The UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Sunday said that it had not detected any increase in radiation levels at key nuclear sites in Iran following US air strikes.

"Following attacks on three nuclear sites in Iran... the IAEA can confirm that no increase in off-site radiation levels has been reported as of this time," the nuclear watchdog posted on X, just hours after US President Donald Trump said the strikes had "totally obliterated" Iran's main nuclear sites at Fordo, Isfahan and Natanz.

Iranian state television reported that Tehran launched 30 missiles at Israel on Sunday after US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites. 

Iran's armed forces said Sunday they targeted multiple sites in Israel including Ben Gurion airport, after US attacks on key nuclear sites in the Islamic republic.

"The twentieth wave of Operation Honest Promise 3 began using a combination of long-range liquid and solid fuel missiles with devastating warhead power," the armed forces said in a statement quoted by Fars news agency. The targets included the airport, a "biological research centre", logistics bases and various layers of command and control centres, it added.

American planes launched a "very successful attack", US President Donald Trump said, claiming Iran's main nuclear enrichment facilities had been "completely and totally obliterated". Trump has said Tehran must never get a nuclear weapon, and ally Israel has claimed its attacks on Iran have set back the country's nuclear weapons progress by several years. Iran has always denied any ambition to develop nuclear weapons and maintained its right to a civilian nuclear programme.

Iran has significantly ramped up its nuclear programme in recent years, after a landmark deal with world powers curbing its nuclear activities in exchange for sanction relief began to unravel in 2018 when the United States under Trump unilaterally withdrew. As of mid-May, Iran's total enriched uranium stockpile was estimated at 9,247.6 kilograms -- or more than 45 times the limit set out in the 2015 deal -- according to the latest report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Among its stockpiles, Iran has an estimated 408.6 kilograms (901 pounds) enriched to up to 60 percent -- just a short step from the 90 percent needed for a nuclear warhead. The country now theoretically has enough near-weapons-grade material, if further refined, for about 10 nuclear bombs, according to the definition by the Vienna-based IAEA. (AFP)

India has started to evacuate its nationals from Israel as the ongoing conflict in the Middle East escalated with the US attacking three nuclear sites in Iran on Sunday, sources said.

At least 16 people were hurt and at least one impact was reported in central Israel after Iran launched two waves of missiles at the country following the US bombing of its nuclear sites, rescue services and reports said. Israel's Magen David Adom rescue service said in a statement that it had "evacuated 16 people to hospital, including a 30-year-old man in moderate condition after being wounded in the upper body by shrapnel".

Public broadcaster KAN 11 showed images of a devastated building surrounded by mounds of rubble that it said was in central Israel, following the two waves of missiles launched at Israel from around 7:30 am (0430 GMT). Sirens rang around the country after the Israeli army reported the incoming missiles, with air defences activated shortly afterwards, causing loud explosions heard in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

Israeli police reported "the fall of weapon fragments" in a northern area encompassing the port of Haifa, where local authorities said emergency services were heading to an "accident site".

The air force began "a series of strikes toward military targets in western Iran", a military statement said, adding it had "struck missile launchers ready to launch toward Israeli territory, soldiers in the Iranian Armed Forces, and swiftly neutralised the launchers that launched missiles toward Israeli territory a short while ago".

The US stealth bombers struck three key Iranian nuclear sites: Natanz, Esfahan, and Fordow.

Iran launched a barrage of missiles at Israel on Sunday, hours after the US joined the Israeli military's campaign and bombed three nuclear sites at the Islamic country.

At least 11 people were hurt and at least one impact was reported in central Israel after Iran launched two waves of missiles following the US bombing of its nuclear sites, rescue services and reports said.

Israel's Magen David Adom rescue service said in a statement that "11 people were taken to hospital, including one in moderate condition — a 30-year-old man wounded in the upper body by shrapnel."

Public broadcaster KAN 11 showed images of a devastated building surrounded by mounds of rubble that it said was in central Israel, following the two waves of missiles launched at Israel from around 7:30 am (0430 GMT).

US President Donald Trump confirmed late Saturday that American forces had conducted precision strikes on three of Iran's principal nuclear sites - Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow - in what he described as "a spectacular military success."

Airlines continued to avoid large parts of the Middle East on Sunday after U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, according to flight tracking website FlightRadar24, with traffic already skirting airspace in the region due to recent missile exchanges.

"Following US attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities, commercial traffic in the region is operating as it has since new airspace restrictions were put into place last week," FlightRadar24 said on social media platform X.

Its website showed airlines were not flying in the airspace over Iran, Iraq, Syria and Israel. They have chosen other routings such as north via the Caspian Sea or south via Egypt and Saudi Arabia, even if it results in higher fuel and crew costs and longer flight times.

The United States on Sunday targeted three nuclear sites in Iran, as it intervened in the ongoing conflict between the Islamic Republic and Israel and triggered fears of dangerous escalation of tensions across the Middle East.

"The United States, a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, has committed a grave violation of the UN Charter, international law and the NPT by attacking Iran's peaceful nuclear installations," Iran's Foreign Minister Sayyid Abbas Araghchi said in a statement. 

"The events this morning are outrageous and will have everlasting consequences. Each and every member of the UN must be alarmed over this extremely dangerous, lawless and criminal behaviour. In accordance with the UN Charter and its provisions allowing a legitimate response in self-defence, Iran reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interests, and people," Araghchi added.

Saudi regulatory authorities said Sunday that "no radioactive effects were detected" in the Gulf region after US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities.

"No radioactive effects were detected on the environment of the Kingdom and the Arab Gulf states as a result of the American military targeting of Iran's nuclear facilities," the kingdom's Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Commission wrote in a post on X.

Iranian authorities said Sunday "no signs of contamination" after the US attacks on key nuclear sites in several parts of the country.

"No signs of contamination have been recorded," according to National Centre for the Nuclear Safety System, which operates under Iran's Atomic Energy Organization.

"There is therefore no danger for the inhabitants living around the ... sites." (AFP)

Israel's military said on Sunday that it was working to intercept missiles launched from Iran, as air raid sirens rang out in Tel Aviv and explosions rocked Jerusalem.

"A short while ago, sirens sounded in several areas across Israel following the identification of missiles launched from Iran toward the State of Israel," the military said in a statement.

"At this time, the (Israeli Air Force) is operating to intercept and strike where necessary to eliminate the threat."

Iranian state television on Sunday has reportedly warned that "every American citizen or military personnel" in the Middle East is now on Tehran's "target" following US airstrikes on Iran's three nuclear sites-- including Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.

Air sirens heard across Israel hours after US struck nuclear sites in Iran. Iranian state TV also announced fresh salvo of missiles on Israel.

Iran's Foreign Minister Sayyid Abbas Araghchi has warned that US attacks will have "everlasting consequences" and said Iran reserves its right to defend itself under the UN Charter and its provisions.

"The United States, a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, has committed a grave violation of the UN Charter, international law and the NPT by attacking Iran's peaceful nuclear installations," he said in a statement. 
"The events this morning are outrageous and will have everlasting consequences. Each and every member of the UN must be alarmed over this extremely dangerous, lawless and criminal behaviour. In accordance with the UN Charter and its provisions allowing a legitimate response in self-defence, Iran reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interests, and people," Araghchi added.

Three Iranian nuclear sites were struck in a "very successful attack," President Donald Trump said on Saturday, adding that the crown jewel of Tehran's nuclear program, Fordow, is gone.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday said he was not seeking to be a mediator between Iran and Israel, and was only suggesting ideas for how the countries could resolve the escalating crisis. The Kremlin has spent much of the week positioning Moscow as a potential peacemaker after Israel launched strikes on Iran, which retaliated with missiles and drones.

But Western leaders have pushed back on a role for Putin and earlier this week Moscow said Israel had shown little interest in its overtures.

"We are by no means seeking to act as a mediator, we are simply suggesting ideas," Putin said at an economic forum in Saint Petersburg.

"If they turn out to be attractive to both sides, we will only be happy."

While Moscow has condemned Israel's strikes, Russia has not offered military help to its ally Iran and has downplayed its obligations under a sweeping strategic partnership agreement signed just months ago. (AFP)

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday said that his promise to destroy Iran's nuclear programmes has been "fulfilled" following "perfectly coordinated" airstrikes carried out by the militaries of Israel and the United States.

Iran Says "No Signs Of Contamination" After US Bombs 3 Key Nuclear Sites

After Trump spoke to the country about the bombing in Iran, the White House had an eerie calm. There was darkness outside the West Wing, other than bright TV crew lights and yellow lights from the nearby Eisenhower Executive Office Building overlooking the White House.

A siren rang in the background in city traffic that continued without pausing for the historic moment.

Israeli Airport Authority said that the airspace over Israel have been closed after US strikes on Iran.

The attack by the US comes two days after Trump said he would take as long as two weeks to decide whether the US should enter the conflict on Israel's side.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said promise to destroy Iran's nuclear programme fulfilled.

Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation confirmed attacks that took place on three of its nuclear sites by the United States' stealth bombers early on Sunday and said it would not allow the development of its "national industry" -- an apparent reference to

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he is “gravely alarmed by the use of force by the United States against Iran today.”

“This is a dangerous escalation in a region already on the edge – and a direct threat to international peace and security,” Guterres said in a post on X.

I am gravely alarmed by the use of force by the United States against Iran today. This is a dangerous escalation in a region already on the edge – and a direct threat to international peace and security.

There is a growing risk that this conflict could rapidly get out of…

US stealth bombers flew Saturday across the Pacific Ocean, according to tracking data and media reports, fuelling speculation over their intended mission.

Multiple B-2 bomber aircraft left a base in the central United States overnight, The New York Times and specialist plane tracking sites reported.

The B-2 is capable of carrying America's heaviest payloads, including the bunker-busting GBU-57 -- the only weapon capable of destroying Iran's deeply buried nuclear facility in Fordo.

President Donald Trump said Saturday that US air strikes had "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities and threatened more attacks if Tehran does not make peace.

"There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days. Remember there are many targets left," Trump said in a late-night address to the nation.

"If peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill."

"If peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill."

Iran's atomic agency said on Sunday that the country will carry on with its nuclear activities despite the US attacks on key facilities.

"The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran assures the great nation of Iran that despite the evil plots of its enemies ... it will not let the path of development of this national industry (nuclear), which is the result of the blood of nuclear martyrs, be stopped," the organisation said in a statement published by state media.

US B-2 bombers were involved in strikes on Iran's nuclear sites announced by President Donald Trump on Saturday, a US official told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Reuters had reported earlier on Saturday the movement of B-2 bombers, which can be equipped to carry massive bombs that experts say would be ideal to strike the sites.

"I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu," Mr Trump said. "We worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked before, and we've gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel."

The US President said the strikes' objective was to stop Iran's "nuclear enrichment capacity and put a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world's number one state sponsor of terror".

"The strikes were a spectacular, military success. They were killing our people. Hundreds of people in the Middle East have died. I decided long time ago that I will not let this happen and this won't continue," Mr Trump told reporters.

"There will either be peace or tragedy. There are many targets left. If peace will not come quickly, we will go after other targets with more precision strikes," he added.

In a post on X, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu Benjamin said: "President Trump and I often say: 'Peace through strength.' First comes strength, then comes peace. And tonight, @realDonaldTrump and the United States acted with a lot of strength."

US President Donald Trump is scheduled to address the media at 7.30 am (IST).

In another post on Truth Social, US President Donald Trump said: "This is an HISTORIC MOMENT FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ISRAEL, AND THE WORLD. IRAN MUST NOW AGREE TO END THIS WAR. THANK YOU!" 

According to a White House official, US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke after the US struck nuclear facilities in Iran.

The United States on Sunday carried out a "very successful attack" on three nuclear sites in Iran, President Donald Trump said late on Saturday, as his administration intervened in the conflict between the Islamic republic and Israel that escalated last week.
