Iran-Israel war: Sirens sounded in Jordan, central Israel

At an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council called by Iran and held in the very early hours of Monday (India time) — to discuss Sunday's US strikes on the three Iranian nuclear facilities of Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz — acting US ambassador Dorothy Shear reiterated President Donald Trump's warning that “any Iranian attack — direct or indirect — against Americans or American bases will be met with devastating retaliation”.

She also said the US acted in defence of Israeli and American citizens to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon after it “obfuscated” about its nuclear weapons programme and “stonewalled good-faith efforts in recent negotiations”, urging the UNSC to call on Iran to end its 47-year effort to eradicate Israel, terminate its nuclear programme, stop targeting Americans and US interests and “negotiate peace in good faith".

Meanwhile, Trump on Sunday seemed to suggest that if Iran’s current regime can’t “Make Iran Great Again”, a regime change might be inevitable, though he had earlier negated that possibility. “It’s not politically correct to say ‘Regime Change,’ but if they can’t do it—why not? MIGA!!!” he posted on his Truth Social handle.

Iranian Gen. Abdolrahim Mousavi, the chief of joint staff of armed forces, warned the US on Monday that its strikes gave a "free hand" to Iranian armed forces to “act against US interests and its army”.

Mousavi stressed Iran would not hesitate to do so after the US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites on Sunday. He described the American attacks as violating Iran's sovereignty, entering the Israeli war on the country and being tantamount to invading the country.
