Iran’s retaliatory attacks continue, ‘aircraft infiltration’ activates sirens in Israel

TEHRAN/TEL AVIV: Israeli military has said that sirens have been activated in northern Israel due to ‘hostile aircraft infiltration’. The move comes as part of renewed activity between Iran and Israel, after they launched fresh attacks against each other late on Saturday, continuing into Sunday.

Meanwhile, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi has announced to limit cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

He said that the IAEA remained silent on Israel’s attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities, which is a cause for serious concern.

He also said that Iran will take special measures to protect its nuclear materials and equipment, but the IAEA will not be informed in advance about these measures.

He made it clear that Iran will take all possible measures to protect its sovereignty and nuclear security and trust cannot be one-sided now.
