AP and AFP: The chief of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and two other generals were killed in Israeli attacks on Sunday.

Renewed Israeli attacks hit Tehran and other Iranian cities for a third straight day, as Iran launches retaliatory strikes on Israel.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says the Iranian response will stop when Israel halts its attacks on Iran.

Iran says at least 224 people have been killed since Israel launched attacks. In Israel, at least 13 people have been killed.

Meanwhile, Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at lease  55,362 people and wounded 128,741, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks of October 7, 2023, and more than 200 were taken captive.

Israeli army says strikes Iran surface-to-surface missile sites

The Israeli military said early Monday that it was striking surface-to-surface missile sites in Iran, its latest move in three days of escalating conflict between the rival states.

"The IDF is currently striking surface-to-surface missile sites in central Iran," Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman Nadav Shoshani wrote on X. "We are operating against this threat in our skies and in Iranian skies."
