TEHRAN \u2014<\/strong> Tensions between Iran and Israel escalated dramatically over the weekend as Iran launched another barrage of missiles at Israeli territory on Saturday, leaving several civilians injured, while Israel responded with renewed airstrikes targeting Tehran.<\/p>\n

The back-and-forth strikes mark a serious intensification in the conflict, with both sides issuing strong warnings. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu<\/strong> vowed to strike \u201cevery target of the ayatollah regime,\u201d while Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian<\/strong> warned that continued attacks would prompt \u201ca more severe and powerful response.\u201d<\/p>\n

The worsening conflict has already disrupted diplomatic efforts. A planned round of nuclear negotiations between the United States and Iran<\/strong>, scheduled for Sunday, was abruptly canceled. Iranian officials stated that it would be impossible to negotiate \u201cwhile under attack from Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Civilian and Military Sites Hit<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s missile salvos caused injuries in Israel, with emergency responders reporting that an Iranian missile struck a home in the Haifa region, wounding 14 people<\/strong>, including one critically. Meanwhile, Israeli forces claimed to have hit \u201cmilitary targets in Tehran\u201d in a counteroffensive.<\/p>\n

Iranian state media outlet Tasnim<\/strong> reported that one of Israel\u2019s strikes hit the defense ministry’s compound in Tehran, damaging a building, although the ministry has not issued a public statement.<\/p>\n

Iran also confirmed that two oil depots<\/strong> were struck\u2014one in Shahran<\/strong> and another in southern Tehran. An AFP journalist on the ground witnessed the Shahran facility engulfed in flames.<\/p>\n

Mounting Casualties and Political Fallout<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Iran\u2019s envoy to the United Nations<\/strong>, Friday\u2019s initial wave of Israeli strikes killed 78 people<\/strong> and wounded 320<\/strong>, including military leaders and nuclear scientists. Israel reported three fatalities<\/strong> and 76 injuries<\/strong> from Iran\u2019s overnight missile and drone attack on Friday.<\/p>\n

Despite mounting casualties, Netanyahu maintained a defiant tone in a video message:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe will hit every site, every target of the ayatollah regime,\u201d
\u201cIn the coming days, we will escalate,\u201d he added, asserting that the Israeli offensive had already inflicted a \u201creal blow\u201d to Iran\u2019s nuclear infrastructure.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He also claimed Israel had the \u201cclear support\u201d of US President Donald Trump<\/strong>, who on Saturday spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin<\/strong>, saying they both agreed the Iran-Israel conflict \u201cshould end.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iran: US Cannot Mediate While Supporting Attacks<\/strong><\/p>\n

Iranian President Pezeshkian condemned the United States for backing Israel\u2019s actions while still engaging in nuclear talks with Tehran. A statement from his office read:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe continuation of the Zionist aggression will be met with a more severe and powerful response from the Iranian armed forces.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Iran\u2019s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi<\/strong>, also the lead nuclear negotiator, criticized Israel\u2019s actions as destabilizing and said they were undermining diplomatic negotiations:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThese strikes are pushing the region into a dangerous cycle of violence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Gulf nation of Oman<\/strong>, which has served as a mediator, confirmed the cancellation of Sunday\u2019s nuclear dialogue in light of the unfolding violence.<\/p>\n
