Israel says Iran launched 100 drones towards its territory after attack on Iranian nuclear sites and killing of military leaders

Following the attack on its nuclear sites and the killing of senior military leaders in Tehran, Iran has vowed to seek revenge, promising a strong response and warning that it will have the final say in this conflict.

Israel reported that Iran had sent 100 drones towards its territory in what appeared to be a retaliatory move. The drones were intercepted by Israeli air defenses outside the country's borders. Meanwhile, Iraq and Jordan also reported drone and missile interceptions in their airspace, fearing potential attacks on their territories.

Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, condemned the attack and threatened severe punishment, claiming that residential areas had been targeted. The Iranian leadership promised both military and diplomatic retaliation, highlighting civilian casualties in the strikes.

There are speculations about Iran potentially targeting US military sites in the Middle East, with Iranian leaders suggesting that the Trump administration may have been complicit in the recent attacks. While the US denied involvement, Tehran pointed to Israeli statements indicating coordination with the US and the Israeli air force's reliance on American supplies.

In a strongly worded statement, Iran accused Israel of terrorism and criticized its disregard for international laws. The Iranian government warned against provoking a war, stating that any conflict with Iran would have severe consequences.

Following the Israeli strikes, which resulted in the deaths of several key Iranian figures, including military commanders and a nuclear scientist, reports emerged of attacks on residential buildings and army barracks across Iran. While there were no reports of nuclear leaks, concerns remain about potential future attacks on economic targets.

Iran is urging its citizens to remain calm and ignore rumors, emphasizing official communication channels. Diplomatic efforts were underway, with planned talks between Iran and the US focusing on uranium enrichment and nuclear monitoring.

Iran has consistently defended its right to enrich uranium for civilian purposes, denying any intentions to build nuclear weapons. The country's negotiating team had been hopeful of reaching a deal with the US, but the recent events have raised doubts about the prospects of diplomatic resolutions.

Despite tensions escalating in the region, Iran is seeking to maintain relations with Arab states while facing increased pressure from Israel. The effectiveness of Iran's air defenses has been questioned following previous Israeli airstrikes on the country.
