Launched on June 18, Operation Sindhu has evacuated over 4,400 Indians from Iran and Israel via 19 flights. India expressed gratitude to Iran, Egypt, Jordan, Armenia, and Turkmenistan for their support.

India successfully evacuates over 4,400 citizens amid Iran-Israel conflict

Launched on June 18, Operation Sindhu has evacuated over 4,400 Indians from Iran and Israel via 19 flights. India expressed gratitude to Iran, Egypt, Jordan, Armenia, and Turkmenistan for their support.

India has evacuated more than 4,400 Indian nationals from Iran and Israel so far in 19 special flights under Operation Sindhu launched on June 18 to bring home its citizens amid the ongoing conflict between the two countries, according to the Ministry of External Affairs.
A fresh batch of 173 Indians evacuated from Iran reached Delhi late Thursday night in a flight from Armenian capital Yerevan, the MEA said in a post on X.
At his weekly media briefing a day before, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal, in response to queries on Operation Sindhu, said New Delhi was assessing the situation on the ground and a decision on the future course of action would be taken based on it.
Over 3,400 Indian nationals have been evacuated so far in 14 flights from Iran since the start of Operation Sindhu, according to data shared by him during the briefing. Jaiswal later shared updated evacuee figures in the post on X after the arrival of the flight from Yeravan.
"A special evacuation flight from Yerevan, Armenia landed in New Delhi at 22:30 hrs on 26th June, bringing home 173 Indian nationals from Iran," he wrote.
"As part of #OperationSindhu, a total of 4415 Indian nationals (3597 from Iran and 818 from Israel) have been evacuated so far using 19 special evacuation flights including 3 IAF aircraft. 14 OCI card-holders, 9 Nepali nationals, 4 Sri Lankan nationals and 1 Iranian spouse of an Indian national were also evacuated from Iran," he added.
On June 24, India said while it remained "deeply concerned about the prospects for overall and sustained regional security and stability", it welcomed reports of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. Hours after US President Donald Trump's claims of an Iran-Israel ceasefire, the MEA in a statement had said "India stands ready to play its part" to resolve the situation and insisted on "dialogue and diplomacy" as the way forward.
Jaiswal on Thursday was asked if India would continue Operation Sindhu after the Iran-Israel ceasefire, and about the total number of India nationals evacuated from the two countries so far.
"We launched Operation Sindhu on June 18. We have around 10,000 people. Indian community members in Iran. And, around 40,000 people in Israel who are Indian nationals," he had said.
One Iranian woman, who is the wife of an Indian national has also been evacuated, he added.
The MEA spokesperson had said, "In all, we mounted, 14 flights to bring back Indian nationals from Iran. These flights flew from Mashhad, as also from Yeravan in Armenia, and Ashgabat in Turkmenistan. I understand that one more flight is on its way from Armenia, and it will land later this evening. With that we would have completed.. all those people who wish to be evacuated from Iran." A special flight carrying 272 Indian and three Nepalese nationals from Iran arrived in Delhi a little past midnight (June 26) from the Iranian city of Mashhad, Jaiswal had posted on X earlier.
India on Wednesday evacuated 296 Indian citizens and four Nepalese nationals from Iran.
"As far as Israel is concerned, we have so far evacuated 818 Indian nationals in four flights. As you are aware the airspace in Israel was closed, so we had to take our people to bordering countries, i.e., Jordan and Egypt, and from both these countries they were put on special flights, and they came back home," he told reporters.
The MEA spokesperson said, "We are thankful to the government of Egypt and Jordan for their support." Indian embassies in Israel, Jordan and Egypt "collaborated very closely" with the MEA headquarters in Delhi, in mounting the evacuation operation.
"But, we would also like to thank government of Iran, as you would know that we made our requests, they opened their airspace for us to evacuate, our nationals. We are grateful to the government of Iran for this special gesture. We are also thankful to the governments of Turkmenistan and Armenia for helping us evacuate our people," he said.
India on Tuesday evacuated more than 1,100 citizens from Iran and Israel.
It brought back 594 Indians from Israel, using C-17 heavy-lift aircraft of the Indian Air Force to fly out more than 400 people after they were moved out of Israel to Jordan and Egypt by land transit points.
Also, 161 Indians were brought back in a chartered flight from Amman after they had moved to the Jordanian capital from Israel by road.
A total of 573 Indians, three Sri Lankan and two Nepalese nationals were evacuated from Iran in two chartered flights on Tuesday, according to details shared by the MEA.
Several other flights have brought Indian nationals back home after being evacuated from Iran in the past several days.
Israel and Iran fired hundreds of missiles and drones at each other's cities and military and strategic facilities since the hostilities began more than a week ago.
The tensions escalated significantly following the US bombing of three major Iranian nuclear sites on the morning of June 22.
India has evacuated its nationals on chartered flights operated from the Iranian city of Mashhad, the Armenian capital of Yerevan and the Turkmenistan capital of Ashgabat since June 18.
Iran lifted airspace restrictions on June 20 to facilitate three chartered flights from Mashhad.
The first flight landed in New Delhi late on June 20 with 290 Indians, and the second one landed in the national capital on June 21 afternoon with 310 Indians.
Another flight arrived from the Armenian capital city of Yerevan on June 19 and special evacuation flight from Ashgabat landed in New Delhi early on June 21.
India on June 23 had evacuated 290 Indian nationals and a Sri Lankan citizen from Iran following the US bombing of three Iranian nuclear sites.&nbsp;

Iran declares its military will dictate the response to recent US strikes on its nuclear facilities, seen as damaging to diplomatic relations.

Iran says its military will decide timing, nature and scale of its response to US attacks

Iran asserts its military will lead response to US actions on nuclear sites, calling US moves a diplomatic breach. Tensions rise at the UN.

Iran says its military will decide 'timing, nature and scale' of its response to US attacks

Iran will decide its response to US military actions on its nuclear sites, amid accusations that diplomacy has been disregarded.

Iran has said that the US "decided to destroy diplomacy" with its strikes on the country's nuclear programme and that the Iranian military will decide the "timing, nature and scale of Iran's proportionate response".
 Iran's UN Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani on Sunday told an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council that it called after US strikes on three of its nuclear facilities that "Iran had repeatedly warned the warmongering US regime to refrain from stumbling into this quagmire".
The US "decided to destroy diplomacy" with its strikes on Iran's nuclear sites and the Iranian military will decide the "timing, nature and scale of Iran's proportionate response", he said.
"We will take all measures necessary," the envoy told the meeting.
Iravani accused Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of succeeding in getting US President Donald Trump to do the West's "dirty work" and hijack US foreign policy, "dragging the United States into yet another costly and baseless war."
He called US and Israeli aggression against Iran "a clear and flagrant breach of international law".
Iravani said that as Iran's foreign minister held talks this week with several European counterparts, "the United States decided to destroy that diplomacy."
"What conclusion can be drawn from this situation?," he asked. "From the perspective of Western countries, Iran must 'return to the negotiating table'. But, as Iran's foreign minister mentioned, 'how can Iran return to something it never left -- let alone'."

Countries urgently evacuate citizens from Israel and Iran amidst escalating conflict, facing disrupted airspace and resorting to land routes for safety.

Foreigners evacuated by air, land and sea as Israel-Iran conflict worsens

Global efforts to evacuate citizens from Israel and Iran highlight escalating tensions, with disrupted airspace complicating travel and prompting land routes.

Evacuations in Israel-Iran Crisis

Intense Israel-Iran conflict prompts global evacuations through ground routes amid sky restrictions.

Countries are evacuating their nationals from Israel and Iran by air, land and sea as conflict rages between the bitter rivals.
Days of attacks and reprisals by the two enemies have shuttered airspace across the Middle East, severely disrupting commercial flights and leaving people unable to get in or out of the region easily.
Some governments are using land borders to get their citizens out by road to countries where airports remain open. &nbsp; Thousands of foreigners have already left since the conflict started last week when Israel launched surprise missile strikes on Iran.
 Bulgaria &nbsp; Bulgaria has moved all its diplomats from Tehran to the capital of Azerbaijan, Baku, the Balkan country's prime minister said Thursday.&nbsp; We are not closing the embassy, ??but moving it to Baku until the danger passes, said Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov.
A group of 89 Bulgarians was evacuated from Israel by plane to Sofia, along with 59 nationals from Slovenia, the US, Belgium, Albania, Kosovo and Romania.
They left from the Egyptian city of Sharm el-Sheikh, where they had been transferred by bus across the border from Israel.
He said the government had urged all Bulgarians willing to join the convoy to do so. They set off in 11 vehicles on Wednesday morning.
There were alternatives. They could travel via Turkey, but eventually we decided that they should go via Azerbaijan, Zhelyazkov added.
 China &nbsp; China said it has evacuated more than 1,600 nationals from Iran and several hundred others from Israel.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said Beijing would continue to do its utmost to assist in the safe transfer and evacuation of Chinese citizens.
Aell Huang, who was in the Iranian city of Isfahan, said he didn't feel safe during the conflict. I heard explosions from time to time. Civilians got hurt too. I got more prepared mentally once I saw the embassy's warning.
He and some friends hired a car and headed to Azerbaijan, waiting at border control for almost 12 hours, where he saw as many as 60 other Chinese nationals.&nbsp;
The Chinese Embassy said it would organise group evacuations by bus from Israel starting Friday.
A notice posted on the embassy's WeChat social media account said citizens would be taken out through the Taba border crossing to Egypt. It asked them to register online and said they would be notified of the evacuation time.
People carrying Chinese, Hong Kong, and Macao passports were eligible, the notice said.
 European Union &nbsp; The European Union has helped evacuate some 400 people from Israel via Jordan and Egypt as part of its efforts to coordinate an emergency response within the 27-nation bloc.&nbsp; Member states coordinate the list and we co-finance these flights up to 75 per cent of the transport costs, European Commission spokesperson Eva Hrncirova told a regular press conference in Brussels on Wednesday.
Hrncirova said the E.U. was fielding requests by Slovakia, Lithuania, Greece, and Poland for assistance with Middle East evacuations.
 France &nbsp; French Foreign Minister Jean-Nol Barrot said Thursday it was helping nationals who want to leave Iran and Israel to do so through neighboring countries where commercial flights were still available.
Barrot said people in Iran could travel to Armenia and Turkey without a visa. Those unable to reach the border on their own would be transported by convoy by the end of the week so they could take commercial flights to France.
French nationals wanting to leave Israel can go via Jordan and Egypt. From Friday morning, some buses will carry passengers from the Israeli border to Amman and Sharm el-Sheikh airports.
Germany &nbsp; Germany flew 171 people out of Amman on a special flight on Wednesday. A further 174 people returned on Thursday and another flight is planned this weekend.
Passenger Daniel Halav, who was stuck in Tel Aviv, said he had never been so glad to be home after landing in Frankfurt, the German news agency dpa reported.
But, he said, we had to take care of ourselves of how we got to Amman. From my point of view, we were left a bit alone there.
 The German Foreign Ministry said officials had decided against organizing convoys to get people to Amman, arguing this move could have created a security risk and that those wishing to leave were scattered across Israel.

Commercial satellite images reveal significant damages to Iranian military and nuclear sites amid rising tensions.

Satellite Reveals Damage to Iranian Sites

Evident destruction in key Iranian facilities revealed through satellite imagery amid escalating regional tensions.

Satellite images reveal damage to Iran's military and nuclear facilities amid escalating regional tensions.

Satellite imagery shows the huge damage which has been inflicted by Israel on military and nuclear facilities in Iran.
The images from commercial satellite company Maxar help paint a clearer picture of what has happened on the ground&mdash;amid restrictions on free press, and reports of limited internet access.
The imagery shows in detail the damage to one of Iran's key uranium enrichment facilities near Natanz, a city south of Tehran.
Analysis shows several buildings have been hit in the north-west sector of the facility.
There are also new vehicle tracks and dirt piles, on the surface in the middle of the facility
2003 imagery of the same location shows large structures in the same place &mdash; suggesting they may have been buried.
An Israeli military official told Reuters on Saturday that the Natanz site was significantly damaged. They added the Isfahan nuclear site had also been damaged.
The UN's nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, said on Saturday that radiation levels outside the Natanz facility remain unchanged.
Military buildings damaged The strikes haven't been limited to nuclear-related facilities.
In Iran's north, the imagery shows damage to parts of the Shahid Modarres Garrison rocket production facility near Bid Kaneh, south-west of Tehran.
The site is reportedly one of the country's key ballistic missile facilities, which has been expanding in recent years, according to an investigation by Reuters.
Several buildings show evidence they were directly hit with strikes. Some have large gaping holes in their roofs.
Reuters reported last year that an Iranian official said some of the buildings were also being used to manufacture drones, though it was unable to independently confirm the claim.
The situation on the ground in Iran is still unfolding.
This can be seen in imagery from the city of Shiraz, in south-central Iran.
The burning facility image is a Shiraz Electronic Industries production facility.
According to Iran Watch, a website which monitors the country's nuclear and missile programs, the company produces electronics for the Iranian military &mdash; including important radar systems.
The company is subject to sanctions by several western countries &mdash; including Australia.
Detailed imagery appears to confirm parts of a large suspected missile facility in Kermanshah, in Iran's west, have also been hit several times.
A 2021 report by the International Institute for Strategic Studies listed Kermanshah as the location of a number of suspected missile deployment sites, with evidence of some underground facilities.

Indian mountaineer Falguni Dey, trapped in conflict-ridden Tehran, struggles to return home as Iranian airspace is closed and funds deplete. Contemplating a perilous escape, he appeals to authorities for urgent intervention amid rising uncertainties.

Indian Mountaineer Trapped in Tehran Amid Conflict

Falguni Dey, a mountaineer from Kolkata, is stranded in Tehran due to escalating conflict and grounded flights. With dwindling resources and a lack of evacuation plans, he's considering an overland escape to return to India, despite the associated risks.

Kolkata mountaineer Falguni Dey is stranded in Tehran amidst conflict, with funds depleting and no flights available. With a lack of an evacuation plan from authorities, he's contemplating a risky overland escape to Turkey or Armenia.

Forty-year-old Falguni Dey has barely slept during the last six nights. Stuck inside a hotel room in central Tehran, the assistant professor at Women&rsquo;s Christian College in south Kolkata and a mountaineer by passion, Dey is currently at his wit&rsquo;s end in figuring out how to return home.
Relentless sounds of explosions from Israeli war machines especially at night and sights of thick black smoke billowing from targets that have been hit in Teheran visible from his hotel window during the day, have only added to Dey&rsquo;s anguish and anxiety.
With no respite currently in sight and money running out quickly, the now-desperate adventure sports enthusiast is mulling a dangerous bid to escape Iran via the land route and cross over to an adjacent country like Turkey, Armenia Azerbaijan, Afghanistan or even Pakistan.
&ldquo;I had no intention of staying in Teheran for so long and I barely have money left with me to sustain at this hotel where I am stuck. I can&rsquo;t fetch money from home since banks here are closed. I am the only Indian in my hotel and I have no evacuation promises from the Indian government so far.
&ldquo;So, I have no choice but to take this decision of moving out by road and crossing over to a neighbouring country from where I can catch a flight back home. My local travel agent here has assured me of help in this,&rdquo; an exasperated Dey told PTI from Tehran.
He had reached Tehran on June 5 with an aim to conquer Mount Damavand, Asia&rsquo;s highest volcanic peak standing at an elevation of 5,610 metres in the northeastern fringes of the Iranian capital. This was Dey&rsquo;s third attempt at a volcanic summit after having previously successfully scaled Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Elbrus, the two highest dormant volcanoes in the eastern hemisphere.
Dey&rsquo;s hopes in Iran, however, remained unfulfilled after a nasty blizzard forced him to abandon the climb barely 400 meters below the summit.
&ldquo;I returned to Tehran with a heavy heart. But the moment I set foot in the city, I realised something here was terribly wrong. The city was being bombed and I was caught in the middle of an all-out war. I was scheduled to take my return flight the next day, but then the Iranian airspace had been shut down and all flights in and out of Tehran were cancelled,&rdquo; Dey said.
Asked whether he managed to contact the Indian embassy in Iran to inform the officials about his plight, the adventure tourist said he was in constant touch with the embassy, which hasn&rsquo;t been able to provide evacuation hopes so far and have, instead, laid down a set of protocols to follow.
&ldquo;I hear that there are some 10,000 Indians stuck in Iran, including nearly 4,000 students from Kashmir. But, I do not know any of them. Here I am all by myself and the embassy has asked me not to venture out far from my hotel. People here are going about their daily lives despite the bombings,&rdquo; Dey said.
But, the anxiety of his relatives back home in Kolkata's Jadavpur where he lives seems to have pushed Dey to take a call to escape Iran by any means possible.
&ldquo;The nearest international border is about a thousand kilometers away, and I understand that a lot of protocol and paperwork would be involved in crossing the land border. But, I have to take that chance since I am running out of means to stay put here, given there is no help from any quarters. I do not know which country I will be crossing over to, because that will depend on India&rsquo;s diplomatic relations with these neighbouring nations,&rdquo; he stated.
Dey also said it appears unlikely that the conflict would be resolved anytime soon.
&ldquo;I can see from my hotel window the drones shooting, and hearing loud sounds of explosions from both far and near. We can&rsquo;t sleep at night fearing that the next missile could land on this hotel. Any intervention from neutral powers to end the conflict also looks to be a distant dream. Hence, I must choose a feasible alternative to leave this country,&rdquo; the professor insisted.
The uncertainty over reopening of the Iranian airspace anytime soon, which remains indefinitely closed, even for a temporary period by forcing a ceasefire, has left countries like India in a tight spot in evacuating stranded citizens, Dey said.
&ldquo;The Indian embassy is doing its bit. It is updating the database of citizens, calling them up, issuing advisories and setting protocols. But that&rsquo;s not enough. I appeal to our Union government and our EAM S Jaishankar to actively intervene to get us out. I also appeal to the West Bengal government to do the needful in rescuing us,&rdquo; Dey added.
&lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet"&gt;&lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;⚠️&lt;br&gt;All Indian Nationals who are in Tehran and not in touch with the Embassy are requested to contact the Embassy of India in Tehran immediately and provide their Location and Contact numbers.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Kindly contact: +989010144557; +989128109115; +989128109109&lt;a href="https://twitter.com/MEAIndia?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;@MEAIndia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&amp;mdash; India in Iran (@India_in_Iran) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/India_in_Iran/status/1934821396913258719?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;June 17, 2025&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
Meanwhile, all Indians in Tehran were on Tuesday advised to move out of the city to safe locations and be in touch with the embassy, as the conflict between Iran and Israel intensified.
"All Indian Nationals who are in Tehran and not in touch with the Embassy are requested to contact the Embassy of India in Tehran immediately and provide their Location and Contact numbers. Kindly contact: +989010144557; +989128109115; +989128109109," the Embassy of India in Tehran said in a post on X.

Rising hostilities between Israel and Iran have led to hundreds of deaths and injuries. Diplomatic efforts are halted as missile strikes devastate both countries, raising global concerns.

Israel-Iran Conflict Escalates: Missile Exchange

Hostilities between Israel and Iran escalate with deadly missile strikes and civilian casualties. Diplomatic talks are paused, raising concerns over the broader regional impact.

Israel-Iran Conflict: Intensified Missile Exchange

Intense missile exchanges between Israel and Iran result in over 224 Iranian and 14 Israeli deaths. Diplomatic talks suspended as conflict escalates with significant civilian casualties highlighted.

Israel and Iran traded more missile attacks on Sunday despite calls for a halt to the fighting, with neither country backing down as their conflict raged for a third day.
Iran said Israel struck its oil refineries, killed the intelligence chief of its paramilitary Revolutionary Guard and two other generals and hit population centres in intensive aerial attacks that raised the death toll in the country since Israel launched its major campaign on Friday to 224 people.
Health authorities also reported that 1,277 were wounded, without distinguishing between military officials and civilians.
Israel, which has aimed its missiles at Iran's rapidly-advancing nuclear programme and military leadership, said Iran has fired over 270 missiles since Friday, 22 of which slipped through the country's sophisticated multi-tiered air defences and caused havoc in residential suburbs, killing 14 people and wounding 390 others.
In an indication of how far Israel was seemingly prepared to go, a US official told The Associated Press that President Donald Trump nixed an Israeli plan to kill Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the final say on all major policies, serves as commander-in-chief of the armed forces and controls the powerful Revolutionary Guard.
Israel, the sole though undeclared nuclear-armed state in the Middle East, has said this attack -- its most powerful ever against Iran -- was to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
The latest round of talks between the US and Iran on the future of Tehran's nuclear programme had been scheduled on Sunday in Oman but were cancelled after Israel's attack.
Iran turns metro stations, mosques into bomb shelters claiming to operate almost freely in the skies over Iran, Israel said its attacks on Sunday hit Iran's Defence Ministry, missile-launch sites and factories producing air-defence components.
Iran also acknowledged Israel had killed more of its top generals, including the Revolutionary Guard intelligence chief, Gen. Mohammad Kazemi. But Israeli strikes have also extended beyond Iranian military installations to hit government buildings, including the Foreign Ministry and several energy facilities, Iranian authorities said, most recently sparking fires on Sunday at the Shahran oil depot north of Tehran and a fuel tank south of the city.
The strikes raised the prospect of a broader assault on Iran's heavily-sanctioned energy industry that is vital to the global economy and markets.
Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh and other Iranian diplomats shared photos of the Foreign Ministry's offices and library laid to waste by shrapnel.
Iran's state TV broadcast footage of men and women carrying dust-covered and bloodied children from the ruins of residential buildings hit by Israeli missiles in downtown Tehran.
The spokesperson for the Iranian Health Ministry, Hossein Kermanpour, said 90 per cent of the 224 people killed by Sunday were civilians.
The Washington-based group Human Rights Activists reported a far-higher death toll in Iran from Israeli strikes, saying the attacks have killed at least 406 people and wounded another 654. In recent crises, Iran routinely has undercounted casualties, including in the 2022 mass demonstrations over mandatory hijab laws after the death of Mahsa Amini.
State TV reported that metro stations and mosques would be made available as bomb shelters beginning Sunday night.
Tehran residents told of long lines at gas stations and cars backed up for hours as families fled the city. Traffic police closed a number of roads outside the city to control congestion. Energy officials on state TV sought to reassure the jittery public there was no gasoline shortage despite the long lines.
Iranian state-linked media acknowledged explosions and fires stemming from an attack on an Iranian refuelling aircraft in Mashhad, deep in the country's northeast.
Israel described the attack on Mashhad as the farthest strike it has carried out in Iranian territory. Video obtained and verified by the AP showed smoke rising from the city.
The death toll rises in Israel Air-raid sirens sounded across Jerusalem and major Israeli cities, sending Israelis scrambling to bomb shelters in the seaside metropolis of Tel Aviv and the northern port city of Haifa.
The Israeli military reported that almost two dozen Iranian missiles had slipped through the vaunted Iron Dome aerial-defence system and struck residential areas.
Early on Sunday, Israel's Magen David Adom emergency service reported that at least six people, including a 10-year-old boy and a nine-year-old girl, were killed when a missile smashed into a high-rise apartment in Bat Yam, a coastal city south of Tel Aviv.
Daniel Hadad, a local police commander, said 180 people were wounded and seven missing in Bat Yam. Residents appeared dazed, staggering through the rubble of their homes to retrieve personal belongings while rescuers sifted through twisted metal and shattered glass in their search for more bodies.
Another four people, including a 13-year-old, were killed and 24 wounded when a missile struck a building in the Arab town of Tamra in northern Israel, emergency authorities said, while a strike on the central city of Rehovot wounded 42.
The Weizmann Institute of Science, a centre for military and other research in Rehovot, reported "a number of hits to buildings on the campus" and said no one was harmed.
An oil refinery was damaged in the northern Israeli city of Haifa, the firm operating it said. Israel's main international airport and airspace was closed for a third day

Israel carried out preemptive strikes on Iran targeting nuclear and military sites, sparking fears of a wider conflict. Iran's air defences were activated as oil prices surged and Trump warned of a potential escalation.

Israel hits Iran nuclear sites, kills top brass in major strikes

Israel carried out preemptive strikes on Iran targeting nuclear and military sites, sparking fears of a wider conflict. Iran's air defences were activated as oil prices surged and Trump warned of a potential escalation.

Israel unleashed a wave of strikes on Iran Friday, hitting about 100 targets including nuclear facilities and military command centres, and killing senior figures, among them the armed forces chief and top nuclear scientists.
Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned Israel it faced a "bitter and painful" fate over the attacks, while the Iranian military said there were "no limits" to its response.
The Israeli military said later Iran launched around 100 drones in retaliation, with air defences intercepting them outside Israeli territory.
Neighbouring Jordan said it intercepted drones and missiles that violated its airspace, as air raid sirens sounded in Amman.
US President Donald Trump told Fox News he had prior knowledge of the Israeli strikes, which Israel said involved 200 fighter jets. Trump also stressed that Tehran "cannot have a nuclear bomb".
The United States underlined that it was not involved in the Israeli action and warned Iran not to attack its personnel or interests.
But Tehran said Washington would be "responsible for consequences" as Israel's operation "cannot have been carried out without the coordination and permission of the United States".
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel struck at the "heart of Iran's nuclear enrichment programme", taking aim at the atomic facility in Natanz and nuclear scientists.
The strikes would "continue as many days as it takes", the Israeli leader said, while the military said intelligence showed Iran was approaching the "point of no return" on its nuclear programme.
The strikes killed Iran's highest-ranking military officer, armed forces chief of staff Mohammad Bagheri, and the head of the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hossein Salami, Iranian media reported.
"The precise targeting of senior commanders of the Revolutionary Guards, the Iranian military, and nuclear scientists -&mdash; all of whom were involved in advancing the plan to destroy Israel -&mdash; sends a strong and clear message: those who work toward Israel's destruction will be eliminated," Israel's Defence Minister Israel Katz said.
AFP images showed a gaping hole in the side of a Tehran high-rise residential building that appeared to have sustained a targeted and localised strike.
State media said civilians, including women and children, were killed. Tasnim news agency said six nuclear scientists were killed.
 - Flights suspended -
Tehran's streets were deserted except for queues at petrol stations, a familiar sight in times of crisis.
Air traffic was halted at Tehran's main gateway, Imam Khomeini International Airport, while Iraq and Jordan also closed their airspace and suspended flights.
Gulf airlines cancelled flights to and from Iran, as well as Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.
Israel declared a state of emergency and closed its airspace, with Defence Minister Israel Katz saying Israel was braced for Iran's expected retaliation.
Hours later, the Jordanian military said its aircraft and air defence systems intercepted "a number of missiles and drones that entered Jordanian airspace".
There are "no limits in responding to this crime", Iran's armed forces said, accusing Israel of crossing "all red lines".
Oil prices surged while stocks sank on the Israeli strikes, which came after Trump's warning of a "massive conflict" in the region.
Trump had also said the United States was drawing down staff in the Middle East, after Iran had threatened to target US military bases in the region if conflict breaks out.
Prior to the strikes, Trump said he believed a deal on Iran's nuclear programme was "fairly close", cautioning however that an Israeli attack on its arch foe could wreck the chances of an agreement.
The US leader did not disclose the details of a conversation on Monday with Netanyahu, but said: "I don't want them going in, because I think it would blow it."
Trump quickly added: "Might help it actually, but it also could blow it."
 - 'Within reach' -
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Iran not to respond to Israeli strikes by hitting US bases, saying Washington was not involved.
Ahead of Friday's attack, Iran had threatened to hit US bases in the Middle East if conflict were to erupt.
With the violence raising questions on whether a sixth round of talks planned between the US and Iran will still take place on Sunday in Oman, Trump said Washington is still "hoping to get back to the negotiating table".
Confirming Natanz among targets, the UN's nuclear watchdog said it was "closely monitoring" the situation.
"The agency is in contact with Iranian authorities regarding radiation levels. We are also in contact with our inspectors in the country," said Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
 - 'Extremist' -
Israel, which counts on US military and diplomatic support, sees Iran as an existential threat.
Netanyahu has vowed less restraint since the unprecedented October 7, 2023 attack on Israel by Tehran-backed Hamas, which triggered the massive Israeli offensive in Gaza.
Since the Hamas attack, Iran and Israel have traded direct attacks for the first time.
Aside from Hamas, Israel is also battling Iranian proxies Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Huthis in Yemen.
The United States and other Western countries, along with Israel, have repeatedly accused Iran of seeking a nuclear weapon, which it has repeatedly denied.
Israel again called for global action after the IAEA accused Iran on Wednesday of non-compliance with its obligations.
Iran's nuclear chief, Mohammad Eslami, slammed the resolution as "extremist", while Tehran said it would launch a new enrichment centre in a secure location.
Iran currently enriches uranium to 60 percent, far above the 3.67-percent limit set in the 2015 deal and close, though still short, of the 90 percent needed for a nuclear warhead.

Iran signals readiness for nuclear compromises with the U.S., maintaining peaceful energy goals, yet uranium enrichment remains firm.

Iran Open to Nuclear Compromises with U.S.

Iran expresses potential concessions in nuclear talks with the U.S., emphasizing peaceful nuclear intentions, despite maintaining uranium enrichment rights.

In a significant development, Iran has expressed willingness to make concessions regarding its nuclear program in ongoing discussions with the United States. This comes after U.S. President Donald Trump characterized recent negotiations with Tehran as "very good."&nbsp;
Iran's Foreign Ministry has affirmed that while Tehran is prepared to guarantee the non-weaponization of its nuclear activities, the issue of uranium enrichment remains firmly off the negotiating table, as reported by CNN.
Esmail Baghaei, spokesperson for Tehran's Foreign Ministry, assured that ensuring Iran's nuclear program does not lead to weapons development is achievable. However, Baghaei emphasized Iran's insistence on maintaining its right to nuclear energy, stating, "If the intention is to make sure that Iran's nuclear program would not be weaponised, I think that's something that we could simply do."
While Baghaei avoided specifics on potential compromises, he noted "so many ways" to reach an agreement, underscoring the importance of protecting Iran's nuclear energy rights. "If the U.S.' intention is to deprive Iranians of their right to peaceful nuclear energy, that would be very problematic and could challenge the entire negotiation process," he cautioned.
Baghaei added, per Reuters, that constructive intentions from the American side could lead to optimism, warning that talks aimed at limiting Iran's rights would be fruitless.
In a related statement, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian asserted that Iran is prepared to withstand the fallout of unsuccessful negotiations. Speaking to state media, Pezeshkian stated, "It's not like we will die of hunger if they refuse to negotiate with us or impose sanctions. We will find a way to survive."
These discussions aim to address longstanding tensions over Iran's nuclear program, with President Trump threatening severe economic sanctions and potentially military action should Tehran fail to reach an agreement. The U.S. administration seeks to limit Iran&rsquo;s capacity to develop nuclear weapons, which could ignite a regional arms race and pose a threat to Israel.
Conversely, Iran maintains that its nuclear ambitions are solely for civilian purposes and is seeking relief from the economic burden of sanctions that have heavily impacted its oil-driven economy.

President Trump warns Iran of possible bombing and sanctions if the nuclear deal isn't accepted. Iran rejects direct talks but opens the door for indirect negotiations. Tensions rise as the US seeks to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions.

Trump-threatens-iran-with-bombing-tariffs-if-nuclear-deal-not-reached

US President Donald Trump on Sunday threatened Iran with "possible bombing" as well as the imposition of secondary tariffs on the Islamic Republic if they do not comply with the nuclear deal proposed by the US.

Trump's Bomb Warning to Iran Over Nuclear Deal

Trump warns of bombing if Iran rejects US nuclear deal within weeks. Iran open to indirect talks.

US President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Iran, threatening "possible bombing" and the imposition of secondary tariffs if the nation fails to agree to a nuclear deal proposed by the US. During an interview with NBC News, Trump indicated that Iran has a couple of weeks to comply, otherwise facing severe consequences. "If they don't make a deal, there will be bombing like they've never seen before," Trump asserted, emphasizing the potential for secondary tariffs if progress isn't made. Despite the tough rhetoric, Trump added a hopeful note, suggesting he prefers a peaceful resolution and envisages a "great, long, and successful life" for Iran, should they accept the agreement. "I would prefer a deal to the alternative, which everyone knows would not be pretty," he remarked. In contrast, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian announced that Iran has rejected the prospect of direct talks with the US, though leaving the door open for indirect negotiations, as reported by Politico. The tension between the two nations has escalated since Trump resumed office, largely due to his administration's stance against Iran obtaining nuclear weapons. Trump's prior term saw the US's withdrawal from a collective 2015 nuclear agreement, which also involved several major world powers, citing non-compliance by Tehran.

In Mashhad, Iran, a woman's courageous protest against harsh dress codes captured international attention, fueling debates on women's rights.

Mashhad Protest: Iranian Woman Defies Dress Code

Iranian woman's bold protest against dress code in Mashhad

Woman's bold protest against Iran's strict dress code in Mashhad makes international headlines, igniting discussions on women's rights.

In a bold protest that has gained widespread attention, a woman in Iran's second-largest city, Mashhad, was filmed stripping naked and climbing onto a police car, yelling at armed officers as she stood defiantly on the vehicle's hood.
The viral footage, shared extensively on social media, depicts her moving onto the windshield and making a brave gesture while officers tried unsuccessfully to remove her, with one officer reportedly reaching into the car for a weapon.
The incident was reported by Euronews, noting that a male officer, armed with an automatic weapon, appeared hesitant to detain her due to her state of undress.
Although the woman's exact motivation remains unclear, social media reports suggest she was protesting against Iran&rsquo;s increasingly harsh clothing laws for women. Her act has elicited diverse reactions, with some questioning her mental health and others viewing her as a powerful symbol of resistance.
This dramatic event is part of a broader movement across Iran, where women are challenging the stringent dress codes enforced by the morality police. Previously, a woman in Tehran University drew attention by stripping to her underwear, raising widespread discussion online.
In another related incident, at Mehrabad airport, a woman confronted a cleric, removing his turban and exclaiming, "So you have honour now?"&nbsp;
The protest has attracted international attention, galvanizing solidarity for Iranian women&rsquo;s rights. A post on &lsquo;X&rsquo; commended the women&rsquo;s bravery as a potent statement against tyranny, expressing hopes for freedom from oppression. Others praised their courage and resilience.
Iran's mandatory hijab law, requiring women to cover their hair and bodies, has long been contentious. Non-compliance can lead to fines and prison sentences. The incident has intensified discussions about the morality police and their enforcement of these laws, with criticism even from some conservative figures within Iran.
Last December, legislation introducing harsher penalties for those violating the dress code was passed but has since been halted following global protests from activist groups and organizations such as Amnesty International.

The Israeli military confirmed a successful operation in Syria, where over 100 commandos destroyed an Iranian-funded underground missile factory in Masyaf. 

Israeli military dismantles underground missile factory in Syria

Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes in Syria since civil war broke out in 2011, mainly on Iranian-linked targets.

The Israeli military confirmed on Thursday that dozens of its troops were flown into Syria in September to destroy an underground missile factory funded by Iran.
The military, which rarely comments on its activities inside Syria, said in a statement that the September 8 raid involved more than 100 Israeli commandos who dismantled the facility in the Masyaf area near the Mediterranean coast.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor reported at the time that 27 people were killed in the raid. The Israeli military did not disclose any casualty figures.
Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes in Syria since civil war broke out in 2011, mainly on Iranian-linked targets.
In a statement on Thursday, the military said the underground factory in Masyaf "included advanced assembly lines designed to manufacture precision-guided missiles and long-range rockets" for Lebanon's Hezbollah "and other Iranian terror proxies in the region".
Troops were flown in by helicopter, "with fire and intelligence-gathering support from aircraft, fighter jets and naval vessels", it said.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the raid underscored Israel's resolve to carry out operations anywhere to defend itself.
"This is one of the most important counteractions we have taken against the Iranian axis's attempts to arm itself in order to harm us, and it demonstrates our determination and audacity to act anywhere to protect ourselves," Netanyahu said in a statement.
Military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani said: "This precision-guided missile factory was dug in the side of a mountain underground in the area of Masyaf".
"Most components in fact were sourced from Iran for precision-guided missiles and surface-to-surface missiles."
The factory had the capacity to manufacture hundreds of missiles a year, Shoshani added.
The Observatory said the facility was created and supervised by Iran's Revolutionary Guards.
Tehran at the time condemned the raid as a "criminal attack".
&nbsp;
- Hundreds of air strikes -
Israeli military chief Herzi Halevi, who oversaw the operation, said it was part of "a series of courageous missions" across the Middle East "with the aim of destroying the Iranian axis's missile manufacturing capabilities".
Halevi pointed to other raids in the Gaza Strip, in Hezbollah's south Beirut stronghold and on Iranian territory "over the past few months".
"For years, Iran formed a ring of rocket and missile fire around Israel's borders, and we have struck both the ring and its head," he said.
Footage of the raid, released by the military on Thursday, showed soldiers boarding helicopters at a base and later landing at the target inside Syria.
The troops can be seen entering the compound as gunfire echoes in the background. Grainy images later depict soldiers returning to their base.
The military statement said critical machinery and documents found at the factory were brought to Israel for further investigation.
"The soldiers destroyed the compound and safely returned to Israeli territory," it said.
Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP after the raid that intense air strikes preceded it, destroying a separate "scientific research centre" in Masyaf used for weapons development.
Since Islamist-led rebels toppled Syria's longtime ruler Bashar al-Assad on December 8, Israel has carried out hundreds of air strikes on Syrian military assets in what it says is a bid to prevent them from falling into hostile hands.
In a move that drew widespread international condemnation, Israel also sent troops into a UN-patrolled buffer zone that separated Israeli and Syrian forces on the Golan Heights.
On Thursday, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar visited the buffer zone and met UN peacekeepers there, a statement from his office said.
"Israel is closely monitoring the situation in Syria, and will not jeopardise its own security. We will not allow another October 7 on any front," Saar added, referring to the Hamas attack on Israel in 2023 that triggered the Gaza war.

Iran has waived visas for more than 40 countries and more than half of the world's population can travel to Iran without needing any visa.

Our concern is stability, security of whole region: Iranian envoy Ilahi on Syria situation

Iran has waived visas for more than 40 countries and more than half of the world's population can travel to Iran without needing any visa.

Days, after rebel forces overthrew President Bashar Assad's authoritarian government in Syria, Iranian envoy Iraj Ilahi on Wednesday, said it is very soon to judge the current situation in the region even as he underlined that Tehran's concern is regarding the stability and security of the "whole region" and not just of Syria or Iran.
Interacting with PTI on the sidelines of an Iranian food festival here, the ambassador touched upon the civilisational ties between India and Iran, and asserted that "we are at the beginning of a new era of promotion of tourism between the two countries".
Ilahi's comments on the situation in Syria and its potential wider ramifications come days after the Syrian government collapsed on Sunday as the rebels seized control of the capital Damascus after capturing several other prominent cities and towns. Assad fled the country after the rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) took control of Damascus, marking the end of his family's 50-year rule.
Russian state media reported that Assad is in Moscow and will be given asylum. His nearly 14-year tenure was marked by civil war, bloodshed and a brutal crackdown on his political opponents.
"It is very soon to judge about the current situation in the region. Iran has concerns regarding the stability and security of the whole region," Ilahi said.
He alleged that Israel is following its "expansionism policy" and has "violated the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria". It has "struck different military bases" of that country, the envoy charged.
Multiple reports in international media claimed that Israeli forces have struck against many "strategic targets" in Syria since the ouster of the Assad regime.
"So, we have concerns regarding the security of the whole region, not just Syria or Iran. The uncertainty of the region is the main concern of Iran. We are not thinking about our security, but our concern is the security and stability of the whole region, which will affect the prosperity and living standard of whole nations who are in the region," Ilahi said.
Earlier on Monday, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said it is monitoring the unfolding developments in Syria and advocated a peaceful and inclusive Syrian-led political process going forward in that country.
On the bilateral ties with India, the Iranian ambassador said "People-to-people (ties) is one of the most... part of Iranian diplomacy".
This policy, regarding India, is "more important" for it, he added.
"We have too many common heritage, Iranian cuisine, Iranian chai and Iranian customs are famous in India and Indian cuisine and Indian heritage are famous in Iran. So, we have taken some measures to introduce Iranian heritage to India to attract the Indian tourists to Iran, and also we have taken some measures to facilitate the visit of Indians to Iran," the envoy said.
He also touched upon the aspect of Iran having waived visas for India among other countries.
Iran has waived visas for more than 40 countries and more than half of the world's population can travel to Iran without needing any visa.
"Besides, we are in close contact with different airways to open new flights between Iran and India... So, we are at the beginning of a new era of promotion of tourism between the two countries," he added.
The envoy said Iran is in "close contact" with India's tourism minister and Iranians are "keen to visit India". The natural and historical places of Iran are attractive for Iranians, he said.
"So, we hope that such measures like the food festival can bridge the two nations and can facilitate better knowledge of the countries, inshallah (God willing), we shortly, will witness more Iranian tourists in India and at the same time we will host more Indians in Iran," Ilahi said.
He also shared that recently he had a "constructive" and a "very good" meeting with a deputy minister of India and they discussed different issues, especially "bottleneck" in the promotion of trade between the two countries.
"We agreed to take common measures and steps to remove these bottlenecks and we inshallah will increase import of different commodities from India. As we are now importing rice, tea, banana, etc., still there are goods available in India, which we in Iran need and we are importing them from other countries," the envoy said.
"We are keen to import from India. And in this regard, we need some G2G (government-to-government) meetings, which we have planned to have shortly. And we also need B2B (business-to-business) meetings to get Iranian businessmen closer to the Indian businessmen," he added.

Iran’s Economic Crisis: Bread Prices Soar, Blackouts Worsen Amid Rising Tensions

For over a decade, a relentless wave of international sanctions has battered Iran&rsquo;s economy. The result? A GDP growth rate that hasn&rsquo;t come close to 2011 levels

Skyrocketing bread prices. Frequent power cuts. Shortage of essential medicines. Dramatic rent increases. Unstable currency. How did a country so rich in oil and gas end up struggling with all these challenges?Welcome to Iran &mdash; a place where Western sanctions, outdated infrastructure, and a spike in regional tensions are brewing the perfect economic storm. But just how deep do these problems go? Let&rsquo;s start with sanctions.For over a decade, a relentless wave of international sanctions has battered Iran&rsquo;s economy. The result? A GDP growth rate that hasn&rsquo;t come close to 2011 levels. In fact, the International Monetary Fund projects that Iran's economy won&rsquo;t hit that mark again until at least 2029. So, what does this long-standing economic strain mean for ordinary Iranians? Inflation is through the roof, sitting at 34%, and essential goods have become near-luxury items. Bread prices alone have jumped a shocking 200% in the past year. Water and housing costs are right behind, putting immense pressure on everyday life. And it doesn&rsquo;t stop there. Iran&rsquo;s inflationary squeeze has hit prices of other food items hard as well, especially for staples like chicken and eggs. Why? Rising costs of poultry feed and veterinary meds are driving up prices for these essentials. Experts say this trend is likely to worsen, as a recent spike in the currency exchange rate is expected to filter down to consumer prices in the coming months.But the struggle with rising costs for essentials is just one part of the story? Iran&rsquo;s outdated gas and energy plants are barely functional, operating at just 70% capacity. Without investment from Western firms, which pulled out years ago, Iran&rsquo;s energy sector has become a glaring example of decay. Now, Iranians are experiencing regular blackouts that disrupt industries, close offices, and add to the daily struggles. Energy shortages are also hitting one of Iran&rsquo;s biggest non-oil exports: steel. Production dropped by 50% last month alone, as the country&rsquo;s power grid struggles to keep up with demand. Ironically, while Iranians face blackouts, the government continues to export electricity to make up for revenue shortfalls, hoping to curb its debt. Can Iran afford to keep its own people in the dark to sell power abroad? And the story doesn&rsquo;t look much better on the international trade front as well. Trade between Iran and its major partners&mdash;China, the UAE, Iraq, Russia, India, and Turkey&mdash;suffered a severe decline in 2023.Iran saw a 26% drop in trade with India, a 17% decline with Russia, and a staggering 33% falloff with Turkey. Even China, Iran&rsquo;s biggest customer for oil, has scaled back its purchases significantly this year. How can Iran&rsquo;s economy recover if its trade lifelines are being cut off one by one? With regional tensions spiking over recent conflicts and promises of retaliation, Iran&rsquo;s economy is facing the strain on multiple fronts. Can the nation adapt to these challenges, or will we see even more disruption in the years to come? Only time will tell, but one thing is clear: the road ahead for Iran is anything but easy. While Iran's economy remains under strain, marked by skyrocketing prices for essentials, the government has increased military spending by 11%, reaching 24.6 billion dollars in 2022. For the first time in two decades, Iran ranks among the top 15 military spenders, with the Revolutionary Guard Corps budget up 14%, now making up 34% of total defense funds. But amidst these economic hardships and regional tensions, can Iran afford this shift toward military power at the expense of everyday essentials? Is this sustainable, or could it deepen the country&rsquo;s economic crisis?
