Fars news latest on tehran attack

So I would be really surprised if this [attack] is it. At least 88 Palestinians were killed by Israeli attacks across Gaza on Friday, including 38 people — 14 children among them — in a strike on a residential building in Khan Younis in the south of the territory. Al Jazeera is reporting from outside Israel because it has been banned by the Israeli government.

Israel continues to maintain and tell its citizens that they are ready for any kind of strike that might be headed towards Israel. Israel tells their citizens, in defiant tones often, that the actions they are involved in right now — all this aggression — that it is going to make Israel safer in the long term. Even though the Israeli government continues to say they are protecting the homeland and that they are doing all they can to defend their citizens, many in Israel are worried that the country is becoming much more vulnerable.

Certainly, right now, the Israelis are saying that their defensive systems are capable. They are saying that they have not heightened the alert because of this attack on Iran. But that could all change, and we are bound to hear more about that from the Israelis in the hours to come. We have not heard any statement from him yet — but that is normal.

The UN chief usually will wait several hours after something like this takes place before he will issue a statement, to assess exactly what has transpired. Antonio Guterres for weeks now has been calling for de-escalation. Any sort of spillover, either into Lebanon or between Israel and Iran, is something that he has been very worried about for a very long time.

Several Iranian nuclear facilities are based in Isfahan, which Iran say are used for purely peaceful purposes, though Israel and Western powers have long suspected Tehran of secretly developing nuclear weapons. Israel appears to have heeded appeals from allies not to risk further escalation with a large response, but sought to send a message that it can strike close to Iran's nuclear programme and that next time it could be with much greater force.

Video from Isfahan obtained by BBC Persian shows orange flashes in the night sky and the sound of what appears to be bursts of anti-aircraft fire. Hamish De Bretton Gordon, a former commander of UK and Nato nuclear forces, told BBC News the attack appears to have been "fairly near to where we believe Iran is building nuclear weapons, so I expect it was a nod to them".

Earlier, the Italian foreign minister told reporters the US had been informed of Israel's plans "at the last minute". The strike in Iran coincided with reported blasts in Syria and Iraq. The Syrian defence ministry said an air defence position was hit by Israel, while reports in Iraq said part of an Israeli missile had been found on its territory.

In recent days, Iranian leaders had warned that any Israeli attack on Iran would trigger a swift response. Iranian state TV quoted a military spokesman as saying the explosions heard in Tehran were linked to air defense systems reacting to efforts by Israel to attack three locations outside the city of Tehran. Videos carried by Iranian media showed air defences continuously firing at apparently incoming projectiles in central Tehran, without saying which sites were coming under attack.

The semi-official Iranian Fars news agency said several military bases in the west and southwest of Tehran had also been targeted. Neighbouring Iraq also suspended flights in all of its airports until further notice, its state news agency said. Israel targeted some military sites in Syria's central and southern parts with airstrikes early on Saturday, Syrian state news agency SANA reported.

Israel has not confirmed striking Syria. The UAE has strictly condemned Israel's attack on Iran , expressing "deep concern" over the continuation of escalation and its consequences on regional security and stability. The country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed "the importance of exercising utmost self-restraint" to mitigate risks and prevent the expansion of the scale of conflict.

President has wanted the U. The vice-president appeared to struggle before Brennan as she claimed most of the executive orders made by Donald Trump this week did not relate to the economy. Which one lowers prices? President Donald Trump has praised U. Like so many high rollers before him, President Donald Trump appeared to be pushing his luck in Las Vegas on Saturday night, in a speech he made at a rally.

The suspect was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. President Donald Trump claimed a quick victory after the Colombian government said it would begin accepting repatriated migrants arriving in the country on U. The former RNC chair called the three nominees set for hearings this week a "threat" to the country.
