War in Middle East: Israel bombies atomic facility in Isfahan

The Israeli Air Force has continued the severe attacks by using its air sovereignty over large parts of Iran and bombed, among other things, a nuclear facility. The Israeli military said that it was a factory for the construction of uranium centrifuges in the city of Isfahan.

According to Iranian state media, no harmful substances left. Iran also shot Israel again. The information on both sides could initially not be checked independently.

Iran’s Foreign Minister warns the United States

Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts to terminate the war continued on the spot. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghtschi renewed the warning of his country that had already been expressed several times in Istanbul, and the United States’ intervention in the war would be “very dangerous”. The Organization for Islamic Cooperation (OIC) meets in the Turkish metropolis.

Previously, Araghtschi met in Geneva with his European colleagues Johann Wadephul (Germany), Jean-Noël Barrot (France) and David Lammy (Great Britain) and the EU foreign officer Kaja Kallas. Afterwards they only announced that they wanted to stay in conversation.

Trump: Europeans not helpful

US President Donald Trump has little importance to the efforts of Europeans. “Iran does not want to talk to Europe. They want to speak to us. Europe cannot help,” he said when asked by a journalist whether the conversations of the Europeans were helpful.

According to his own words, Trump has not yet committed whether he wants to have Iran attacked. Experts assume that only the United States would be able to destroy the important Iranian nuclear system Fordo, which is up to 90 meters deep below a rock massif. Israel hopes for this that itself neither has enough bombs nor the necessary carrier aircraft.

Araghtschi said Tehran said “unfortunately” to the conclusion that the United States had been involved in the aggression of Israel against his country from the start. The US government would reject this, but Iran has many evidence that Washington was involved from day one. The minister emphasized once again that there could only be talks if Israel ended his attacks. However, there was no evidence of this.

In a conversation with the US broadcaster NBC News, Araghtschi already suspected that the United States used previous negotiations with Iran only as a guise for Israel’s offensive.

The US military supports Israel in his defense against Iranian rocket attacks, but has not yet participated in the attacks on Iran, as is emphasized in Washington. According to Thursday, Trump wants to give diplomatic efforts from Thursday for around two weeks before making a decision on a possible participation in the war of the United States.

Further ranked military killed in Iran

Israel again targeted members of Iran’s military leadership. According to Defense Minister Israel Katz, a commander of the Al-Kuds brigades of the Iranian revolutionary guards were killed in an apartment in the city of Ghom. It was the leader of the Palestine Corps of the abroad of the elite trends of Iran, Said Isadi, said in a message from Katz. He financed and armed the Islamist Hamas on October 7, 2023 in front of the massacre in Israel. “The long arm of Israel will reach all of his enemies,” said Katz.

The apparently targeted killing of Isadis in an apartment is another indication of how much the Israeli secret services have hiked the Iranian security structures. The government -related Iranian news agency ISNA reported that in the province of Ghom, 22 people were suspected of having connections to Israeli secret services. This can result in the death penalty in Iran.

According to the military, around 50 combat aircraft from the Israeli Air Force in Iran were used at night. In addition to the killing of Isadis, they were used for attacks on military facilities and the nuclear facility in Isfahan. The army had attacked this facility at the beginning of the offensive. However, the latest attack should have caused further damage. The army published image material that shows the consequences of its air raids. There are massive destruction on the facility on these.

Saar: A lot achieved, but not yet enough

Israel estimates that his attacks in Iran have so far delayed the development of an atomic bomb by the Islamic Republic for years. “According to the assessments we hear, I think we have the opportunity for you to get an atomic bomb delayed by at least two or three years,” said Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar in a “picture” interview. Israel has achieved a lot, but “will not stop until we have done everything possible to eliminate this threat,” said Saar.
