Over 200 sites in Tehran hit by Israeli strikes, more than 120 homes destroyed: Provincial governor
More than 200 locations across Iran's capital Tehran have been hit by Israeli airstrikes since the conflict began ten days ago, the city's provincial governor said on Sunday.
"More than 200 locations have been attacked by the usurping Zionist regime," Governor Mohammad Sadegh Motamedian told state television, accusing Israel of widespread targeting of civilian areas.
According to Motamedian, over 120 residential housing units have been 'fully destroyed,' while nearly 500 others have suffered varying levels of damage. He did not specify whether the strikes targeted any military or strategic sites.
The claim comes as Iran and Israel continue to exchange missile and drone attacks following the US-backed Israeli strikes on Iran's nuclear sites earlier this week. While Israeli officials have focused on targeting Iran's military infrastructure, Tehran accuses Israel of attacking civilian areas and worsening the humanitarian toll.
The Iranian government has yet to release an official casualty figure for the capital, but humanitarian agencies have warned of mounting displacement and loss of life as the conflict expands into urban centers.

Donald Trump to attend NATO summit on Tuesday, will urge members to boost defense spending
The NATO alliance has crafted a summit in The Hague this week to shore itself up by satisfying US President Donald Trump with a big new defence spending goal – but it now risks being dominated by the repercussions of his military strikes on Iran. The two-day gathering is also intended to signal to Russian President Vladimir Putin that NATO is united, despite Trump's previous criticism of the alliance, and determined to expand and upgrade its defences to deter any attack from Moscow. The summit and its final statement are meant to be short and focused on heeding Trump's call to spend 5% of GDP on defence – a big jump from the current 2% goal. It is to be achieved by investing more in both militaries and other security-related spending. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, however, upset NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte's preparations on Sunday as he declared Madrid did not need to meet the new spending target even as Spain approved the summit statement. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has had to settle for a seat at the pre-summit dinner on Tuesday evening – rather than a formal session with the leaders when they meet on Wednesday – due to his volatile relationship with Trump. The US bombing of Iranian nuclear sites at the weekend makes the summit much less predictable than Rutte – a former prime minister of the Netherlands hosting the gathering in his home city – and other NATO member countries would like. Much will depend on the precise situation in the Middle East when the summit takes place – such as whether Iran has retaliated against the US – and whether other NATO leaders address the strikes with Trump or in comments to reporters. If the meeting does not go to plan, NATO risks appearing weak and divided, just as European members confront what they see as their biggest threat since the end of the Cold War – Russia – while bracing for possible U.S. troop cuts on the continent. Under the new defence spending plan, countries would spend 3.5% of GDP on 'core defence' – essentially, weapons and troops – and a further 1.5% on security-related investments such as adapting roads, ports and bridges for use by military vehicles, protecting pipelines and deterring cyber-attacks. Such an increase – to be phased in over 10 years – would mean hundreds of billions of dollars more spending on defence. Last year, alliance members collectively spent about 2.6% of NATO GDP on core defence, amounting to about $1.3 trillion, according to NATO estimates. The lion's share came from the United States, which spent almost $818 billion. Washington has insisted it is time for Europeans to take on more of the financial and military burden of defending their continent. European leaders say they have got that message but want an orderly and gradual transition, fearful that any gaps in their defences could be exploited by Putin. They are particularly keen to stress their spending commitment as Trump has previously threatened not to protect allies that do not spend enough on defence. A prepared text summit statement agreed by NATO governments and seen by Reuters says: 'We reaffirm our ironclad commitment to collective defence as enshrined in Article 5 of the Washington Treaty – that an attack on one is an attack on all.' As part of their efforts to keep Trump onside, NATO officials have shunted difficult topics to the sidelines of the summit or kept them off the agenda altogether. While many European nations see Russia as an ever-growing threat, Trump has expressed a desire for better economic relations with Moscow – a prospect that Europeans think would help Russia to strengthen its military and threaten them more. Similarly, many Europeans are deeply wary of Trump's moves to lessen Russia's diplomatic isolation as part of his efforts to secure a deal to end the war in Ukraine. The brief summit statement will include just one reference to Russia as a threat to Euro-Atlantic security and another to allies' commitment to supporting Ukraine, diplomats say.

What are sleeper cells and why is the US on high alert after Iran nuclear sites bombing?
The United States is on high alert after Iran threatened to activate sleeper cells inside the country in response to President Donald Trump's strikes on three major Iranian nuclear sites, which drew the US directly into Israel's war with Iran. The airstrikes, carried out on Saturday night, hit key facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan sites central to Iran's uranium enrichment operations. The strikes came as part of a joint effort with Israel, whose offensive against Iran began earlier this month. Iran had earlier warned that if attacked, it could activate sleeper cells inside the US. The warning was reportedly delivered to Trump through an intermediary at the G7 summit in Canada last week, according to The Telegraph. Now, security agencies including the FBI and Department of Homeland Security have increased surveillance to counter potential threats linked to Iran or its allies, including Hezbollah. Sleeper cells are operatives who live quietly in a country, blending into society until they are told to act. These individuals may work normal jobs and avoid drawing attention. When activated, they could carry out attacks, sabotage or espionage. Former Homeland Security adviser Michael Balboni told Fox News, 'The Iranians have shown a good capability in terms of their intelligence apparatus and operatives being able to work clandestinely. They are determined. The question is how many are in the country and the answer is we don't know.' According to Fox News, White House border czar Tom Homan revealed that over 1,200 Iranian nationals reportedly entered the US during former President Joe Biden's time in office, sparking concerns about potential domestic sleeper cells driven by foreign terrorist organisations. Homan shared this information on 'Sunday Morning Futures' with Maria Bartiromo, highlighting the risks associated with foreign nationals flowing into the country. National security experts are worried that these individuals could pose a threat to US security, especially in light of recent tensions with Iran . However, US officials are especially concerned about cells linked to Hezbollah, a group supported by Iran. The FBI began stepping up monitoring of suspected Hezbollah-linked agents well before the latest strikes. The National Terrorism Advisory System issued a bulletin warning of a 'heightened threat environment' after the strikes on Iran's nuclear sites. While no specific plot has been identified, the advisory said the risk of violence could rise if Iran calls for retaliation inside the US. Former FBI assistant director Chris Swecker told Fox News that the situation is made more difficult because of gaps in border controls in recent years. 'We don't know where those thousand Iranians are and who knows how many others got across the border,' he said. He believes that authorities missed an opportunity to gather intelligence by not thoroughly vetting these individuals, saying 'we missed the opportunity to gather intel by interviewing them and thoroughly vetting them. We just simply let them go.' Swecker attributes this to 'gross negligence on the part of the Biden administration.' According to CBS News, potential targets of Iranian-backed plots include high-profile critics of the Iranian government, such as John Bolton, former national security adviser, and Masih Alinejad, an Iranian American journalist. Both individuals have been subject to alleged plots to be harmed, with prosecutors charging people with plotting to kill them in recent years. The increased surveillance started earlier this month, after Israel's Operation Rising Lion offensive began, according to the report. This heightened vigilance stems from longstanding concerns about Iranian operatives, particularly after the 2020 assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, which prompted the FBI and Department of Homeland Security to bolster counter-threat resources. Since then, several US-based individuals have been charged with plotting to kill Trump and his former national security adviser John Bolton. The airstrikes ordered by Trump targeted the Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites, which are central to Iran's ability to produce enriched uranium. Israel's campaign against Iran's military and nuclear infrastructure began on 13 June. Trump's decision to join the offensive marks a major escalation in US involvement. Iran has described the US strikes as 'unforgivable' and vowed to respond. Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Iran that any attack on the US would be 'the worst mistake they've ever made,' speaking on Fox Business. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that Israel was 'close' to destroying Iran's nuclear and missile capabilities. Sleeper cells have long been a concern for US security services. After the 9/11 attacks, agencies increased efforts to detect covert groups that could plan violence while appearing to live normal lives. While the 9/11 hijackers were not sleeper agents living in the US long-term, the attack highlighted the dangers of operatives planning in secret. Iran has previously been linked to attempts to use such cells for attacks or assassinations abroad. Balboni told Fox News that sleeper cells could target individuals or infrastructure and are difficult to track because they 'look just like everyone else.'

Telangana Left parties condemn US attacks on Iran, call for statewide protests on June 24
Hyderabad, June 23 (UNI) The Left parties in Telangana have strongly condemned the recent attacks by the United States on Iran, calling them a blatant violation of international laws and an attempt to undermine Iranian sovereignty. In a meeting held here on Monday, the Telangana state Left parties announced their decision to hold protest programs in all district centres across the state on June 24. The protest call is part of a nationwide agitation initiated by the All India Left Parties, who have denounced what they describe as 'imperialist aggression' by the US. Appealing to the public, democrats, and peace-loving citizens, the Telangana Left parties urged widespread participation to make the protest programs a success and send a clear message in support of global peace. The parties stated that despite confirmations from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and even US intelligence that there is no evidence of Iran developing nuclear weapons, the United States is continuing its attacks under a false pretext. They alleged that these actions are designed to provoke conflict and destabilise West Asia, with the ultimate aim of asserting imperialist dominance in the region. Further, they warned that the escalation in tensions is endangering world peace and severely affecting nations like India, which are economically and socially linked to West Asia. Indian workers in the region and the livelihoods of common people are particularly vulnerable, they noted. The Left parties also demanded that the Indian government take a clear stand by condemning the US aggression, move away from a pro-Israel foreign policy approach, and actively work to de-escalate the conflict. They called on all those who support peace and oppose imperialism to join the movement and resist the ongoing violence in the region, a statement said. UNI VV BM
