Israel’s defense minister warned on Saturday (June 14) that if Iran continues to fire missiles at Israel, it will burn Tehran to the ground. Three people were killed and several others were injured in the Iranian attack on the morning of June 14. After a meeting with the Israeli army chief of staff, Defense Minister Katz said, “Iran will pay a heavy price for harming Israeli civilians.” Katz said, “If (Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali) Khamenei continues to fire missiles at the Israeli home front, we will burn Tehran to the ground.” Iranian state television reported online that air defense systems were firing in the cities of Khorramabad, Kermanshah and Tabriz, signaling the start of a new Israeli attack. According to officials, fighter jets were used in the Israeli attack. Along with this, drones already brought to the country were also used. Iran’s UN ambassador said, ’78 people were killed in the attack and more than 320 people were injured. While Iran retaliated by firing drones and ballistic missiles at Israel. The explosion shook buildings in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.’ According to the information received, both Israel and Iran have said that their attacks will continue. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday, ‘Our goal was to eliminate any Iranian attack on Israel, but urged the Iranians to stand up to their leaders. The Israeli attacks have also cast doubt on further negotiations on the nuclear deal between the United States and Iran ahead of a meeting in Oman on Sunday. After the Israeli attacks, an Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman called further nuclear talks with the US ‘pointless.’
