"In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Great nation of Iran! The Zionist regime opened its dirty and bloody hand to a crime in our beloved country this morning and revealed its evil nature by striking residential centres more than ever before. The regime must expect severe punishment. The powerful hand of the Islamic Republic’s armed forces will not abandon it, God willing. Several commanders and scientists were martyred in the enemy attacks. Their successors and colleagues will immediately resume their duties, God willing. With this crime, the Zionist regime prepared a bitter and painful fate for itself and will definitely receive it."

Israel's strike on Iran is "taking aim at sabotaging diplomacy", said Negar Mortazavi, Senior Fellow at the Center for International Policy in an interview with Reuters. (1527-IRAN-NUCLEAR/USA-ANALYST)

52. (SOUNDBITE) (English) HOST OF THE IRAN PODCAST AND A SENIOR FELLOW AT THE CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL POLICY (CIP), NEGAR MORTAZAVI, SAYING:

“Well, the Iranians don't have a lot of good options in front of them. If they don't retaliate against this, the fear in Iran is that they're going to hit even harder and more by the Israelis. So not retaliating would embolden the Israelis. At the same time, they do realise that this is a bait by the Israelis because the main thing that they have been trying to stop is diplomacy between the U.S. and Iran.”

In a post on Truth Social on Thursday (June 12) afternoon before Israel's strikes, U.S. President Donald Trump said the U.S. remains "committed to a Diplomatic Resolution to the Iran nuclear issue". (1540-IRAN-NUCLEAR/USA-TRUMP)

Let me be clear: Iran should not target U.S. interests or personnel.”
