Amid escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, diplomatic efforts have intensified. A top Iranian diplomat hinted strongly that if Israel halts its attacks, Iran will also cease its retaliatory actions. Meanwhile, according to a source cited by The Jerusalem Post, Iran has asked Oman and Qatar to mediate to restart nuclear talks with Washington and halt Israeli strikes.
Currently, a fierce battle between Israel and Iran is underway. Last night, Iran used certain missiles in attacks on Haifa, Israel, that were deployed in combat for the first time. These included the Imad, Ghadir, and Kheibar-Shekan missiles, which are considered quite effective within Iran's long-range ballistic missile capabilities.
The conflict has reached its third day with both sides continuing to target each other’s positions. Israel attacked the Iranian gas field site, one of the largest in the world. Precision missile strikes from Israel set the gas field site ablaze, pausing production. Israel has targeted several other sites, including nuclear ones. So far, 138 people in Iran have lost their lives.
Iran launched over 50 ballistic missiles last night, some hitting their targets. Seven people have died in Israel. Meanwhile, Israeli PM Netanyahu warned Iran that this is only the beginning, foreshadowing more destruction if Iran continues. Israel's attacks have resulted in significant losses for Iran, striking across multiple fronts. Key commanders have fallen, and its nuclear programs have suffered severe damage.
By Sunday, the bombardment and ordnance shower from Israel on Iranian cities, which began on Friday morning, intensified. Israel targeted multiple Iranian military bases and nuclear sites. Recent attacks focused on oil and gas depots, and having targeted almost all nuclear sites, Israel now aims to weaken Iran's oil power.
