Overview

  • US B-2 bombers targeted the Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites late Saturday into Sunday, marking Washington’s first direct strikes on Iranian infrastructure in the conflict.
  • Iran retaliated early Sunday with more than 20 missiles, about half of which breached Israel’s defenses, injuring over 100 people and leaving nearly 9,000 civilians homeless.
  • The war has uprooted thousands across both countries with Iran’s Health Ministry reporting over 400 deaths and more than 3,000 injuries alongside mass evacuations from major cities.
  • Responding to domestic pressure, Israel approved a plan to renovate 500 public bomb shelters and deploy 1,000 mobile roadside shelters to protect displaced residents.
  • Tehran has arrested 53 people accused of collaborating with Israel, underscoring internal crackdowns as international leaders call for de-escalation.
