A new wave of cross attacks shakes Iran and Israel for the conflict between the two countries. This morning, Iran has launched five missiles against Tel Aviv and other Israeli territories, although it has not caused fatal or injured victims. For its part, Israel has attacked nuclear facilities in the city of Isfahan, although without causing leaks of hazardous materials, according to Iranian media. Meanwhile, the uncertainty lasts on whether the United States will enter the conflict and attack Iran, to which Foreign Minister Abás Araqchi has replied that it would be “unfortunate” and “very, very dangerous for everyone.”
“They have denied it, they say they were not aware [del ataque del pasado 13 de junio]but we have many indications that they were aware from the beginning, and the tweets and statements of the US president (Donald Trump) make it clear, ”said Araqchi, according to the Turkish agency Anadolu.
In addition, Israel says he has killed a Iranian veteran commander during the exchange of attacks. As reported, it is Saeed Izadi, commander of the Quds force, the Palestinian branch of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. The Israeli army also announced, hours before, death this morning of Aminpour Joudaki, whom he identified as a commander of a drone brigade of the Iranian revolutionary guard.
At least two people have died in Israeli attacks throughout the morning in the Iranian city of Qom, one of them teenager. The attacks against a residential building, in addition, caused several injured, according to state television Press TV. In addition, according to local media and collects Al Jazeera, at least five people have died in Israeli attacks in the Iranian city of Khorramabad.

The Human Rights Activists News Agency (Hrana) organization, based in the United States, which is based on press information and its own sources, places the number of dead in 722 and that of injured in 2,546.
Diplomacy continues
Abás Araqchí continues to make diplomatic efforts to show his country open to negotiation, but without lowering the threatening tone against Israel and especially against the possibility that the United States joins war.
Yesterday, the bosses of the diplomacy of France, the United Kingdom and Germany and the high outdoor representative of the European Union (EU) in Geneva said that Iran had opened a diplomatic route in relation to its nuclear program, but conditioning it to Israel ceases attacks against its territory.
As a continuation of the meeting, Iranian President, Masud Peeshkian, today called his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, and as a result, according to Elíseo, Iran has agreed that conversations with European countries “accelerate” to seek a negotiated exit to war with Israel.
Although Iran, who is still willing to dialogue, has said that he will not accept to reduce nuclear activities to zero “under any circumstance.”
And today Aragchí has moved to Istanbul where he has met with the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has promised the Iranian minister to do everything possible to support new negotiations between Tehran and Washington and end the war.
Ankara, said Erdogan, is willing to do everything possible to facilitate this process and take as soon as possible to open the road to meetings between Iran and the United States, either at the technical level or among its leaders, something that Turkey will “always support.”
In Isfahan is Iran’s Nuclear Technology Center
The city of Isfahan hosts Iran’s nuclear technology center and a uranium conversion installation. Together with Natanz, Isfahan is one of the nuclear plants that have suffered numerous attacks of Israeli aviation throughout the week of climbing. Israel justifies its attacks on the Islamic Republic ensuring that its advances in its nuclear program suppose a threat to the country. The Israeli ambassador said in the UN that would not stop until the “nuclear threat” was eliminated. “We have already achieved a lot, but we will do everything possible,” he said. This same Saturday, after the new offensive, a spokesman for the Army of Israel has said they sought to “deepen the attack” with a “large -scale bombing to reinforce our achievements.”
For his part, Iranian Minister Araqchi denounced the Israeli offensive in Geneva. “This is an unfair war imposed on my people from the early hours of Friday the 13th,” he said.
During the early morning, Iran launched five missiles against Israeli territory to cities like Tel Aviv, which made the alarms sound, but have not caused dead or injured.
“Recently, Israel’s defense forces (FDI) identified missiles launched from Iran to the territory of the state of Israel. Defensive systems are operational to intercept the threat,” said the army. From those attacks, Israel has intercepted several Iranian drones. However, early in the morning, the Haaretz media reported several injured by an Iranian missile in Haifa.
