Fresh air raid sirens in Israel after missile from Yemen: Report

The Times of Israel is reporting fresh sirens in the city of Tel Aviv following the launch of a new missile, this time from Yemen.

The newspaper cited the Israeli military.

Death toll in Israel rises to 5: Report

The Times of Israel is reporting that the death toll from an Iranian missile attack on northern Israel has risen to five. The attack hit the city of Tamra, near Haifa, and all the deaths were of members of the Khatib family, it added.

Tamra is a predominantly Palestinian city.

As Israel and Iran trade blows, Palestinian citizens of Israel have limited access to bomb shelters

As Iranian missiles strike cities and communities across Israel, Palestinian citizens live with less access to protective structures than their Jewish counterparts.

A 2024 report by the Israel Democracy Institute (IDI) stated that Arab communities in Israel were less likely to have access to shelters, with communities near Israel’s borders and separation walls, among those most exposed to possible attacks, even less so.

“Among the Jewish population, close to 100 percent of residents in localities within 9km [about 6 miles] of the border have protective structures, while more than 50 percent of Arab residents within the same distance of the border do not have protective structures,” the report said, citing a 2018 report by the State Comptroller.

The report also cited polling figures that nearly 60 percent of Palestinian citizens of Israel say the Israeli state does not provide them with the same level of protective structures as Jewish communities.

One killed, dozens wounded in Iran’s latest attacks on Israel

Israel’s emergency medical service, Magen David Adom, has released details of casualties in some of the latest missile strikes. In the Tel Aviv area, a 60-year-old woman was killed while 20 others suffered moderate and minor injuries.

In the Shfela region near Jerusalem, 24 people were wounded near a building, including two who suffered serious injuries. Magen David Adom added that rescue operations were continuing.

Death toll in central Israel rises to 3: Reports

Israeli news outlet Haaretz, citing emergency services, says three people have now been confirmed killed after an Iranian missile hit a building in the central Israel town of Bat Yam. Israel’s Ynet also reported on the increased death toll.

Dozens of people have also been injured in the latest round of Iranian missile strikes.

Drones target Iraqi base hosting US troops: Report

The Associated Press news agency is reporting that three drones launched towards the Ain al-Asad air base in western Iraq, which houses US troops, have been shot down.

The agency, which cited two anonymous US officials, said that no group has claimed responsibility for the launches.

The reported assault comes amid fears in the US that Iran-backed groups could attack American forces across the Middle East as the Israel-Iran conflict escalates.

Israel-Iran conflict could spread to Middle Eastern countries hosting foreign military bases

Iran has threatened to attack western bases [in the Middle East] if those countries provide further support Israel. If that happens, then western military assets, the US in particular, but also that of the UK, it really could expand what is such a serious situation to other countries.

Just to give you a list of where the UK have forces based: in Iraq and in Syria, where they were fighting ISIL, they still have forces there.

In the Gulf and the UAE and Qatar, in Bahrain and in Oman, and the big UK sovereign base in Cyprus.

So it shows the spread of the UK, a similar spread of the US, and I think that’s the big worry of further escalation. A big worry politically in terms of militarily what could happen, and real concern about what that could mean for the global economy, given this is the centre of oil and gas in the world.

What’s the impact if Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz?

Ed Hirs, an energy expert and professor at the University of Houston in the US, says the potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz would have a significant effect on global oil prices.

As we’ve been reporting, Iran’s IRINN news agency reported that Esmail Kosari, a member of the Iranian parliament’s security commission, said the country was seriously reviewing the possible closure of the strait in response to Israel’s attacks.

“The strait carries between 18 and 20 million barrels per day, so almost 20 percent of the global oil market passes through the Strait of Hormuz,” Hirs told Al Jazeera. “There is no real easy alternative route out of that area for Saudi Arabia, for Kuwait.”

Cutting that traffic by half, Hirs explained, “would lead to a global oil price spike [of] probably over $120/barrel – that impact would hit everyone across the world very quickly.”

Closing the strait could give Trump – who has kept up tough rhetoric against Tehran but said he wants the conflict with Israel to end – “an excuse to attack Iran”, Hirs added.

“Attacking the global economy, attacking the US economy directly by cutting off the flow of oil to the global market, [that] would probably be the catalyst necessary to engage the US directly against Iran.”

Trump changes tune as Iran pounds Haifa oil facility; Netanyahu’s groveling video

Iran on Saturday fired dozens of more ballistic missiles and drones targeting Israeli economic interests after Tehran had faced attacks on its oil and gas field. Videos of Haifa oil refinery being hit by Iranian missiles have gone viral. Rifat Jawaid explains how Iran took a leaf out of the American and Israeli book to outsmart Benjamin Netanyahu to change the direction of missiles to Haifa while Israel asked its citizens to take shelter in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

Iran Leaves Israel Burning With Fresh Strike? Haifa Oil Refinery ‘Bombed’ As Many Dead In Direct Hit

A major escalation unfolded as Iran reportedly launched a fresh barrage of ballistic missiles at Israel for the second consecutive night, with Iranian state media claiming a direct hit on the Haifa oil refinery, sparking a large fire near the northern port city. Official Israeli confirmation of a refinery strike remains pending. The missile assault reportedly struck a residential building in Tamra near Haifa, killing three and injuring at least 14 others.

Probably more clickbait than reality, but that's YouTube titles.

Iranian Missiles OBLITERATE Israeli Nuclear Facility — Massive Explosions Rock Tel Aviv!

In a jaw-dropping turn of events, Iran has launched a devastating missile barrage allegedly targeting Israel's highly sensitive Dimona nuclear facility! This is still UNCONFIRMED. Massive explosions lit up the skies as war sirens wailed across southern Israel, sending shockwaves through the Zionist regime. This unprecedented attack marks a terrifying escalation in the Middle East conflict, raising fears of a regional catastrophe.

Strikes on Iran ease pressure on Israel to end starvation in Gaza

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/14/israel-attack-on-iran-slows-diplomatic-momentum-to-halt-gaza-war

In the hours after Israel attacked Iran, food shipments and distribution in Gaza stopped and a French-Saudi summit meant to pave the way for wider recognition of a Palestinian state was postponed indefinitely.

International pressure over starvation and civilian killings in Gaza had apparently dissipated in little more than the time it took for the smoke of the first missile strikes to clear over Tehran.

Israel’s military moved fast to declare Iran its top priority, with the battle for Gaza relegated to second place. That shift was echoed in foreign ministries and newsrooms around the world.

“The fact that Israel attacked Iran doesn’t mean [the war in] Gaza ended. Today we had dozens of people killed, the only difference is this will have far less attention than yesterday,” said Xavier Abu Eid, a political scientist and former adviser to the Palestine Liberation Organisation.

“Israel’s message [with these attacks] is that there is no political solution for anything in the region. By striking Iran they want to sabotage the US-Iran negotiations as well as the international wave of support for concrete measures on Palestine.”

The decision by Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to take out the security threat posed by Iran’s nuclear programme had also defanged a significant diplomatic and economic threat to his government.

Some of Israel’s closest allies in Europe had become increasingly outspoken about both the impact of the war in Gaza on civilians, and escalating violence by Jewish settlers against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

Thousands of protesters took to the streets of downtown Montreal in a pro-Palestinian rally on Saturday afternoon, with some 50 civil society groups and humanitarian organizations calling for a shift in Canada’s approach to the conflict in Gaza.

The demonstration, titled A Red Line for Gaza, began at 1:30 p.m. at Place Norman-Bethune near the Guy–Concordia métro and was to conclude at Place des Montréalaises. Organizers invited participants to wear red to represent what they describe as “red lines” crossed during the ongoing conflict.

"The Livestream Genocide in Gaza Confronts Us All" says human rights activist Maya Yavin

At the 2025 UN civil society consultations on Palestinian rights, Maya Yavin, director of Zochrot NGO, delivered a powerful and deeply personal statement confronting Israel’s ongoing actions in Gaza and the West Bank. Speaking “as someone who is part of the society committing these crimes,” she called out systemic violence and displacement as part of a continuous process that began with the 1948 Nakba. “This is not a rupture from the past. It is its continuation,” she said, linking current events in Gaza to a legacy of forced expulsion, massacres, and erasure. Maya challenged dominant narratives and called silence “not an option,” emphasizing the moral imperative to “confront the ongoing institutionalized violence against the Palestinian people.”

Maya urged the UN to take bold action: to hold Israel accountable for apartheid and genocide, revoke the Jewish National Fund’s charitable status, and suspend Israel’s participation in the UN for violating its membership conditions. “Decolonization is the only framework that addresses the root cause of injustice,” she declared, rejecting Zionist supremacy and advocating for the Palestinian right of return as “a promise of shared life, justice, and collective liberation.” Her speech called for global solidarity and truth-telling as radical acts, warning that without justice for refugees and an end to apartheid, sustainable peace is impossible.

Death toll in central Israel rises to 4: Reports

Israel’s Ynet News outlet is reporting that a nine-year-old girl has been confirmed killed in the missile attack in Bat Yam, taking the overall toll from that assault to four. Israeli Army Radio also reported the death, but said the girl was eight years old.

Earlier, Israeli media reported that 35 people were missing at the site of the hit on the city, located just south of Tel Aviv. Some 100 people were wounded.

_{Damaged buildings are seen following a strike by an Iranian missile in Bat Yam, Israel, on Sunday}

Houthis claim missile attack on central Israel

Earlier, the Israeli military reported that some of the missiles that targeted the country’s central areas were fired from Yemen. The Houthi rebels in Yemen have just confirmed that.

In a statement carried by Al Masirah TV, the Houthis said the strikes were carried out in coordination with the Iranian military and involved a number of “Palestine 2 hypersonic ballistic missiles”. It said the targets were “sensitive” sites of the “Israeli enemy in the occupied Jaffa area”.

As we’ve been reporting, at least four people were killed in the attacks on central Israel and dozens more wounded. At least four others were also killed in a previous round of attacks on northern Israel.

Israel claims more attacks in western Iran

The Israeli military says its forces have “completed another wave of attacks in western Iran”, targeting missile storage and launching infrastructure in the past hour. There was no immediate comment from Iran.

Herzog says Israel grieving ‘terrible loss’

Israeli President Isaac Herzog says the country has experienced a “very sad and difficult morning” after the Iranian missile strikes killed at least eight people and injured dozens more. Denouncing what he described as “criminal Iranian attacks”, Herzog said in a post on X that he would pray for the wounded to recover and for the Israelis who are still missing to be found.

As we reported earlier, Israeli media outlets said dozens of people were reported missing after a strike in Bat Yam, south of Tel Aviv.

_{A missile hit an eight-story building in Bat Yam and while many people have been rescued there are fatalities}

Israeli military censors reporting on hits at four sites

The damage is quite extensive, and it’s in Haifa, it’s in Bat Yam. There are sightings of drones as well in the north near Beisan, and there are at least four sites where the military sensor has not allowed the media to disclose information about direct impact incidents.

But what we do know is that dozens of buildings have been damaged in Bat Yam. The mayor is talking about people still stuck under the rubble.

This is by far more violent than the first night of confrontation, and the first retaliatory attack by Iran on Israel. The attacks on Haifa in particular, where the refineries are, indicates that Iran is making good on its promise to reciprocate if Israel hits civilian infrastructure, sites related to energy, then Iran would try to do the same.

Israel facing ‘no effective pressure’ to stand down

Former US nuclear negotiator Alan Eyre says Israel and Iran are “stuck in a dangerous, escalatory spiral of hostilities”.

“All in all, it seems that Israel had a plan, it’s following the plan, there’s really not effective international pressure on Israel to stop, and so it seems – at least for the time being – that Israel will continue to go after targets it deems it needs to take care of inside Iran,” Eyre told Al Jazeera.

While Trump has said he thinks Israel’s attacks on Iran will encourage Iranian negotiators to agree to a nuclear deal, Eye explained that “anyone with even a cursory knowledge of contemporary Iran realises that that’s very unlikely”.

“If the US thinking is that allowing Israel to go forward with these attacks will put more pressure on Iran and get a better deal for the United States, I think that’s quite unlikely.”

With Israel facing no “effective pressure” both domestically and internationally to halt its attacks, Eyre added that the key question will be what the Israeli government’s goals are.

“Is Israel just seeking to incapacitate Iran’s nuclear programme, or is it in fact hoping to push Iran towards some type of regime change by increasing the pressure on the Iranian population?”


It seems Netanyahu is just trying to start a bigger war to stay in power and to distract from the genocide in Gaza and the ethnic cleansing in and annexation of the Westbank. 


Iran is talked up as the existential threat to Israel, always has been. A moderate Iran is indeed an existential threat as the Islam 'scare' is the reason used to keep US troops in the ME and support for Israel.

The new Iranian PM, Masoud Pezeshkian elected in 2024, was more interested in talks rather than war as evidenced by Iran not retaliating to prior pot shots and assassinations by Israel since he took office. So Netanyahu felt he had to make sure Iran got back on track to being perceived as the actual threat to Israel and made sure Iran could not ignore their attacks any longer by starting a mass scale bombing campaign.

And of course "WMD in Iraq", now (imminent) Nuclear weapons in Iran is an easy sell to the American public. Trump's 90 day negotiations were just a setup for Israel to start bombing, which Netanyahu had already planned for April. 

There was no reason to abandon negotiations which were planned to continue today. Obviously now Iran can't go back to the negotiating table while under fire from Israel and the US. Even though the US isn't actively participating in the bombing, Israel is using US made weapons while hiding behind US' defences including the recently installed THAAD system in Israel and American assets actively helping shooting retaliatory missiles down.

It's very similar to how Settlers behave when they attack. Attack and quickly hide behind the IDF while blaming Palestinians for trying to defend themselves.

How long will the world still continue to buy this bullshit, driven by the mainstream media's one sided reporting. 

US Muslim groups call on Trump to reject Israel’s ‘unprovoked war on Iran’

The US Council of Muslim Organizations, the largest coalition of Muslim groups in the country, has warned that Israel’s “illegal, unnecessary and unprovoked war on Iran … threatens to entangle the United States in more death and destruction”.

In a statement, the group called on Trump to reject Israel’s push for the US to get more involved in the conflict, and to demand that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu immediately halt his country’s attacks.

“Let’s be clear. What we are seeing today echoes the lies that led to the Iraq war,” the organisations said, referring to the false claim in the lead-up to the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 that the country had “weapons of mass destruction”, or WMDs.

“Just as Iraq did not have WMDs, Iran does not have nuclear weapons, was not making nuclear weapons, and was at the negotiating table ready to commit to limiting its uranium enrichment to the amount that can only be used for civilian purposes,” the statement reads.

The groups also tied the Israel-Iran escalation to the “US’s blind support” for Israel’s abuses against Palestinians. “The Israeli government is committed to self-destructive madness – and the American government must stop blindly following this foreign nation into the abyss,” they said.

New statement released by the US Council of Muslim Organizations, the largest coalition of American Muslim groups, on Israel's U.S.-backed war on Iran:

"The Israeli government's Illegal, unnecessary and unprovoked war on Iran is just the latest example of its relentless violence…

China’s Wang Yi slams Israel’s ‘brutal attacks’ on Iran

The Chinese foreign minister has held phone calls with his counterparts in Iran and Israel.

In his call with Gideon Saar, the Israeli foreign minister, Wang said China “clearly opposes Israel’s violation of international law by attacking Iran with force, especially when the international community is still seeking a political solution to the Iranian nuclear issue”.

He called for a return to diplomacy, saying that diplomatic avenues for resolving the Iranian nuclear issue have not yet been exhausted and adding that “force cannot bring lasting peace”.

In his call with Abbas Araghchi, the Iranian foreign minister, Wang said that China condemns “Israel’s violation of Iran’s sovereignty, security and territorial integrity” and opposes the “brutal attacks” targeting Iranian officials.

He also said that China supports Iran in safeguarding its sovereignty and denounced Israel’s attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities, saying that they “set a dangerous precedent that could have disastrous consequences”.

G7 leaders gather in Canada in shadow of Israel-Iran conflict

The first of the G7 leaders to arrive in Canada is the UK prime minister, Keir Starmer. He’s announced that he’s going to bolster his country’s military resources in the Middle East.

That’s, I think, to protect the UK’s presence in the region. It’s not a very big presence, but they do have bases in quite a number of countries across the region.

That, I think, shows you the big worry among the G7 countries is that this could spread, that there could be further escalation. That’s a worry about the military and political situation, but also – given that this is a place where the oil and gas reserves of the world are based – a worry about the effects on the global economy.

It’s not just the leaders of the G7 who will be here in the Canadian Rockies in the coming days, but also their invited guests. So there are eight other countries coming. Some of them, unlike the European nations and the US, have strongly condemned Israel’s actions – for example, Brazil and South Africa. So there’ll be a range of voices around the table.

I think the one person everyone will be trying to influence is President Donald Trump, because he’s the only player here at the meeting that could really change things on the ground, because Israel and Iran, of course, are both not here.

But Trump, if he wants, could exercise influence on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He could even either privately or publicly order him to stop the bombardment of Iran. Of course, the big question is, would the Israeli prime minister even listen to the US president?

Germany, France, UK offer to negotiate on Iran’s nuclear programme

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, currently visiting the Middle East, says he’s working to help reduce tensions in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran.

“I hope that’s still possible,” Wadephul told German public broadcaster ARD. “Germany together with France and Britain are ready. We’re offering Iran immediate negotiations about the nuclear programme, I hope [the offer] is accepted.”

“This is also a key prerequisite for reaching a pacification of this conflict, that Iran presents no danger to the region, for the state of Israel or to Europe.”

Continuing the lie. China should do the negotiations as the only sort of neutral power in this. Putin wants to but he's aligned with Iran while Europe is just doing US' bidding.

US ‘pressure strategy’ on Iran proves to be a failure: President

Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian have spoken over the phone. Sheikh Tamim strongly condemned the Israeli attack on Iran, calling it “a flagrant violation of Iran’s sovereignty and security, and a clear breach of the rules of international law”.

According to Iran’s official IRNA news agency, Pezeshkian said the US’s strategy of imposing demands on Iran through “pressure and aggression” has proven to be a failure, condemning Washington’s backing for Israeli strikes against his country.

“Today they support Israel’s attacks on Iran and think they can impose their demands on us through pressure,” said Pezeshkian. He thanked Sheikh Tamim for his expression of sympathy and solidarity with the Iranian people after Israel’s attacks.

It's all going according to Netanyahu's plan. Once he can push Iran to closing the straight of Hormuz the US will pretty much have to get involved. For now he's hoping Iran or other groups will target US' bases around the ME to get direct US involvement on the offensive side as well.

If Israeli attacks stop, ‘our responses will also stop’: Iran

Speaking at a news conference in Tehran, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says if Israeli attacks on his country stop, “our responses will also stop”.

Araghchi’s comment came before diplomats in Tehran, his first public appearance since the Israeli strikes began on Friday. “If the aggression stops, our responses will also stop,” Araghchi said.

There was no immediate reaction from Israel, which continued with strikes on Sunday across Iran.

Araghchi also said the US needs to condemn the Israeli attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Iran does not believe the US claim of not being involved in Israel’s attack on its Natanz nuclear facility, he added. He said Israel “crossed a new red line” by targeting Iran’s nuclear sites in strikes that began on Friday.

“The Zionist regime crossed a new red line in international law, and it was attacking nuclear facilities.”

Yeah that will never happen...

Iran’s attacks on Israel based on ‘self defence’

Iran does not want its conflict with Israel to expand to neighbouring countries unless the situation is forced, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says. Iran’s military response against Israel has been based on self-defence, he added.

Israel unleashed air raids across Iran for a third day on Sunday and threatened even greater force as some Iranian missiles evaded Israeli air defences to destroy buildings in the heart of the country.

Israel not willing to see US reach nuclear deal with Iran: Araghchi

Araghchi has reaffirmed the country’s stance on nuclear weapons, saying it is “our firm conviction not to possess a nuclear weapon”. “Yet those who are willing to deprive Iran of our right to possess the nuclear programme for peaceful purposes, they have no right to do so,” he added.

Araghchi said in the now-cancelled sixth round of negotiations with the US that was scheduled for today, Iran was “prepared to provide the necessary assurances to the Americans”.

“[In] the previous round of talks, the Americans presented a number of proposals, which were not totally acceptable to us. We presented our response and our viewpoints, and we were supposed to present a counterproposal. Our proposal could have opened doors for an all-out agreement with the Americans,” he said.

According to Araghchi, Israel opposes diplomatic progress between Iran and the US.

“This is a crystal-clear matter. The Zionist entity is not willing to see us reaching an agreement or a diplomatic solution with the United States,” he added.

Right about the last part, the whole enriching Uranium up to 60% is rather overkill for just peaceful purposes.

Again China would be a good negotiating party, Iran could certainly use Thorium Salt reactor technology the Chinese are developing. Safer and no need for water cooling. As well as no nuclear bomb potential. 

Yet with Israel staying a huge threat to Iran with US backing, the country is only driven more towards nuclear proliferation. It's the only thing that gives the West pause even though no country would ever commit suicide by nuke.

Operations at Tehran oil refinery continues without disruption: Report

Iran’s Student News Network has dismissed reports of an attack on the oil refinery at Shahr Rey in southern Tehran, saying operations there continue without interruption. The network, however, said that a fire had broken out at a fuel tank outside the refinery and had no connection to it.

Iran’s oil ministry earlier said that an Israeli attack targeted the Shahran oil depot, which is also located in Tehran, igniting a fire there. The ministry said the situation there was under control.

Video shows towering column of smoke in Iran’s Shiraz

The footage, verified by Al Jazeera’s Sanad fact-checking agency, shows a huge column of black smoke rising in the sky following an attack on the city in south-central Iran.

Israeli university damaged in Iranian attacks: Report

The Weizmann Institute of Science, a research university in Rehovot in central Israel, says a number of its facilities have been damaged in Iranian strikes. No casualties were sustained, according to the Ynet News outlet. “There were a number of hits to buildings on the campus,” the institute said.

Israel says rescue efforts in Bat Yam could take at least a day

The army’s Home Front Command estimates it will take at least 24 hours to finish scouring the scene of the Iranian ballistic missile attack on Bat Yam for any survivors, according to Israeli media.

At least six people have been killed, nearly 200 wounded, and seven are missing after the attack that hit a residential building overnight in the city south of Tel Aviv.

That's with all the equipment and rescue services at full capacity. In Gaza people have to remove the rubble by hand and carry casualties to the few remaining hospitals that don't have anything left to treat them.

Iran fired 80 missiles at north and central Israel overnight: Reports

The official Israeli Army Radio and The Times of Israel are reporting that Iranian forces launched about 80 missiles in two volleys at north and central Israel overnight. The outlets cited estimates by the Israeli military.

The Times of Israel said that of the 40 missiles in the first volley, one struck a home in the predominantly Palestinian town of Tamra in northern Israel, killing four civilians.

The second barrage, launched at central Israel, consisted of 35 missiles, and one of those struck Bat Yam, killing at least six and wounding nearly 200, while one hit Rehovot, injuring 40 people.

The Israeli military also reported earlier in the morning that it had intercepted seven drones launched towards its territory.

There was no immediate comment from Iran.

As we reported earlier, Yemen’s Houthi rebels also said they fired several missiles at central Israel in coordination with the Iranian military.

Iranian attack causes damage at Haifa oil refinery

The Israeli firm, Bazan, which operates an oil refinery in the northern city of Haifa, says there has been “localised” damage to pipelines and transmission lines in the complex during Iran’s overnight attack, according to Israeli media.

The company said its refineries continue to operate, though some other facilities have been shut down. It said it is still assessing the implications of the damage.

The report comes as Israeli media said Iranian forces had fired some 80 missiles at Israel overnight, including 40 at northern parts of the country, where Haifa is located.
