JERUSALEM (AP) — The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed Friday that an Israeli strike hit Iran’s uranium enrichment facility at Natanz.
In a statement on the social platform X, the IAEA’s head Rafael Mariano Grossi was quoted as saying: “The IAEA is closely monitoring the deeply concerning situation in Iran. ... The Agency is in contact with Iranian authorities regarding radiation levels. We are also in contact with our inspectors in the country.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel targeted both nuclear and military sites.
Israel attacked Iran’s capital early Friday in strikes that targeted the country’s nuclear program and raised the potential for an all-out war between the two bitter Middle East adversaries. It appeared to be the most significant attack Iran has faced since its 1980s war with Iraq.
Multiple sites around the country were hit, and black smoke was seen rising from the nation’s main nuclear enrichment facility.
The leader of Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard was confirmed dead, Iranian state television reported, a development that would be a body blow to Tehran’s governing theocracy and an immediate escalation of the nations’ long-simmering conflict. The report offered few details about what happened to Gen. Hossein Salami but said that another top Guard official, as well as two nuclear scientists, were also feared dead.
The strikes, which came amid simmering tensions over Iran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program, appeared certain to lead to a reprisal that Israel warned could target its own civilian population. In Washington, the Trump administration, which had cautioned Israel against an attack during continued negotiations over Iran’s nuclear enrichment program, said that it had not been involved and warned against any retaliation targeting U.S. interests or personnel.
Israeli leaders cast the preemptive assault as a fight for the nation’s survival and necessary to head off what they described as an imminent threat that Iran would build nuclear bombs, though it remains unclear how close the country is to achieving that or whether it had actually had been planning a strike.
“It could be a year. It could be within a few months,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said as he vowed to pursue the attack for as long as necessary to “remove this threat.”
“This is a clear and present danger to Israel’s very survival,” he said.
For Netanyahu, the operation distracts attention from Israel’s ongoing and increasingly unpopular war in Gaza, which is now over 20 months old. There is a broad consensus in the Israeli public that Iran is a major threat, and Israel’s opposition leader, Yair Lapid, a staunch critic of Netanyahu, offered his “full support” for the mission against Iran. But if Iranian reprisals cause heavy Israeli casualties or major disruptions to daily life, Netanyahu could see public opinion quickly shift.
>>1412481Probably not, but I wouldn't be upset if Israel was reduced to a crater. Think of how many bridge collapses we could prevent if we didn't have to pay for their universal healthcare anymore.
The jews keep pushing the envelope. Completely unjustified attack on civilian population. They're biting the hand that feeds them.
Time to send the USS Sitting Duck there for target practice. Trump will always cave to Israel.
>>1412477 (OP)So Israel is claiming they "fully coordinated" with the US, but Marco Rubio is saying they didn't help the Israelis and wanted to wait for a peaceful solution. Meanwhile Iran says both the US and Israel did this. Who is telling the truth?
Why did Republicans vote for this?
>>1412481Oh please, if full scale war on European soil for years hasn't given us WW3, yet another punch-up in the sandpit sure as fuck won't.
High School:Israel = smart little Jew USA = big strong friend that little Jew does his homework for. Little Jew picks on his neighbor because he wants his neighbor's land. Then little Jew expects his big strong friend to come in and help him.
Looks like Russia just lost its drone supplier. That's 2 crippling blows to the Russian air campaign in as many weeks.
>>1412494All the time, like clockwork.
>>1412477 (OP)About time. Instead of fighting hamas, go fight who's supporting them.
>>1412495*Laughs in Chinese*
>>1412494thanks I understand geopolotics now thnk
this is the difference between /news/ and /pol/. To /pol/, this is a "habbedig" that will kill us all, with multiple stickies and thousands of replies.
To /news/, it's just another day in the Middle East.
>>1412516>it's just another day in the Middle EastIt's not really. If Iran responds in force this will potentially be the largest war in the region in decades and Iran has the potential to seriously fuck up the world's oil supply if they want to go that route.
It also has the potential to be another US engagement on the level of Iraq if we get dragged in.
It's not gonna kill us all or anything, but a lot of bad shit can come of this and it is by no means business as usual. The best you can say is it has the potential of becoming business as usual if Iran cucks out.
Time to cut em off. Not another cent for israel.
>>1412517it depends on your age. If you're under 30, it's unusual. If you're over 60, it really is just the same ol same ol
>>1412516this is a significant large attack with deaths of important Iranian (generals, scientists, more?) officials and a high likelihood of reprisal. Also Israel has made additional following attacks.
>>1412481>WW3A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.
Wisdom from a movie AI. And two decades before a certain board started playing, least of all before /pol/ existed. Nothing Happens and Ron Paul's opinions are eternally wrong. But then, he & that 'meme' will always be nothing.
Far worse has happened before, yet here we are today, still not nuked. Nothing Ever Happens. Good
>>1412519If you have to go back more than 30 years for something similar to have happened, it's not same ol same ol. I think you're just jaded by having been born in a more dangerous time on this Earth.
>>1412519Anyone who drives to work and pays for gasoline is affected by this.

>The intrigue: in the hours after the attack began, Israeli officials briefed reporters that this was all coordinated with Washington.
>Two Israeli officials claimed to Axios that Trump and his aides were only pretending to oppose an Israeli attack in public — and didn't express opposition in private. "We had a clear U.S. green light," one claimed.
>The goal, they say, was to convince Iran that no attack was imminent and make sure Iranians on Israel's target list wouldn't move to new locations.
>Netanyahu's aides even briefed Israeli reporters that Trump had tried to put the brakes on an Israeli strike in a call on Monday, when in reality the call dealt with coordination ahead of the attack, Israeli officials now say.
>Iran makes deal with Obama not to pursue nuclear weapons and allow for regular inspections of their nuclear energy program
>Trump tears up the deal
>Israel bombs Iran to keep them from getting nuclear weapons

Iranian Telegram channels reporting another wave of attacks. Israel has been bombing Iran for roughly 15 hours with virtually no reaction from the Iranian air force.
>>1412558>lyingTrump himself confirmed it to the Wall Street Journal
>>1412564Yeah this means nothing after the fact.
>"Uh I totally knew the whole time actually. Knew it all along. yep. Totally."I do think we knew that Israel was about to do SOMETHING (hence pulling all the diplomats out of Iraq) but not the specifics.
>>1412561To be fair, outside of killing a few scientists they haven't done much (according to the IAEA the enrichment facilities haven't been damaged)

For reference, the Quds force is the branch of the IRGC tasked with arming, replenishing and directing Iran's middle east proxies like Hezbollah, the PMF, Kataib Hezbollah, the Houthis, and more independent groups like Hamas.
This guy is (was?) the successor of Soleimani.

What has Israel attacked in Iran?
Strikes have been confirmed in the following locations:
The capital, Tehran, and military sites in the surrounding area.
The city of Natanz, where explosions were reported at the main uranium enrichment facility.
The city of Tabriz, where explosions have been reported near a nuclear research centre and two military bases.
The city of Isfahan, south of Tehran.
The city of Arak, southwest of Tehran.
The city of Kermanshah, west of Tehran, where an underground facility storing ballistic missiles was hit near the Iraqi border.
Images posted on social media showed damaged structures, including residential buildings, across the Iranian capital.
Later on Friday morning, the Israeli army said it had damaged the Natanz uranium enrichment site’s underground structures, including a multistorey enrichment hall with centrifuges, electrical rooms and additional supporting infrastructure.
It added that “vital infrastructure at the site that allows for its continuous functioning and the continued advancement of the Iranian regime’s project to obtain nuclear weapons was attacked”.
The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran said radioactive contamination caused by the strike on the Natanz facility had been contained within the site and there had been no casualties.
On Friday afternoon, the Israeli army said its fighter jets had completed a series of strikes against Iran’s surface-to-surface missile array.
Dozens of launchers, surface-to-surface missile storage sites and other military sites were destroyed in the operation, Israel’s military said.
>>1412585Report retracted, nobody knows his status ATM
I'm very disappointed there hasn't been any King Salami jokes so far ITT.
>country constantly talks about how much they want to eradicate you
>country is close to having nuclear weapons but is purposefully holding off on the last few steps to not become a target
>country suddenly decides to take steps to close the gap towards owning nuclear weapons
I have my problems with Israel, but I don't see how anyone can blame them for taking what might be their last opportunity to stop an Iranian bomb
>>1412481It's not gonna be WW3 until major powers like Russia, China and NATO are going to start duking it out. And so far none of them are interested in fighting each other.
So this muh WW3 fearmongering is really getting on my nerves
I cannot think of a country that has done more damage for the reputation of jews than israel
Attacking iran during peace talks, DURING PEACE TALKS, and then pretending they're in the fucking right
>>1412767Israel might have some moral authority if they weren't expanding settlements, committing genocide and putting Palestinians in concentration camps.
>>1412767>>country is close to having nuclear weapons but is purposefully holding off on the last few steps to not become a targetThey have LITERALLY HONORED THEIR AGREEMENT FOR FORTY YEARS. Israel is the one that keeps attacking them under the fucking "weapons of mass destruction" bullshit. There is not a single hint of evidence of them EVER breaking the deal.
>>1412767>country suddenly decides to take steps to close the gap towards owning nuclear weaponsOur intelligence assessment was that they were not pursuing a nuke and we would have plenty of lead time to act if that ever changed.
That assessment only publicly changed after *we already knew Israel was going to attack*.
You will forgive me if I call bullshit. This is just Iraq WMDs part 2 with none of the fucking effort. Just Hegseth spouting bullshit and a bunch of incredulous and dishonest shitbags carrying water for him. Israel didn't attack because they were worried about Iran getting nukes. They attacked because they were worried about Iran getting a nuclear deal.
>>1412812>That assessment only publicly changed after *we already knew Israel was going to attack*.You probably don't even have to include the word publicly
Trumps goons have already admitted they only started investigating Abrego Garcia after the Supreme Court ordered him returned
https://www.yahoo.com/news/dhs-agent-makes-damning-confession-165833034.html
They're only bothering to create justification for their crimes after they get called out and if they need to
>>1412802>LITERALLY HONORED THEIR AGREEMENT FOR FORTY YEARSThey've been doing implosion tests lately. I'm not aware of any other technology that is good for other than miniaturization of nuclear warheads.
>>1412812>They attacked because they were worried about Iran getting a nuclear dealWasn't Trumps proposal pretty much "give up all your enriched uranium and centrifuges"? Pretty sure that's a deal Israel could live with very comfortably, not to mention that I don't see a world where Iran would accept that.
>>1412831>Wasn't Trumps proposal pretty much "give up all your enriched uranium and centrifuges"?Since when are negotiations "give us everything we want and get nothing"?
>>1412837Might want to tell that to China. Also most countries are outright refusing to negotiate with Trump cause he's a bitch.
He managed to get a deal with the UK and then immediately tanked it with steel tariffs and other than that he's accomplished jack shit on the diplomacy front this term. He even nuked his trade agreements with Canada and Mexico from his first term.
>>1412849Chuds will ignore this.
>>1412802The jews' religion literally tells them to break covenants and lie to nonjews, and that all nonjews are subhuman cattle worthy only to be mercilessly killed. The jews' religion teaches them to do to you or me what they do to palestinians, and they would do it tomorrow if they could get away with it. Just look at who the jews' rabbis call "amalekites", because they call palestinians, europeans, and especially Christians "amalekites".
Read the Bible and the Talmud and the Quran and you'll start to get a better picture of the world. But most people don't want to learn.
>>1412837Trump is a jewish freemason.
>>1412871I'm not going to read it solely because you're praising it and you're using gayfaggot terminally online terms like "chud", the same term used by the faggot trannies who spam kiddie porn on other boards like /g/.
kys, pedo
>>1412988Who indoctrinated you?
>>1412849>He managed to get a deal with the UK and then immediately tanked it with steel tariffsUK got the better part of that deal with US: the latter isn't imposing tariffs on UK steel & aluminum imports. Also, British Aerospace Systems is one of the biggest suppliers to US DoD: not exactly in their interest to impose tariffs on a supplier to their own military. What is Trump going to say to Starmer about that without that orange moron embarrassing himself?
>>1412988>The jews' religion literally tells them to break covenants and lie to nonjews, and that all nonjews are subhuman cattle worthy only to be mercilessly killedStrange then, how UK's Chief Rabbi and London's devout Muslim Labour Mayor voted in for an unprecedented third time recently by the mainly white population of that capitol are good friends. There goes ol' Reality, proving your opinions more than wrong again.
>>1412994>>1412988>Who indoctrinated you?>>1412988was indoctrinated by ignoring reality. Allowing retarded opinions - such as those in /pol/ - to exist in his brain cell will do that to morons.
>>1412835I was gonna reply but can't put it into better words than
>>1412835Also I'm really curious what Trump could have offered Iran in return that they would accept to these conditions. Especially considering how trump treats ALLIES nations who gave up their nuclear weapons in a deal
>>1412477 (OP)Time to turn Tehran into a parking lot.
>>1413003>Especially considering how trump treats ALLIES nations who gave up their nuclear weapons in a dealUh oh European melty
And this isn't actually about nuclear arms. It's about Trump accusing Iran of having nuclear arms as a pretense to invade and destroy them, just the same as we did to Saddam in Iraq.
I wouldn't have a problem with bombing Iran if it didn't displace muslims out into the western world.
Is anyone else very disappointed in Iran's armed response? They seem at least a full decade behind Israeli missile tech, although it might be that the Jordanians and Iraqis are shooting down their missiles and drones before they can make it to Israel.
>>1413148Israel always makes a big show and then does relatively nothing because they fear American retaliation.
If Two Weeks was made into a nation, it would be Iran.
>>1413156>IsraelFuck, meant to type Iran.
Whatever, they both act and look the same. They deserve each other.
>>1413159No Iranian has ever called me a white supremacist.
>>1412768Well Russia have signed with Iran long time ago to protect them in case they would enter war and they would start loosing however i don't see Russia actually helping them incase that attacker is Israel.
>>1413182Khamenei literally tweeted about BLM.
Iran isn't run by secularists like Assad. They are third worldist-Islamists.
>>1413197To be fair Russia couldn't even come to the help of Armenia which is part of their NATO equivalent
