Iranian missile barrage on Friday. The 'name of the game is peace,' Yona Yahav, mayor of the northern Israeli city, told CNN. He said the two-week deadline set by President Donald Trump to decide on whether the US will join Israel's military action on Iran is too long. Speaking to CNN's Nic Robertson from the city in the aftermath of a fresh Iranian missile barrage, Mayor Yona Yahav confirmed that no one had been killed in the attack. According to Israeli emergency services, a total of 21 people were injured in Haifa during the attacks, including three with severe injuries. Yahav also said 'I don't like wars,' after having personally experienced 10 of them, adding that the 'name of the game is peace.' He said his culturally mixed city has been a mostly peaceful home to both Jews and Arabs for over 100 years. When asked about the talks that are being held in Geneva between Iran and European countries, Yahav said he hoped that a peace treaty would be the ultimate end result. The mayor said that the two-week deadline President Trump had given to decide US actions on Iran was 'too much,' as he said it is difficult for residents to live while wrapped up in war. 'A fixed answer I can't get from Trump, and this bothers me,' he said. 'Because I like stability, and I think that he has to give me this stability.' — CNN
