We are wrapping up this live page covering Israel’s ongoing war on Iran. Here’s a round-up of today’s major developments:

  • Israeli strikes on nuclear sites: Israel targeted Iran’s Arak heavy water reactor, claiming it was part of Tehran’s weapons programme. Iran denied this, saying the site was for medical purposes.

  • Ahvaz and Shiraz struck: Israeli air raids hit military areas in Ahvaz and Shiraz in Iran’s south, according to Iranian media.

  • Iran threatens to target military aid: Tehran warned that any country sending weapons to Israel would be considered complicit in aggression and would face retaliation.

  • Turkey slams Israeli actions: Ankara accused Israel of dragging the region towards “total disaster” and called for an end to its military campaign on Iran.

  • Iran condemns Israeli strike on nuclear site: Tehran accused Israel of targeting the under-construction Arak reactor, insisting the facility was meant for medical research, not military use.

  • Israel signals it may strike before US deadline: Israeli officials reportedly told Washington they might not wait for the two-week deadline set by US President Donald Trump and could launch further attacks on Iran independently.

  • US moves B-2 bombers to Guam: The Pentagon has deployed B-2 stealth bombers to its base on the Pacific island of Guam. US officials say the move comes as Trump weighs whether to back Israel’s war on Iran.

  • Houthis threaten to hit US ships: Yemen’s Houthi movement has warned it would target American naval vessels in the Red Sea if the US joins Israel’s assault on Iran.

  • Iran says Europe’s nuclear proposals unrealistic: A senior Iranian official dismissed European suggestions made in Geneva regarding Tehran’s nuclear activity, saying they lacked practicality and would block any chance of an agreement.
