Iran Retaliates With Missile Strikes on Israel, Killing 3
Iran launched missile strikes on Israel early Saturday, killing at least three people and injuring dozens, in retaliation for Israeli attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities and military leadership. Israel's strikes, involving warplanes and drones, targeted key sites and killed top Iranian generals and scientists, citing Iran’s nuclear threat, though US officials said Tehran wasn’t actively building a bomb. The escalation disrupted upcoming US-Iran nuclear talks, as Iran fired multiple waves of missiles, while Israeli interceptors responded. UN chief Antonio Guterres urged both sides to halt hostilities and return to diplomacy.
