On Monday, it marked \u00a011 days\u00a0 since the \u00a0direct confrontation\u00a0 between \u00a0Iran\u00a0 and \u00a0Israel\u00a0 began, with the day characterized by new attacks, threats of reprisals, and the consolidation of \u00a0U.S. military involvement\u00a0 as an active part of the conflict.<\/p>\n

Following U.S. airstrikes on Sunday against key Iranian nuclear centers\u2014\u00a0Isfahan, Natanz, and Fordow\u00a0\u2014the Iranian regime warned it would respond with \u00a0direct military retaliation\u00a0. \u00a0Ali Akbar Velayati\u00a0, advisor to the Supreme Leader \u00a0Ali Khamenei\u00a0, indicated that any base used by the \u00a0U.S.\u00a0, “in the region or elsewhere,” could become a target for attacks. The U.S. Department of State issued a global alert for all U.S. citizens and diplomatic personnel.<\/p>\n

In the early hours of Monday, new attacks were recorded. Sirens sounded in northern and central Israel following the launch of \u00a0ballistic missiles\u00a0 from Iran. The Israeli Air Force retaliated with bombings targeting military infrastructure in the Iranian city of \u00a0Kermanshah.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Israel Attacked Six Military Airports in Iran, Destroying Part of Its Air Capacity<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\u00a0The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF)\u00a0 reported that they bombed six \u00a0Iranian military airports\u00a0 located in the west, center, and east of the country as part of their offensive against the Tehran regime.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to the official statement, the attacks destroyed \u00a0runways\u00a0, \u00a0underground hangars\u00a0, \u00a0refuelling aircraft\u00a0, and several combat aircraft, including models such as \u00a0F-14\u00a0, \u00a0F-5\u00a0, and \u00a0AH-1\u00a0.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The \u00a0destroyed aircraft\u00a0, as stated by the IDF, were meant to intercept the \u00a0Israeli Air Force (IAF)\u00a0 planes. This operation is reported to have significantly affected both the \u00a0takeoff\u00a0 capabilities from these bases and the ability of the \u00a0Iranian military to operate its air force\u00a0 from these strategic points.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A \u00a0ballistic missile launched by Iran\u00a0 struck near a \u00a0power plant\u00a0 in southern \u00a0Israel\u00a0, causing temporary power outages in several localities in the area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The \u00a0Israel Electric Corporation (IEC)\u00a0 confirmed that supply was \u00a0fully restored\u00a0 following the intervention of technical teams. \u201c\u00a0The teams restored electricity to all consumers\u00a0,\u201d the company stated in an announcement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

IDF Attacks Evin Prison and the Clock of Destruction of Israel, Key Symbols of the Iranian Regime in Tehran<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

Israeli Defense Minister \u00a0Israel Katz\u00a0 specified on Monday the targets of the current air offensive over \u00a0Tehran\u00a0, describing it as a large-scale operation aimed at the nerve centers of the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201c\u00a0The Israeli Defense Forces are currently attacking with unprecedented force regime targets and government repression bodies in the heart of Tehran\u00a0,\u201d Katz stated in an official message. Among the targets mentioned are the \u00a0Basij headquarters\u00a0, \u00a0Evin Prison\u00a0, known for housing political prisoners and opponents, the \u00a0“Destruction of Israel” clock\u00a0 located in \u00a0Palestine Square\u00a0, and the headquarters of the \u00a0Revolutionary Guard’s internal security\u00a0, among other state ideological centers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to the minister, the \u00a0Evin prison\u00a0 was attacked in a manner that would avoid harm to the inmates, seemingly aimed at \u00a0facilitating the escape of detainees\u00a0.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

One of the symbols attacked was the \u00a0clock installed in 2017\u00a0 in central Tehran, which counted down to the supposed disappearance of Israel in \u00a02040\u00a0, a date proclaimed by the Iranian authorities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The European Union’s Foreign Policy Chief, \u00a0Kaja Kallas\u00a0, directly warned \u00a0Iran\u00a0 on Monday: the potential closure of the \u00a0Strait of Hormuz\u00a0, as demanded by the Iranian parliament in response to the \u00a0U.S. attack\u00a0, \u201c\u00a0would be extremely dangerous and would not be good for anyone\u00a0.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Upon her arrival for the \u00a0Foreign Affairs Council\u00a0 meeting in Brussels, Kallas confirmed that ministers would discuss the impact of the recent U.S. attack and its regional implications. \u201c\u00a0Especially the closing of the Strait of Hormuz, which would be extremely dangerous and not good for anyone\u00a0,\u201d she reiterated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Kallas emphasized that the \u00a0European Union\u00a0 is committed to a diplomatic approach. \u201c\u00a0The EU has always favored diplomacy\u00a0. We spoke with the Iranian minister on Friday, and \u00a0Iran was opening up to discussing nuclear issues and broader security concerns troubling Europe\u00a0. We must keep this going because, in the end, there must be a \u00a0diplomatic solution\u00a0 for a long-term perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The head of European diplomacy reminded that the \u00a0international agreement on Iran’s nuclear program\u00a0 includes a clause that allows for the reimposition of sanctions if the country violates its commitments. \u201c\u00a0If everyone agrees that Iran should not have a nuclear weapon, we must work towards that\u00a0,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
