(NewsNation) — Israel and Iran traded another round of rocket attacks in their escalating conflict, and officials said at least one person was killed in the Israeli town of Tamra after a missile hit a building.

In Tehran, meanwhile, a fire raged at an oil depot that Iran says was targeted by Israel.

The latest destruction came after Israel launched an expanded assault on Iran Sunday. Direct strikes targeted Iran’s energy industry and Defense Ministry headquarters.

Earlier, Israeli emergency officials said four people were killed in an apartment building in the Galilee region. Casualty figures weren’t immediately available in Iran, where Israel targeted its Defense Ministry headquarters in Tehran as well as sites that it alleged were associated with the country’s nuclear program.

Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard claimed that Iranian missiles targeted fuel production facilities for Israeli fighter jets, something not acknowledged by Israel.

‘Tehran will burn’ if attacks continue: Israel’s Defense Minister

Israel’s Defense Minister, Israel Katz, warned Saturday that Iran will pay a price for hurting Israeli citizens in retaliatory strikes. Katz said “Tehran will burn” if it keeps firing missiles at Israel.

“If (Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali) Khamenei continues to fire missiles at the Israeli home front — Tehran will burn,” Katz said.

Late Saturday afternoon, Katz said on social media, “Tehran is burning,” and Iranian state television said explosions were heard in the city’s east and west.

Israel’s ongoing strikes across Iran have left the country’s surviving leadership with the difficult decision of whether to plunge deeper into conflict with Israel’s more powerful forces or seek a diplomatic route.

Iran’s retaliatory attacks on Israel

Iran launched retaliatory missile strikes on Israel overnight into Saturday morning, killing at least three people and leaving dozens injured. Israeli military officials said it conducted a wave of overnight strikes that carried “operational and national significance” in Tehran.

Israel’s military said its fighter jets are “set to resume striking targets in Tehran” on Saturday. This follows Israel’s assault Thursday night on Iran’s nuclear and military sites that used warplanes and drones smuggled into Iran.

The attack targeted senior military officials and nuclear scientists in Iran, but Iran’s U.N. Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani said the “overwhelming majority” of the 78 people killed were civilians.

Late Saturday afternoon, millions of Israelis were forced to shelter amid airstrikes from Iran.

At the time, Iran said on X: “As you read this, we are systematically dismantling the Zionist regime’s capacity to commit genocide and orchestrate terror across West Asia and throughout the world.”

US-Iran talks

President Donald Trump met with his national security team Friday in the Situation Room, and the U.S. is shifting military assets in the region following Israel’s “Operation Rising Lion” assault Thursday.

Trump responded to Israel’s strikes on Iran, calling on Tehran to reach a deal to avoid further escalation. “Iran must reach a deal. Just do it, before it’s too late,” the president warned in a social media post Friday.

Iran has withdrawn from nuclear negotiations with the United States. On Saturday, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman called nuclear talks with the U.S. “meaningless,” state television reported. 

“The U.S. did a job that made the talks become meaningless,” spokesman Esmail Baghaei said. He stopped short of saying any further negotiations were called off. 

According to an Egyptian presidency statement, both Egypt and Turkey are calling for a halt to military operations and for nuclear talks between the U.S. and Iran to continue. The leaders in Egypt and Turkey said Israel’s approach risks catapulting the Middle East into “full-fledged chaos.”

Oman’s foreign minister confirmed the talks “will not now take place” after Iran’s foreign minister said any negotiations would be “unjustifiable.”

In a birthday message to Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked the president for his “clear support” and added that “our victory will be your victory.”

Trump also discussed the attacks between Israel and Iran with Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to Putin aide Yuri Ushakov, Putin and Trump had a 50-minute phone conversation Saturday about tensions in the Middle East.

Why did Israel attack Iran’s nuclear and military sites

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel launched “Operation Rising Lion” late Thursday to “roll back the Iranian threat to Israel’s very survival.” The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said the strikes were intended to hit Iran’s nuclear program. 

“Iran is closer than ever to obtaining a nuclear weapon. Weapons of mass destruction in the hands of the Iranian regime are an existential threat to the State of Israel and to the wider world,” the IDF said, in part. According to reports, experts have assessed that Tehran was not actively working on an atomic weapon before the Israeli strikes. 

U.N. nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, confirmed in a social media post that the Isfahan nuclear site in Iran was targeted multiple times during Israel’s assault. The agency said, “no increase in off-site radiation levels has been reported as of now.” 

On Thursday, the Board of Governors at the International Atomic Energy Agency, for the first time in 20 years, censured Iran for not working with its inspectors. Iran immediately announced it would establish a third enrichment site in the country and swap out some centrifuges for more advanced ones.

Leaders around the world have called for immediate de-escalation from both Israel and Iran. 

Britain moving military assets to Middle East for security support

Britain on Saturday announced it would be moving additional military assets to the Middle East to provide support for the region.

Britain already has fighter jets in the Middle East as part of an operation to counter threats in Iraq and Syria.

Further refuelling aircraft from British bases have also been deployed.
