Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has condemned US airstrikes on three nuclear facilities, calling them a "grave crime" by the "Zionist enemy" and vowing harsh retaliation. “It must be punished and it is being punished,” he warned. Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said the US “must receive a response.” The attacks involved 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs, marking the most severe US military action since Iran’s 1979 revolution. At the UN Security Council, Iran accused the US and Israel of sabotaging diplomacy. UN Secretary-General António Guterres urged an immediate return to negotiations on Iran’s nuclear programme, warning of a “perilous turn.” (PC: India Today)
