Latest Update on Israel’s Offensive Against Iran

• Fresh volleys: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with his security cabinet after Iran and Israel launched more missiles and drones at each other late on Saturday night.

• More destruction: Several people were killed in Israel’s north following Iranian strikes on Saturday, with one official describing “extensive destruction.” This adds to the three people previously killed in Israel and at least 78 killed in Iran, as reported by authorities in each country.

• Energy targets: Iran said Israeli strikes targeted South Pars natural gas field – the largest in the world – and Shahran oil depot. Videos from Tehran show a large fire burning and smoke billowing in the distance.

• More to come: Netanyahu warned in a video address Saturday that Israel will “strike every target” of Iran’s regime. Iran has threatened to intensify its attacks if Israel continues hostilities.

• Failed talks: The next round of US-Iran nuclear negotiations, due to take place in Oman this weekend, has been canceled, Oman’s foreign minister has said. His Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araghchi, earlier said such talks were “unjustifiable” while Israel’s attacks continued.
