The war that began with Israel's "Rising Lion" attack on June 13 and Iran's retaliation named "True Promise" has entered its 7th day.
THE TOLL IS INCREASING EVERY HOUR
At least 224 people, including high-ranking military officials such as Iranian Chief of General Staff Bakiri and Commander of the Revolutionary Guards Selami, have died in Israel's attacks. Iran, in its retaliation, launched hundreds of ballistic and hypersonic missiles, targeting Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Haifa, in addition to drones (UAVs). Due to missiles that surpassed Israel's air defense system "Iron Dome," at least 24 people have lost their lives in Israel.
The Israel-Iran war continues with full intensity on its 7th day. In the early hours, the Iranian army retaliated against Israel, targeting the Arak Nuclear Facility, hitting almost every point in the country with missiles.
The Iranian army announced that the main target of the attack was the "Command and Intelligence (IDF C4I) Headquarters and Military Intelligence Camp," and struck Soroka hospital and the Israeli stock exchange with ballistic missiles.
The Iranian army's ballistic missile attack on Tel Aviv was captured second by second by mobile phone cameras, resulting in 3 fatalities and at least 50 injuries.
On the other hand, a detail regarding the missiles used by the Iranian army to strike Israel has garnered significant attention. It was observed that Iran had inscribed the images of Yahya Sinwar and Hasan Nasrallah on the missiles.
A SECRET BRIEFING WILL BE HELD IN THE U.S. SENATE
Following the escalation of tensions between Israel and Iran, the U.S. Senate has also taken action. According to an aide to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a secret briefing on Iran will be held with the participation of all senators at the beginning of next week. The exact date and time of the briefing have not yet been finalized.
In the closed session, Pentagon officials, representatives from the State Department, and senior officials from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) are expected to provide information to the senators. The focus of the agenda is anticipated to include Iran's uranium enrichment activities, recent conflicts between Israel and Iran, threats to U.S. bases, and a detailed overview of Tehran's diplomatic position.
ERAKCHI: WE CONTINUE OUR COMMITMENT TO DIPLOMACY
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Erakchi stated that his country will continue to exercise its right to legitimate defense against Israel's aggression, saying, "We maintain our commitment to diplomacy, except for the illegitimate, genocidal, and occupying Israeli regime."
In a message shared on his X social media account, Erakchi published a graph showing that Israel is the only country in the region with nuclear weapons. He claimed that Iran has only retaliated against Israel within the scope of its legitimate right to defense and has not targeted those who have "aided and abetted" Tel Aviv so far, stating:
"Just as Netanyahu produced this war to destroy diplomacy, the world should be quite concerned about the increasing attempts of the failing Israeli regime to spread flames to the region and beyond."
Erakchi emphasized that "his country has no intention of acquiring nuclear weapons," while pointing out that Israel is the only country in the region with nuclear weapons. He stated, "We continue our commitment to diplomacy, except for the illegitimate, genocidal, and occupying Israeli regime. Our perspective remains serious and forward-looking, as it has been before."
EVACUATIONS HAVE BEGUN FROM THE U.S. EMBASSY IN ISRAEL
It has been reported that some diplomats with "non-critical duties" have begun to be evacuated from the U.S. Embassy in Israel. While Israel's attacks on Iran continue, U.S. officials, speaking to the Associated Press (AP) on condition of anonymity, provided information regarding the evacuation process from Israel.
Officials stated that some diplomats and their families serving in "non-critical" roles at the U.S. Embassy in Israel have been evacuated.
These evacuations occurred shortly after U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee announced that efforts were ongoing in this regard, although officials did not share information on how many people were evacuated.
Huckabee had indicated during the day that evacuation efforts were underway for U.S. citizens wishing to leave Israel following Iran's missile attacks.
Additionally, a report in Israel Hayom stated that for the first time since the conflict with Iran began, foreigners and diplomats would be allowed to leave the country on Friday, June 20.
CLAIM: "TRUMP APPROVED ATTACK PLANS"

It was noted that Trump had not yet given the final order to see whether Iran would abandon its nuclear program.
NEW MISSILE ATTACK FROM IRAN ON ISRAEL
