The threat from Iran to strike ships or aircraft carrying military aid to Israel
The Iranian Armed Forces threatened on Saturday to strike shipments of military aid to Israel. In a video broadcast on state television, an Iranian military spokesman stated, "We warn that any country transporting any military equipment or radar to the Zionist regime by ship or aircraft will be considered as participating in an aggression against Iran and will become a legitimate target for the armed forces."
According to other reports from Iranian media, on the 21st, Israel attacked a military base south of Tehran. AFP correspondents reported that they heard explosion sounds coming from central and northern Tehran on the 21st.
In a video statement on June 21, Houthi spokesman Yahya Sari said that if the United States joins its enemies in attacking and aggressing Iran, the Houthis will target their ships and warships in the Red Sea.
Sari stated in the video, "Israel is attempting, with obvious U.S. support and participation, to completely control the region [...] and attempts to eliminate the Islamic Republic of Iran because it believes Iran is the greatest obstacle to achieving its plans."
On the same day, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that the centrifuge production facility at the Isfahan (Ispahan) nuclear complex in central Iran, which was used for uranium enrichment, had been subjected to an "attack," but there were "no radiation consequences."
The Israeli military stated that they also targeted "missile storage and launch sites" in central Iran, as well as military infrastructure in the southwestern part of the country. According to the Iranian daily newspaper Shargh, in this oil-rich region, there were several "loud explosions" heard in Ahvaz.
According to the latest report released by the Iranian Ministry of Health on Saturday, since June 13, Israel's attacks have resulted in more than 400 deaths and 3,056 injuries, most of whom are civilians. The U.S.-based non-governmental organization Human Rights Activist News Agency (HRANA) reported that at least 657 people have died.
Meanwhile, Iran's artillery fire on Israel has caused 25 deaths.
According to the Iranian news agency IRNA, a teenager was killed in Qom (central Iran) during an Israeli air raid. According to the Iranian Student News Agency, four members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard were killed when their camp in Tabriz (northwest) was attacked.
According to AFP reports, patients injured in Israeli air raids are being treated at Rassoul Akram Hospital in Tehran. Additionally, the Israeli side claimed that they had killed three commanders in the air strikes. They are: Jaddaki, commander of the second UAV brigade of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Air Force; Behnam Sharifian, head of arms transfer for the Quds Force; and military commander and leader of the Palestine Army of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Quds Force, Issaadi.
Israeli officers also stated that the ninth round of air strikes aimed to destroy Iran's uranium enrichment capability.
