Iran detains 22 people suspected of links to Israeli intelligence
TehrancTypeface:> Iran has detained 22 people on suspicion of links to Israeli intelligence services. The suspects were held in the province of Qom, the pro-government ISNA news agency reported, citing local intelligence police. The detainees are suspected of having been in contact with the espionage services of the 'Zionist regime,' according to the news agency. They are also accused of 'unsettling public opinion' and 'supporting the criminal regime' of Israel. Details of the specific charges or the identities of those arrested have not been released. Iranian authorities have initiated a wave of arrests in the midst of the war with Israel, with media reporting dozens of people having been taken into custody across the country in recent days. Strikes between Israel and Iran are continuing for a second week, with a round of diplomatic talks between European foreign ministers and their Iranian counterpart on Friday having failed to produce results towards an end to the attacks. Israel says it launched its attack on June 13 because Iran was on the cusp of producing a nuclear weapon - something Tehran has consistently denied, saying its nuclear programme is for civilian use only.

Iran's Isfahan nuclear site under attack; buildings on fire in Tel Aviv
Agencies Tehran/Tel Aviv A key nuclear site in Iran's Isfahan province has come under Israeli attack, with local officials saying there were no radiation leaks. Early on Saturday, smoke could be seen rising from an area near a mountain in the city of Isfahan after Israeli air strikes hit the nuclear site overnight, triggering the air defence system. It was the second attack on Isfahan as the conflict between the Middle Eastern nations entered a second week, killing at least 430 people and wounding nearly 3,500 others in Iran, according to Iran's health ministry. No casualties were reported in the Isfahan attack, authorities said. Israel's army released video and photos, which it says show an attack on the Isfahan nuclear facility. Iran's Deputy Health Minister Ali Jafarian said the department is preparing to treat any victims suffering from the effects of Israel's continuing attacks on nuclear facilities. 'We have not yet received reports of Israel using unconventional weapons. We are prepared to deal with any nuclear leak in the event that nuclear reactors are targeted, and we hope we do not reach that stage,' said Jafarian. The UN nuclear agency confirmed that a centrifuge manufacturing workshop at Iran's Isfahan nuclear site was hit. 'A centrifuge manufacturing workshop has been hit in Esfahan, the third such facility that has been targeted in Israel's attacks on Iran's nuclear-related sites over the past week,' the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in a statement quoting its chief Rafael Grossi. 'We know this facility well. There was no nuclear material at this site and therefore the attack on it will have no radiological consequences.' Israeli forces also hit a military installation in the southern Iranian city of Shiraz in Fars province, according to Iranian media. On the Israeli side, explosions were heard above Tel Aviv, where buildings were seen on fire. In central Israel, the emergency services released images showing fire on the roof of a multi-storeyed residential building. Local media reports said the blaze was caused by falling debris from an Iranian missile that was intercepted. Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said that Israel has killed Saeed Izadi, who led the Palestine Corps of the Quds Force, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps' (IRGC) overseas arm, in a strike in the Iranian city of Qom.
