Among the targets for missiles strikes is Israel's Ben Gurion Airport which is currently on fire, according to a report.
An Iranian missile reached and struck an underground bunker situated beneath a building in Tel Aviv; in other words, the attack is claimed to have targeted not just the building itself, but also the secure facility located beneath it.
However, independent confirmation of the claim indicated that it was a "first in history" event—indicating that Iranian missiles damaged protected or military installations in the vicinity of Tel Aviv.
Also Iran claims that Israel's Nevatim airbase—where F-35I fighter jets and other military aircraft are stationed was targeted —causing heavy damage with missiles. However, there is no independent confirmation yet that the airbase was completely destroyed, therefore, for now, remains an Iranian claim.
Unconfirmed report aledged that Iran's hypersonic missiles that targeted an Israeli security meeting in Tel Aviv, killed more than 10 Israeli generals.
It is claimed that these officers were planning an attack against Iran's Supreme Leader.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has unveiled a large collection of US & Israeli aircraft & UAV wreckage recovered during the recent war, displayed inside an underground IRGC Aerospace Force air-defense base.
Among them are wreckage from MQ-9 Reapers, Hermes 900s, Hermes 450s, alongside an MQ-9 identified with serial number 261.
Tehran says some UAVs were also recovered largely intact despite multiple methods to evade air-defense detection and interception.
Iran also displayed the remains of a US F-15 shot down on April 3. According to the IRGC, the aircraft was shot down using a new domestically produced air-defense system and missile combined with unconventional tactics, leaving its crew only seconds to react before impact.
The IRGC says more than 85% of its air-defense production infrastructure survived the war, allowing production and deliveries to continue without significant interruption. Production rates for several missiles and systems that proved effective during the fighting have reportedly since risen above pre-war levels.
Also displayed are Starlink terminals, which Iran says were associated with communications involving U.S. and Israeli UAV operations and networks inside Iran.
171 aircrafts (majority drones) were hit during the war, including 10 crewed aircraft, alongside numerous UAVs and cruise missiles.
Iran says the wreckage displayed at the underground facility represents only a portion of the aircraft and drones it has brought down

Without another destroyer in the eastern Mediterranean, Gen. Alexus Grynkewich warned he may have to prioritize defending the U.S. homeland over Israel.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem is urging Americans across the Middle East to consider leaving, warning of flight cancellations, airspace closures, and major travel disruptions as fears of a wider regional war intensify.
Confirmed sources are confirming that Iran has reduced the highly secure and secret base of the US intelligence agency CIA in Kuwait to ashes with a missile attack, in which at least fifty highly qualified CIA personnel have been burned to ashes. Since this attack, the US has stopped the attacks and is again seeking negotiations.
The United States has still not recovered from its surprise and confusion as to how Iran so successfully targeted a base that American officials themselves were unaware of.
An Israeli journalist has written that America is being badly beaten in the Middle East. Its strongest bases are being successfully withdrawn, and America is failing miserably to stop it. The bravery of the Iranians, the discipline of their forces, and the underground weapons stockpiles spread throughout Iran make Iran invincible.
Even Israel and the United States are unable to send troops into Iran together because both are convinced that if they do so, Iran will annihilate them.
Amidst the plans of US/Israel escalating war with Iran, Tehran has prepared a comprehensive plan to completely destroy the Middle East's energy infrastructure, a synchronized decapitation of the world's oil and gas supply, if the U.S. or Israel launches new strikes, per Tasnim News.
The target list includes:
· Saudi Arabia: Ghawar oil field (5%+ of world supply), Abqaiq & Khurais (7M+ bpd)
· UAE: Zakum field & Ruways refinery (1M+ bpd)
· Qatar: North Field & Ras Laffan (20% of global LNG trade)
· Kuwait: Burgan field (2M bpd)
· Bahrain: Sitrah refinery & Al-Mihaj
· Israel: Leviathan & Tamar gas fields
A senior Iranian security official said: "We have prepared a comprehensive plan to respond to any potential American recklessness" — recalling that during the 40-day war, Iran bombed Qatar's most important gas refinery, and Trump apologized on Truth Social.
The U.S. State Department has also sent out a security alert to diplomatic personnel across the gulf states, stating that ‘significant escalation’ with Iran could be expected in the near future.
The alert was issued to all U.S. missions and diplomatic staff in the following countries of the region:
UAE
Qatar
Oman
Iraq
Jordan
Israel
Kuwait
Saudi Arabia
Bahrain
Egypt
Consequently, American citizens across the Gulf region have been asked to consider vacating the middle east.

| US military launched an attack on an empty sports hall in the city of Farashband, Fars Province, southern Iran. |
Iran has no plans to send a delegation to Pakistan or Qatar for negotiations, Nour News, which is close to Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, reported on Thursday, citing an official.
The official denied that US-Iran talks would resume in Geneva, Doha or Islamabad.
“Recent US Treasury action complicated the relatively successful talks between Iran and Oman,” the official was quoted as saying.
Meanwhile, Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry said in Thursday US-Iran talks are ongoing to help restore stability, particularly in the Strait of Hormuz.
Islamabad urged both sides to resolve tensions through dialogue and diplomacy, reaffirming its support for a peaceful solution.
The comments come as regional tensions remain high after the US launched fresh strikes on Iranian-linked targets following attacks on American forces.
US military in the middle east launches new wave of strikes on Iran, the centcom hits residential building on Qeshm Island on Wednesday.
"U.S. forces began launching strikes against Iran at 8 p.m. ET today. The strikes are a powerful response to yesterday's attempted Iranian attacks on U.S. forces based in the Middle East." CENTCOM said in a statement.
CENTCOM confirms new strikes, calling it a "powerful response" to Iran's attempted attacks on US forces.
What was hit: Qeshm Island — residential area struck, search and rescue teams working to free 2 people trapped under rubble
Bushehr was also targeted. According to the report, US strikes caused a short power outage in Qeshm by damaging the grid.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards threatened countries assisting the United States with a “harsh response” unless they changed their conduct, according to a statement issued on Thursday.
The IRGC said the Strait of Hormuz would remain closed as long as the US continued making threats and intervening in maritime movements in the region.
It said two oil tankers attempted to leave through what it called an unsafe route south of the strait on Wednesday night under the direction of US aircraft. Both vessels turned back after a major fire broke out aboard one of them, the IRGC said, without providing evidence.
IRGC-affiliated Fars News reported on Thursday that a Qatari LNG carrier passed through the Strait of Hormuz with Iran’s permission, the first such shipment in three weeks.
The vessel transmitted tracking data and used a route designated by Iran, passing without incident and continuing toward international waters, the report said.
As CENTCOM is firing HIMARS missiles from Kuwait to targets in Iran. In response, more Iranians are demanding the full destruction of the Kuwaiti regime for its ongoing aggression and slaughter of Iranians just as it helped Saddam do in the 1980s. According to a report from an Iranian official.
According to AFP report citing Kuwait’s military source, an Iranian strike hit a Chinese firm’s building in northern Kuwait Thursday morning, killing a worker.
A report also has it that following the failure of US air defenses to intercept Iranian missiles, air navigation data shows that German and French military aircraft have headed to US bases in Jordan to assist American forces in intercepting Iranian attacks. This is a clear message of NATO allies readiness to directly involve to help the US in the war against Iran as Britain has already offered it's airbase assets for operations against Tehran.
The US Army has awarded Lockheed Martin a contract worth up to $58.6bn to produce PAC-3 Patriot Missile Segment Enhancement interceptors, marking one of the largest munitions contracts in recent years, reports Reuters. The US has been in shortage of interceptors and weapons. Hence clamouring for ceasefire.
Citing three sources familiar with recent Pentagon data and a new report by outside analysts, CNN reports that the US military's weapons stockpiles, including its inventory of crucial air defense missiles, remain severely depleted following a major flare up of the war with Iran in recent weeks.
America says it is closely watching for any attempts by Russia or China to send weapons to Iran.
This comes amid ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions and recent public warnings from President Trump against such transfers.
Israel has said the US is preparing for something "bigger than anything we have seen before" in the war on Iran, a senior Israeli security official tells Channel 15.
The official adds the US is preparing for a large-scale unprecedented operation against Iran, not just a single isolated response, with Israeli defense circles saying the US is approaching a major counter-response.
However, on the Strait of Hormuz debacles, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu outlined a long-term vision in which the Strait of Hormuz would lose much of its strategic importance by redirecting regional energy exports through alternative pipeline networks.
According to this concept, energy could be transported from the Gulf to the Red Sea, then across Israel to Mediterranean ports, creating a new export corridor that reduces reliance on Hormuz as a global chokepoint.
Supporters of this view argue that such infrastructure would transform Israel from being primarily a strategic ally into an indispensable energy transit hub. They contend that once major oil and gas flows depend on this route, protecting Israel would become increasingly tied to broader economic and energy security interests.
The argument also draws parallels with recent U.S. defense initiatives, suggesting that deeper integration through defense manufacturing, intelligence cooperation, and critical infrastructure creates relationships that are progressively more difficult to reverse. In this interpretation, the combination of military, intelligence, and energy ties strengthens the long-term strategic partnership by making disengagement increasingly costly.

Netanyahu said that this will be his eighth meeting with Trump, which is more than he has had with any other world leader.
Some hours before meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu, President Trump told Fox News that Netanyahu was publicly raising concerns about Iran’s “Pickaxe Mountain” to persuade him to remain engaged in the conflict.
Trump said those discussions should have taken place privately, adding that Netanyahu should have spoken to him directly instead of “telling the world.”

All European diplomates have vacated Tehran as IRGC also said they are prepared for the mother of all showdown as massive US and Israeli forces operation against the Persians are underway.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they struck the US al-Azraq air base in Jordan, damaging several warplanes and hitting accommodation for US troops, in what they described as the 27th wave of Operation Nasr 2.
Jordan’s army confirmed the attacks and said it downed seven Iranian missiles and six drones.
In a statement on Friday, the IRGC also said they destroyed a Patriot air defense system and a surveillance balloon in Erbil, Iraq, and struck an accommodation used by US personnel.
The Guards added the United States would face further responses if it continued it's attacks against the Islamic Republic.
The attacks came after the US military said it had carried out a 13th consecutive night of strikes on Iran to halt attacks on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz and nearby waters.
IRGC in what they called Statement No. 49 said the American military personnel are relocating to civilian buildings therefore warned the general public for their safety to maintain a 500-meter distance.
"Their presence is the danger." "We warn the general public in countries where American soldiers are stationed to immediately stay out of a radius of 500 metres from the places where American soldiers are hiding, in order to be safe," the Guards said in a statement carried by state television.
US Air Force KC-135R aerial refueling tankers have arrived from the US to Israeli bases in the past few hours, bringing the total to nearly 100 aerial refueling tankers in Israel, with the massive USAF airlift from Europe to the Middle East still ongoing.
The US also deployed 2 EA-37B "Compass Call" electronic warfare aircraft today, specialized in Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) missions to jam radars and communications, likely for a Pickaxe Mountain strike in combination with the recently deployed B-1 Lancer.
The massive new US operation against Iran is likely to begin tonight as soon as markets close, including the direct/indirect involvement of Israel.
Iran's IRGC warned the UK of any involvement in the military campaign against Iran by the US and Israel.
The NATO submit held in Turkey was a rallying moment for the us to bring other European leaders to join the war against iran.
A former British Prime Minister Mr Keir Starmer, who refused to participate in the US-Israeli war against Iran, was accused of inefficiency and resigned under pressure. While another person from the same party assumed office as Prime Minister and he hurriedly placed the UK's military bases at the disposal of the US military recalling UK diplomats from Iran.
The middle east situations will see many American allies suffer more in the hands of the Iran's ballistic missiles.
An Omani delegation has arrived in Iran to discuss a framework “to establish appropriate mechanisms for managing ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz,” according to Iran's state media. Al Jazeera reported.

At the same time, Russia launched massive strikes on Ukrainian drone manufacturing and infrastructure sites, including in the Kyiv region. Sources confirmed that Graham returned home and died suddenly on July 11 evening at age 71 from a “brief and sudden illness.”
No confirmed link exists between the strikes and his death.
Iran is expanding the scope of escalations of attacks against the US targets in the middle east. Israeli sources confirmed that Iran missiles hit target in Jordan.
This is a major defeat for the United States. No way around it.”
IRGC has also warned the residents of Kuwait, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates to avoid American bases and areas where missile systems are located, as they may become targets for attacks in the near future.
IRGC also claims it destroyed a command and control center and MQ-9 reconnaissance drone depots with several ballistic missiles in Jordan.
Retired U.S. Army Major General Randy Manner says the Hormuz standoff exposes a stark reality. While Washington says the strait is open and Tehran says it’s closed, CENTCOM data reportedly shows traffic has fallen from around 140 ships per day before the war to about 140 per week.
On diplomacy, he argues the administration lacks a credible negotiating team and sees neither a military nor diplomatic solution.
His prediction: Trump eventually pays Iran billions and quietly accepts Iranian control over its side of the Strait of Hormuz.
On Mitch McConnell, he remarked: “This sounds exactly like the old Soviet approach.
US President Donald Trump' has said the U.S. is leaving soon. We have nothing to do with the Strait. We handled what needed to be handled and now it’s time to move on...
US confirms SIX American service members were killed in an Iranian drone strike on a U.S. command/operations center at Port Shuaiba in Kuwait.
He said: "I am deeply concerned by the serious escalation & renewed military confrontations in the Gulf, including the Iranian attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, the attacks by the US on Iran, and the attacks by Iran on targets in the neighboring countries."
"These attacks must all stop."
"A return to full-scale hostilities would have catastrophic consequences – for the peoples of the region, for international peace & security & for the global economy."
"I urge Iran & the US to urgently resume negotiations & to address outstanding issues through diplomacy."
So far Iran has demolished US Basse in the Gulf region:
US Fighter Jet maintenance and repair center in Qatar completely destroyed.
- US Command and Control Center in Jordan destroyed.
- US fuel depots and facilities in Jordan destroyed.
- Patriot Missle Systems in Kuwait destroyed.
- A Satellite communications antena in Qatar destroyed.
- Al Dhafra Air Base in the UAE destroyed.

US President Trump had slammed Italian PM Giorgia Meloni after she publicly sounded off, rejecting his claims that she repeatedly asked for a photo with him, calling his comments "completely made up."
Meloni said: "There is one thing he should remember: neither I nor Italy ever beg."
Donald Trump accused Meloni of wanting to be friends again after the U.S. military victory over Iran and suggesting she was trying to boost her political standing at home.
His response ended with a blunt message: "No thanks!"
“President Trump, these constant, unprovoked attacks are senseless. " As for my popularity, being your friend certainly has not helped it, nor does it depend on my relationship with you. My popularity depends on my ability to defend Italy’s national interest, and that is exactly what I have always done.
"That is also what I did regarding the American military bases in Italy. Their use is governed by agreements that we have always respected, and that cannot be violated as long as I am Prime Minister. Italy remains a sovereign nation."
'In any case, my popularity is none of your concern. I suggest you focus on yours.”
Meanwhile, Iranians are just coming out of American and Israeli war more stronger than ever. American allies refused to join the war against Tehran.
Iran's negotiating team led by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has left Tehran for Switzerland ahead of technical talks with the United States, which Pakistan says will start on Sunday. US Vice-President JD Vance is also expected to join them in Switzerland, CNN reported citing a US official.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is also part of the Iranian delegation, according to the reports by Tehran outlets.
The team also includes Central Bank Governor Abdolnaser Hemmati and Ali Bagheri Kani, the deputy for international affairs at the secretariat of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.
Kazem Gharibabadi, a deputy foreign minister, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei and Deputy Oil Minister Hamid Boord are also accompanying the delegation.
Following Israel's continuous bombing in Lebanon, Iran's Khatam al-Anbia Headquarters has announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to maritime traffic.
Tehran said the move was taken in response to what it called a U.S. violation of the war-ending memorandum of understanding, ongoing Israeli ceasefire violations, continued killings in southern Lebanon, and Israel's failure to withdraw from the area.
Lebanon health ministry confirmed over 4000 killed by Israeli attacks.
Iran described the closure as only the "first step" and warned that further measures could follow if the situation continues.
US President Trump had slammed Italian PM Giorgia Meloni after she publicly sounded off, rejecting his claims that she repeatedly asked for a photo with him, calling his comments "completely made up."
Meloni said: "There is one thing he should remember: neither I nor Italy ever beg."
Donald Trump accused Meloni of wanting to be friends again after the U.S. military victory over Iran and suggesting she was trying to boost her political standing at home.
His response ended with a blunt message: "No thanks!"
“President Trump, these constant, unprovoked attacks are senseless. " As for my popularity, being your friend certainly has not helped it, nor does it depend on my relationship with you. My popularity depends on my ability to defend Italy’s national interest, and that is exactly what I have always done.
"That is also what I did regarding the American military bases in Italy. Their use is governed by agreements that we have always respected, and that cannot be violated as long as I am Prime Minister. Italy remains a sovereign nation."
'In any case, my popularity is none of your concern. I suggest you focus on yours.”
Meanwhile, Iranians are just coming out of American and Israeli war more stronger than ever. American allies refused to join the war against Tehran.
Iran's negotiating team led by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has left Tehran for Switzerland ahead of technical talks with the United States, which Pakistan says will start on Sunday. US Vice-President JD Vance is also expected to join them in Switzerland, CNN reported citing a US official.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is also part of the Iranian delegation, according to the reports by Tehran outlets.
The team also includes Central Bank Governor Abdolnaser Hemmati and Ali Bagheri Kani, the deputy for international affairs at the secretariat of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.
Kazem Gharibabadi, a deputy foreign minister, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei and Deputy Oil Minister Hamid Boord are also accompanying the delegation.
Following Israel's continuous bombing in Lebanon, Iran's Khatam al-Anbia Headquarters has announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to maritime traffic.
Tehran said the move was taken in response to what it called a U.S. violation of the war-ending memorandum of understanding, ongoing Israeli ceasefire violations, continued killings in southern Lebanon, and Israel's failure to withdraw from the area.
Lebanon health ministry confirmed over 4000 killed by Israeli attacks.

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi as reportes by Iranian TV revealed the reasons behind the failure of the two sides to achieve any agreeable understanding in Islamabad, Pakistan.
Details:
- The U.S. tried to achieve at the negotiating table what it could not achieve through war
- The Americans demanded that Iran hand over enriched uranium and open the Strait of Hormuz without recognizing Iran’s sovereignty over it
- Iran has decided to defend its national interests by military means.
"We are disappointed with how US behaved. Netanyahu's call to Vance during the meeting shifted the focus from US-Iran negotiations to Israel's interests. The U.S. tried to achieve at the negotiating table what it could not achieve through war. We came here with good faith, the press conference by Vance before he left Pakistan was unnecessary, we are committed & prepared to safeguard our nation's interest and sovereignty"- Iran FM Seyed Abbas Araghchi.
The success of the negotiations depends on avoiding excessive and illegal demands and recognising Iran’s legitimate rights, the Iranian Foreign Ministry affirmed.
The US/Iran talks to end the war in Islamabad went through sharp swings and continued into the early hours of this morning, a Pakistani official told the Washington Post.
Trump suggested the U.S. could respond to Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz by imposing its own blockade.
The U.S. Navy could potentially assert control over maritime traffic in the strait, effectively restricting movement along this critical global oil route.
The proposal comes amid broader warnings from Trump after the collapse of talks, while Pakistan continues mediation efforts and urges both sides to maintain the ceasefire despite rising tensions around the Strait of Hormuz.
According to credible source, Iran will only allow about 10 ships per day through Strait of Hormuz for fees up to $2 million .
Tehran plans to permit no more than a dozen vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, with fees potentially as high as $2 million per supertanker, US media reported
Shipowners from several countries are said to be negotiating with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) for permission to transit the strategic waterway
The limited number of ships allowed to cross will have to follow specially designated routes and obtain the necessary permits
Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened following a two-week ceasefire announcement on Wednesday night

As the illegal war seems prolonged that President Donald Trump's quick expectations his administration is deploying most of the US inventory of stealthy JASSM-ER long-range cruise missiles for operations against Iran, Bloomberg reported, citing a person with direct knowledge of the matter.
The missiles are being drawn from stockpiles in the Pacific and other locations, including the continental United States, and moved to US Central Command bases and Fairford in the United Kingdom, the report said.
The order to pull the weapons, which cost about $1.5 million each, was issued at the end of March, according to the report.
Iranians are more that ready for a prolonged war against United States and Israel on what Terhan called unprovoked aggression.
Non of the NATO members has openly endorsed nor yielded to the calls by Donald Trump FG or their intervention as the US and Israel are been pounded by the Iranian ballistic missiles. All the warships sent to the middle east against Iran have been damaged by Iran's IRGC.
Iran has not even responded to the US offer of a 48-hour ceasefire. IRGC have devastated the US embassy in Riyadh, threatening to cut off the leg of any American caught in their country
The American offer came – probably not by chance – after the Iranians struck a warehouse on Bubiyan Island in Kuwait, which belonged to American forces
According to he Wall Street Journal: "Two drones were directed at a fortified part of the embassy in Riyadh. Explosions and a subsequent fire, which took almost the entire day to extinguish, completely destroyed three floors of the building. The CIA office was damaged, and some parts of the embassy cannot be repaired"
The military leadership in Tehran announced that its armed forces, using new air defense systems, shot down another American F-35 and three strategic drones MQ-9 and Hermes. And that they will establish full control over their airspace
Tehran Secures European Airspace Closure Via Oil Deals
Tehran has finalized secret agreements with France, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, and Spain. These nations have closed their airspace to US forces, a concession for Iran permitting oil tanker passage through the Strait of Hormuz. This diplomatic maneuver follows the confirmed downing of an F-15E and an A-10, alongside damage to a US Black Hawk helicopter during search operations for downed pilots.
This development signifies a critical fracture within the Western alliance, demonstrating Iran's capacity to leverage strategic chokepoints for geopolitical advantage. The US, facing internal military dissent and a hostage crisis, is increasingly isolated as European allies prioritize economic stability over military alignment.
Tehran exploits this fundamental drive, fragmenting the opposition and solidifying its regional strength

"Our combatants are carrying out retaliatory attacks, so we warn all employees of industrial companies in the region that have American shareholders, as well as heavy industries allied with the Zionist regime in the region, to immediately leave your workplace so that your lives are not put in danger."
'Residents of such industries should leave their place of residence within a radius of one kilometer UNTIL THE ATTACK IS OVER."
"And victory is from God, the Almighty, the Wise"
"We will retaliate against the enemy's strikes on Iranian industries."
"We warn U.S. industrial firms and heavy industries allied with 'Israel' in the region. We urge workers to evacuate immediately and demand civilians stay at least one kilometer away from these facilities."
According to Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi, Israel has earlier hit 2 of Iran's largest steel factories, a power plant and civilian nuclear sites among other infrastructure. Israel claims it acted in coordination with the U.S.
Attack contradicts POTUS extended deadline for diplomacy.
Iran will exact HEAVY price for Israeli crimes.
IRGC Aerospace Force Commander Brigadier General Majid Mousavi warned that previous #US-Israeli attacks on Iranian infrastructure were a dangerous miscalculation, saying, "You have tested us before, and the world has seen that you began playing with fire by attacking infrastructure."
He emphasized that the coming response will be far more severe than simple retaliation, stating, "This time, the equation will not be 'an eye for an eye'… just wait and see."
Mousavi also issued a direct warning to personnel in industrial companies linked to the Americans and the Zionist entity, stating that they "must evacuate their workplaces immediately for their safety."
