Israel Iran News LIVE Updates: Iran Struck Soroka Hospital in Beersheba, Israel Attacks Iran바카라�s Arak Heavy Water Reactor

바카라�The very fact that the Zionist regime바카라�s American friends have entered the scene and are saying such things is a sign of that regime바카라�s weakness and inability바카라�, Iran바카라�s supreme leader posted on X.

바카라�I would like to tell our dear nation that if the enemy senses that you fear them, they won바카라�t let go of you. Continue the very behavior that you have had up to this day; continue this behavior with strength바카라�, Khamenei continued.

This comment comes after Israel's defence minister publicly threatened to kill Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Thursday after the latest missile attack from Iran damaged a major hospital and hit several residential buildings near Tel Aviv. Minister Israel Katz said that the Israeli military has been instructed as reports quoted him saying "this man absolutely should not continue to exist."

An Israeli military official has now said "it was a mistake" for a military spokesperson to have said earlier in the day that Israel had struck the Bushehr nuclear site in Iran.

The official would only confirm that Israel had hit the Natanz, Isfahan and Arak nuclear sites in Iran.

Pressed further on Bushehr, the official said he could neither confirm or deny that Israel had struck the location, where Iran has a reactor.

The Russian Foreign Ministry on Thursday urged Israel to immediately halt air attacks on the Bushehr nuclear plant in Iran where Russian specialists work.

Bushehr, Iran's only operating nuclear power plant, uses Russian fuel that Russia then takes back when it is spent in order to reduce nuclear proliferation risk.

Maria Zakharova, the ministry's spokeswoman, repeated a Russian warning to the U.S. not to get involved militarily in the Israel-Iran conflict, saying this would have unpredictable and negative consequences.

Israeli army spokesperson Effie Defrin says in a statement that Israel has struck 바카라�hundreds바카라� of surface-to-surface missile launchers in Iran and put them out of commission.

However, he added that Iran 바카라�still has the capability to launch missiles as it did this morning바카라� and emphasised that 바카라�civilian behavior is the primary defense and saves lives바카라�.

Al Jazeera has reported that Iran바카라�s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has confirmed plans to meet with his British, French, and German counterparts, as well as the European Union바카라�s top diplomat, tomorrow in Geneva.

Quoting Iran바카라�s state-run IRNA news agency, Aljazeera said, Araghchi said the meeting had come at the request of the three European states.

Iran on Thursday said it targeted an Israeli intelligence and command center 바카라�near a hospital,바카라� not the hospital.

바카라�In this operation, the command and intelligence center of the (Israeli) regime바카라�s army was targeted with high precision and in a pinpoint strike near a hospital,바카라� the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was cited as saying on Thursday by Iran바카라�s state-run IRNA news agency.

The statement didn바카라�t specify the name of the alleged command center it targeted, nor the hospital or their location.

Israel earlier said that in the southern city of Beer Sheva was directly targeted Thursday morning.

More on Iran바카라�s missile strike: The IRGC said its attack used a 바카라�combination of suicide drones and strategic missiles.바카라�

바카라�We had previously warned that the entire sky of the occupied territories is defenseless and there will be no safe spot,바카라� the IRGC said, referring to Israel.

IRNA earlier claimed the 바카라�principal target바카라� of the strike that damaged the Soroka Medical Center was a nearby technology park it said was used by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

The apparent target,  technology park, is less than a mile from the medical center.

Nuclear watchdog IAEA has said that it has information that Iran바카라�s Khondab heavy water reactor 바카라� also known as the Arak reactor 바카라� 바카라�was hit바카라�.

However, because the site was 바카라�not operational and contained no nuclear material바카라�, there are 바카라�no radiological effects바카라�, the IAEA said in a post on X.

The agency added that no information indicates the facility바카라�s heavy water plant was struck.

The Israeli military confirmed that its fighter jets struck dozens of military targets in Iran overnight, including the 바카라�inactive바카라� Arak nuclear facility in what it said was an attempt to prevent its potential use for nuclear weapons development.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claimed Thursday the facility, about 155 miles (250 kilometers) southwest of Tehran, was designed to product weapons-grade plutonium, a material used in the development of nuclear weapons.

Iran has repeatedly denied that it is building nuclear weapons, and international inspectors and intelligence agencies have yet to find evidence that it is.

바카라�The strike targeted the component intended for plutonium production, in order to prevent the reactor from being restored and used for nuclear weapons development,바카라� the IDF said in its statement.

Iran바카라�s foreign ministry spokesman has accused International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi and his organisation of being complicit in the ongoing conflict. In a post of X he said it was their 바카라�biased바카라� reporting on Iran바카라�s nuclear activities was used as a 바카라�pretext바카라� for Israel to attack.

Responding to Grossi바카라�s recent comment that the agency has no hard evidence Iran is actively developing nuclear weapons, Esmaeil Baghaei said: 바카라�This is too late.바카라�

바카라�You obscured this truth in your absolutely biased report that was [instrumentalised] by E3/US [France, Germany, the UK and the US) to craft a resolution with baseless allegation of 바카라�non-compliance바카라�,바카라� Baghaei wrote on X. 바카라�The same resolution was then utilised, as a final pretext, by a genocidal warmongering regime to wage a war of aggression on Iran and to launch an unlawful attack on our peaceful nuclear facilities.바카라�

바카라�Do you know how many innocent Iranians have been killed/maimed as a result of this criminal war?바카라� he said. 바카라�Misleading narratives have dire consequences, Mr. Grossi, and demand accountability.바카라�

바카라�You betrayed the non-proliferation regime; You바카라�ve made IAEA a partner to this unjust war of aggression바카라�.
