Tel Aviv – 22 June 2025
1. Various AUDIO of sirens and Iranian missile strikes/interceptions
STORYLINE:
Sirens sounded in Tel Aviv on Sunday morning and Iranian missiles were intercepted after the US inserted itself into Israel’s war with Iran, striking three Iranian nuclear sites.
Iran’s top diplomat warned Sunday that the US attacks on its nuclear sites “will have everlasting consequences” and that Tehran “reserves all options” to retaliate.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who posted on the social platform X, was the first ranking official to comment on the strikes on Isfahan, Fordo and Natanz by the Americans.
“The events this morning are outrageous and will have everlasting consequences,” Araghchi wrote. He added: “In accordance with the U.N. Charter and its provisions allowing a legitimate response in self-defence, Iran reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interests and people.”
US President Donald Trump said the U.S. military struck three sites in Iran, inserting itself into Israel’s effort to decapitate the country’s nuclear programme in a risky gambit to weaken a long-time foe amid Tehran’s threat of reprisals that could spark a wider regional conflict.
The decision to directly involve the U.S. comes after more than a week of strikes by Israel on Iran that have moved to systematically eradicate the country’s air defences and offensive missile capabilities, while damaging its nuclear enrichment facilities.
But U.S. and Israeli officials have said that American stealth bombers and a 30,000-lb. bunker buster bomb they alone can carry offered the best chance of destroying heavily-fortified sites connected to the Iranian nuclear programme.
