Iran is defiant after Trump calls US attacks 'success'

Israeli military officials say Iran has fired multiple missiles toward their country. This is believed to be Tehran's first military response since the United States struck three Iranian nuclear sites early Sunday local time. Iran's Tasnim News Agency linked to the country's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps reports Iran has launched 40 missiles toward Israel. The agency says targets included an airport near Tel Aviv. Israel's local media say at least 86 people have been injured. CNN says the strikes damaged a building in Tel Aviv. Earlier, US President Donald Trump announced the strikes on nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan, and called them successful. The attacks were the first ever carried out by the United States on Iranian soil. Trump said "Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks would be far greater." Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has justified the US attacks on Iranian nuclear sites, which he said were carried out in full coordination between the US and Israel. In a video message to the Israeli people, Netanyahu said Iran's nuclear program "threatened our very existence and also endangered the peace of the entire world." The prime minister thanked US President Donald Trump and praised him. Netanyahu said: "President Trump is leading the free world with strength. He is a great friend of Israel." On the strikes targeting Iranian sites, he said that "from the beginning of the operation, I promised you that Iran's nuclear facilities would be destroyed, one way or another." He added, "That promise was kept."

Belarus releases 14 people from detention, including two Japanese nationals

Belarus has released 14 people from detention, including two Japanese nationals, as US special envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg visited the country. The Japanese embassy in Belarus said the two were freed on Saturday. It added they are now in neighboring Lithuania and have no health issues. The embassy said the two Japanese nationals were detained in August 2020 and December 2024, respectively. It said any further personal information will not be revealed. One of the two is believed to be a man who was sentenced to a 16-year prison term for his involvement in protests over the 2020 Belarusian presidential election. The other is believed to be a man who was reportedly detained last December on suspicion of spying. He was purportedly filming a bridge over railway tracks in the southeastern Belarusian region of Gomel. The Japanese embassy has expressed profound gratitude to the US government. It plans to strongly urge Belarus to release as early as possible one more Japanese citizen who is still being detained.
