Embarrass gains larger proportions in number of victims and destroyed structures, with attacks on both sides and more threats. Countries reject negotiate ceasefire at the moment.
The conflict between Israel and Iran accumulates more damage and death on both sides and is moving to expand on the third day of the exchange of aggression.
Israel launched a new series of attacks against Iran on Sunday (06/15), reaching its deepest target in Iranian territory since the beginning of Friday’s military operations.
In retaliation, Iran fired several missile batteries against Israel throughout the day. The Islamic Republic rejects negotiating a ceasefire while under attack, and Israel promises to maintain military pressure.
The clash is one of the most violent in the history of enmity of decades between Israel and Iran and has lit the warning about the possibility of a wider war.
After targeting nuclear facilities, military targets of gas and oil refinery, Israel reached several targets in Tehran and expanded attacks on other regions of the country, such as Mashhad Airport, in the east of Iran, about 2,300 kilometers from Israel.
In an interview with the American Fox News, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the outcome of his military offensive “can certainly” be the change of fundamentalist regime in Iran. He urged the Iranians to rise against the current Aiatolah regime.
Israel also killed Iran’s new head of intelligence intelligence, Mohammad Kazemi, and his deputy Hassan Mohaqeq, according to Iranian Tasnim agency. On Friday, Guard-Chief Commander Hossein Salami also died in the attacks.

Hundreds of dead in Iran
In Tehran, a dense cloud of smoke hung over the city after Israeli planes reach two fuel deposits. Local media reported that Israel also attacked police headquarters and 80 other targets in the Iranian capital at dawn.
Among the points reached is the headquarters of the Ministry of Defense. Thousands of people try to leave the city, which has generated intense traffic at the capital’s exit points.
The Israeli army also stated that it had reached new nuclear facilities, including the confidential organization of Innovation and Research in Defense (SPND), fuel tank trucks and other targets.
With no signs of truce, Iran announced that it would begin to open mosques, subway stations and schools to serve as makeshift shelters for civilians, while Israel continues to bombard urban centers and leave hundreds of victims.
The country’s Ministry of Health reported that at least 244 people died in 65 hours of Israeli bombing. Another 1,277 were injured.

Missiles reach Israel
Earlier this Sunday, Netanyahu criticized Iran for allegedly attacking civil areas. “Iran will pay a very high price for the premeditated murder of civilians, women and children,” he said during a visit to a missile attack against a residential building in the coastal city of Bat Yam, near Tel Aviv.
The statements occurred a few hours after Iranian missile shots at Israel, who killed at least 10 people at dawn, raising the death toll in Israeli territory to 13 since Friday. 380 people were injured.
The projectiles were able to overcome the strong Israeli air defense system, although most missiles were intercepted.
Among the victims are six people who died in a Bat Yam missile attack on the Mediterranean coast. In northern Israel, rescue teams, and doctors said a late Saturday night attack destroyed a three -story building in the city of Tamra, killing four women.

Trump veto attack against Aiatollah
US President Donald Trump stated that Washington “had nothing to do” with the Israeli campaign started on Friday, but also threatened to launch “all the strength and power” of the US Army if Iran attack US facilities.
Still, Iran’s Foreign Minister ABBAS ARAGHCHI accused Israel of trying to sabotage nuclear negotiations in progress between Iran and the US, which, according to him, could have paved the way for an agreement, and discredited the official US statement of not having participation in the conflict.
“Israel’s attack would never have happened without green light and US support,” he said.

According to reports obtained by the AFP news agency, Trump vetoed an Israeli plan to murder Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
“We found that the Israelis had plans to reach the supreme leader of Iran. President Trump went against and we told the Israelis not to continue,” an American officer told AFP.
Iran has canceled nuclear negotiations with the US scheduled for this Sunday, claiming that it makes no sense to negotiate while being attacked. According to the Reuters news agency, the country rejected discussing a ceasefire under the same justification.
“Red Line”
Abbas Araye said Iran does not want the conflict to expand to neighboring countries unless the situation “obliges it.”
The minister condemned the Israeli attack from the day before an important gas installation in operation in South Pars, the largest known gas reserve in the world, located in the province of Bushehr, south of Iran.
At the time, Israel aimed several Iranian gas and oil refineries, firing fears on commodity costs around the world.

“Dragging the conflict for the Persian Gulf is a strategic error, and its goal [de Israel] It is taking the war beyond the Iranian territory, ”he said. Araghi also said the Israeli attacks on nuclear facilities” surpassed a new red line. “
Iran’s revolutionary guard stated that Iran retaliated and attacked places used by Israeli war planes for replenishment. He also fired at Israel’s energy infrastructure. Explosions were heard in Tel Aviv and Haifa.
The Rebelde Houthi group, based in Yemen, said it had launched several missiles against Israel, saying that the attacks were “coordinated with operations performed” by its main supporter, Iran.
The revolutionary guard has promised to respond “more strongly and more amplitude” if Israel continues its campaign, but ARAGHCHI stated that if Israeli aggression ceases, the Iranian answers will also cease.

European powers seek dialogue
Leaders of the world’s largest economic powers land on Sunday in the Canadian rock mountains for the G7 summit, where they should press Trump to unlock a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
Speaking to journalists before the summit, German Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the meeting will focus on ensuring that Iran cannot develop or have nuclear weapons.
Germany, France, and Britain say they are ready to talk to Iran immediately about the Tehran nuclear program in an attempt to calm the situation in the Middle East, said German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul visiting Oman.
Trump told ABC News to be open to a truce between the two countries being mediated by President Russovladimir Putin. French President Emmanuel Macron rejected the idea.
“I do not believe that Russia, which is now involved in a high intensity conflict and has decided not to respect the UN letter for several years, could be a mediator,” he said.
The president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, emphasized that Israel has the right to defend itself and that “Iran is the main source of regional instability,” in a telephone call with Netanyahu.
“Europe has always been clear: Iran will never be able to acquire a nuclear weapon. There is an urgent need for a negotiated solution,” he added.
