Tel Aviv – Israel said it carried out more strikes Iran On Monday, he goes to missile, satellite and radar sites two days after President Trump ordered American combat planes to join Israel to attack the nuclear facilities of the Islamic Republic, feeding concern in the world of an intensive conflict in the heart of the Middle East with the potential to attract the main world powers.

These concerns can continue to increase, since both Trump and Israeli officials insinuate the hope that military operations may result in the fall of the theocratic rulers of Iran, and when Iran’s main diplomat visits Russia in search of support from a key ally. Israel is also expanding its list of objectives in Iran to reach sites directly linked to the control of the ruling theocracy of power nationwide.

The Office of the Israel Minister of Defense said Monday that the Army was “attacking with unprecedented force regime objectives and government repression entities in the heart of Iran.” It was the first time that Israel recognized surprising objectives linked to the internal authority of the Iranian regime, instead of its military or nuclear assets.

The defense minister’s office said the new objectives included the Notorious Evin Prisonwhere political prisoners are celebrated, a clock in the Palestine Square of Tehran that symbolically shows a regressive account for the destruction of the state of Israel and the headquarters of Iran Basij paramilitary forcesthat among other things acts as a moral police force for Islamic rulers.

“For each shot in the front of the Israeli house, the Iranian dictator will be punished and the attacks will continue with all their strength,” said the Minister of Defense.

Israel’s defense forces said early on Monday that Israeli combat aircraft had also hit six airports in Iran, “as part of the effort to expand aerial superiority over Iranian heavens,” aimed at tracks, several airplanes and underground perch.

Iran also launched a new missile wave in Israel on Monday, sending people to bomb shelters throughout the country. According to the reports, dozens of missiles in Israel were launched, with impacts on at least two sites in the port city of Northern Haifa and on a road in the southern city of Ashdod.

Israel Electric Corporation said that, after a strike near one of its strategic facilities in southern Israel, there was an interruption in the supply of electricity to several communities in the area.

The attacks occurred after the B2 bombers attacked three of Iran’s nuclear sites during the weekend, the first direct military action of the United States against Iran after a week of Israeli attacks.

Iranian nuclear sites “totally erased” by US attacks?

President Trump said in a televised speech on Sunday that the Highly Fortified Fordo nuclear enrichment site of Iran, along with the nuclear facilities of Isfahan and Natanz, had been “completely and totally erased” by the US strikes.

“The initial damage assessments by the battle indicate that the three sites suffered extremely severe damage and destruction,” said the president of the chiefs of the Joint Staff, General Dan Caine, during a press conference, pointing out that a complete evaluation of the damage would take time.

But while Trump said in a publication on social networks that “spectacular military success” had taken “the ‘bomb’ just out of his hands,” the New York Times reported that the head of the global nuclear nuclear surveillance agency, the OIEA, believed that Iran could have moved at least part of his highly enriched uranium reserve to another place before the United States attack, as Iranian officers have affirmed.

In comments to the United Nations Security Council on Sunday, the head of the OIEA, Rafael Grossi, did not mention that perspective specifically, but said that “no one, including the OIEA, is in a position to assess the underground damage” Iran’s most sensitive site in Fordowhere it is believed that the regime did an advanced enrichment work in secret.

“We must return to the negotiating table and allow the IEA inspectors, the TNP guardians [nuclear non-proliferation treaty]to return to Iran’s nuclear sites and take into account uranium reserves, including, most importantly, the 400 kg enriched at 60%, “said Grossi, referring to most of the enriched Iranian uranium, it is previously known that Isfahan was stored in the ease of Isfahan.

“We have a window of opportunity to return to dialogue and diplomacy. If that window closes, violence and destruction could reach unthinkable levels and the global non -proliferation regime, as we know, could crumble and fall,” said Grossi the Delegations in the UN UN.

Secretary of State of the United States Marco Rubio acknowledged on Sunday In “Face the Nation” of News themezone, it would take days to confirm whether the enriched uranium arsenal of Iran had moved, but thought it was unlikely.

“Nobody will know with certainty for days, but I doubt that they have moved it, because you can really move anything at this time. They cannot move anything at this time inside Iran. At the time a truck begins to drive anywhere where the Israelis have seen it, and they attacked it and took it out. So our evaluation is, we must assume that a lot of 60% enriched enriched deliver it.

Rubio said that if they will be “calling right now and saying ‘we want to know, let’s talk about this’, we are prepared to do so. The president made it clear from the beginning. His preference is to deal with this diplomatically problem.”

Trump suggests the perspective of regime change in Iran

Rubio also reiterated on Sunday the previous statements of President Trump that the United States at Iran’s nuclear sites was carried out with the sole purpose of eliminating the threat that the regime obtains a nuclear weapon.

“It was not an attack against Iran. It was not an attack against the Iranian people. This was not a regime change movement.” Rubio said.

Trump, just after the attacks in the United States, said they would be the scope of United States participation in the conflict unless they will launch retaliation attacks against the assets of the United States in the region. But late Sunday, in a publication on social networks, Trump fueled the concern about a possible additional escalation of the conflict.

“If the current Iranian regime cannot make Iran great again, why would there be a regime change?” Trump said.

When asked about the president’s comments on Monday, the White House Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said Trump “was simply asking a question that I think many people around the world are asking: if the Iranian regime refuses to renounce its nuclear program or participate in the conversations that we only aspire to this nuclear Diplomia, shouldn’t this record assume? That is a question that the president raised last night.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his main aid have also suggested in recent days that the military action taken by Israel could Leave space for a survey in the Islamic Republic To overthrow the supreme leader Ayatolá Ali KhameneiThe regime and Netanyahu have directly asked the Iranians to take to the streets.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that they will “reserve all the options to defend their sovereignty, interest and people.”

Araghchi arrived on Sunday night in Moscow to talk with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has encouraged closer ties with Iran for years.

Around 40,000 US military personnel deploy in the Middle East, in warships and bases throughout the region.

The body of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard of Iran said in a statement on Sunday that “the number, dispersion and size of the US military bases in the region are not a strength, but have doubled their vulnerability.”

The United States Department of State issued a new alert on Sunday, meanwhile, to Americans who travel anywhere outside the country to “exercise greater caution”, due to the possibility that strikes feed the feeling or protests against the United States.
