Strikes in both countries persisted throughout the day, as the death rose following Israel’s large-scale attacks on Friday aimed at crippling Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure, sparking retaliation.
Here are the latest developments:
Death tolls mounted on both sides, with heavy fire also hitting residential areas.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to make Iran pay “a very heavy price” for the civilian deaths.
Israeli attacks on Iran killed at least 128 people from Friday to Saturday, including children, Iranian media reported, citing the health ministry, with hundreds more wounded.
- Expanding targets -
Israeli strikes hit two fuel depots in Tehran on Sunday.
Iranian media on Sunday reported Israeli strikes had targeted the police headquarters and the defence ministry headquarters in Tehran as well as a facility affiliated with the ministry in the central city of Isfahan.
Israel said it had intercepted seven drones launched towards its territory, as it also faced attack from Yemen’s Iran-backed Huthi rebels, which on Sunday said they launched several missiles at Israel.
The fierce exchanges of fire came amid talks between Tehran and Washington seeking to reach a deal on Iran’s nuclear programme.
The sixth round of negotiations set for Sunday in Oman have been called off, with Tehran saying it would not attend talks with Washington as long as Israel kept up its attacks.
Araghchi also accused Israel of having “crossed a new red line” by targeting Iran’s nuclear sites.
- International unease -
Araghchi on Sunday slammed one of Israel’s strikes on a major gas facility along the Gulf coast, saying any military activity in the key waters “could involve the entire region -- and possibly the whole world”.
Washington -- a top Israel ally and Tehran rival -- has denied involvement and called for an end to the exchanges of fire, with President Donald Trump on Sunday reiterating a call for the two sides to “make a deal”.
Earlier in the day, Trump had issued a warning to Iran saying it would experience “the full strength” of the US military if it attacked the United States.
