Iran has launched a new wave of attacks against Israel, according to multiple Iranian media outlets, including state media Press TV.

The attacks include drones and missiles, which are heading toward the Israeli cities of Haifa and Tel Aviv, according to Mehr News, a semi-official Iranian news agency.

The Fordow plant is a key part of Iran’s nuclear program and a target for Israel.

In the mountain lair, hundreds of centrifuges, hidden possibly 90 meters (nearly 300 feet) underground, enrich uranium to 60%.

It has remained intact since Israel started striking Iranian nuclear sites on Friday, and analysts have told CNN it is likely that only the US has the weapons required to damage the site.

CNN’s Nick Paton Walsh explains what we know about the key site in Israel’s crosshairs:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he estimates strikes on Iran have set its nuclear program back significantly.

Israel has targeted three key Iranian nuclear facilities – Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow – and several top scientists involved in nuclear research and development. The extent of the damage is beginning to come into view, with satellite imagery and expert analysis hinting that the strikes had a significant impact on at least two of the locations.

Netanyahu also expressed optimism in Israel’s victory in the conflict with Iran, saying, “We are on our way to complete victory.”

“We are standing in front of great threat and we are eliminating it,” he said.

“We’ve achieved full control – Israel is controlling Iranian airspace,” he added.

Netanyahu also said Israel is in “full coordination” with the United States, and that he has almost daily contact with US President Donald Trump.

“I greatly appreciate the help that the US is giving us,” he said, pointing to how the US has helped intercept Iranian missiles and drones.

Trump has remained supportive of Israel but is wary of any US offensive involvement.

Netanyahu added that Trump would decide what is best for the US and that Netanyahu would “respect his will.”

“We are acting according to our plan, to eliminate these threats and each contribution will be greatly appreciated,” he said.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of attacking Iran to deliberately derail nuclear negotiations with the United States.

However, Araghchi said if US President Donald Trump “is genuine about diplomacy and interested in stopping this war, next steps are consequential.” He said it “takes one phone call from Washington to muzzle someone like Netanyahu. That may pave the way for a return to diplomacy.”

Some context: Iran told Oman and Qatar that it will not be engaging in negotiations with the United States while Iranian cities “remain under attack” from Israel, and until Tehran’s response is complete, a regional diplomat told CNN earlier on Monday.

Since April, Iranian and American officials have held five rounds of indirect talks over Iran’s nuclear program. On Saturday, Oman’s foreign minister said the sixth-round of talks had been canceled.

Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia has introduced a war powers resolution aimed at keeping United States forces from being pulled into the conflict between Israel and Iran.

The resolution is considered privileged, a special status that means Kaine can force a vote on the measure on the Senate floor, bypassing Senate GOP leadership.

If adopted, it would require explicit congressional approval of any US forces engaged in hostilities against Iran through either a declaration of war or an authorization of use of military force, unless the US faced an imminent threat of attack.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on social media that the country’s air force is currently striking surface-to-surface missile infrastructure in western Iran.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not rule out targeting Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei when asked by ABC News if Israel intended to do so.

“Look, we’re doing what we need to do,” Netanyahu replied.

He insisted that potentially eliminating the supreme leader would “end the conflict,” not escalate it.

House Speaker Mike Johnson announced in a statement on Monday that he will postpone his address to the Israeli parliament, known as the Knesset.

Amir Ohana is the speaker of the Knesset.

Israel’s air force attacked two Iranian F-14 fighter jets in Iran, Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Effie Defrin said Monday.

Following Defrin’s comments, an IDF statement elaborated that the jets were hit at an airport in Tehran.

Israel’s military also said it struck Iranian missile and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) launchers. It said it “struck and thwarted” an attempt to launch UAVs toward Israel.

The Israeli air force also attacked a launch cell in recent days, neutralizing the UAV launchers before they could fire into Israeli territory, according to the IDF statement.

In a separate statement, the Israeli military said it struck a truck in Iran on Monday which was carrying a missile launcher on the main road between Tehran and Qom. “Within a few minutes, the IAF struck the truck, and neutralized the launcher and the missiles,” it said.

Defrin also sought to reassure the Israeli hostages still being held in Gaza: “If you are hearing me, we did not forget you.”

This post has been updated with additional details from the Israeli military.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Monday that his country does not want to “expand the circle of war” with Israel but it will respond “in proportion” to any attack.

Pezeshkian made the remarks during a phone call with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday, according to Iran’s state-run news agency.

The Israeli “aggression” had killed civilians, scientists and military leaders in Iran, Pezeshkian said. “Iran did not start this war, but it will respond in proportion to the level of the attack.”

He also said Iran’s participation in nuclear talks with the United States “depends only on the cessation of the Zionist regime’s attacks on regional countries.”

Erdogan told Pezeshkian that Turkey is ready “to play a facilitating role to help de-escalate the conflict and support a return to nuclear negotiations,” according to Turkey’s state-run news agency.

The US Embassy in Jordan on Monday once again warned Americans there of potential “missiles, drones or rockets” in Jordanian airspace as Iran and Israel continue to volley attacks against each other.

It is the second day in a row that the embassy has issued such a warning. It also issued one on Friday.

The alert advises that the Jordanian government “has now activated civil defense alarms in the event of missiles, drones, or rockets entering Jordanian airspace.”

It notes that if such alarms sound, embassy personnel will be ordered to shelter in place until an all-clear is given.

“Due to high tensions in the region, the security environment remains complex and can change quickly,” the alert states. “We remind U.S. citizens of the continued need for caution and encourage them to monitor the news for breaking developments.”

The Israeli military confirmed it attacked the studio of Iran’s state television channel, IRINN, on Monday.

The Israel Defense Forces said its air force “conducted a precise strike based on intelligence provided by the Intelligence Directorate, targeting a communication center that was being used for military purposes by the Iranian Armed Forces.”

“The building was used by the Iranian Armed Forces under the guise of civilian activity, covering up the military use of the center’s infrastructure and assets. The strike directly harmed the military capabilities of the Iranian Armed Forces,” the IDF added.

Confirmation of the strike comes after explosions interrupted a live broadcast by anchor Sahar Imami.

“Prior to the strike, the IDF provided an effective advanced warning to the civilian population, including phone calls, and conducted the strike in a precise manner in order to mitigate harm to civilians as far as feasible,” the IDF said.

Earlier Monday, the IDF issued an evacuation order in Tehran’s 3rd District, where the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting has offices. IRINN is part of IRIB. In a post in Farsi on X, the IDF said it would take action in the district in the coming hours to attack the Iranian regime’s military infrastructure.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz also confirmed the military struck the studio.

“The Iranian regime’s propaganda and incitement broadcasting authority was attacked by the IDF after a large-scale evacuation of the surrounding area. We will hit the Iranian dictator everywhere,” Katz said on X.

The deadly conflict between Israel and Iran has entered its fourth day as both countries are assessing the damage caused by the latest round of strikes.

Overnight, Iranian missiles struck an Israeli oil refinery and the power grid. Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces said it destroyed about a third of Iran’s missile launchers.

Here’s what else you should know:

A senior Iranian official has told CNN that if Israel targets Iranian citizens, its response will be “very decisive this time.”

This comes after the Israeli military issued an evacuation order earlier Monday in the third district of Tehran ahead of planned strikes on what it said was military infrastructure in Iran’s capital.

The affluent and densely populated area is one of Tehran’s 22 districts and contains residential and governmental buildings including offices of the state broadcaster, Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB).

Later on Monday, Iranian state television channel IRINN — which is part of IRIB — said its studio complex was struck by Israel.

Images released after the incident on state TV showed the glass building that houses IRINN, located in the third district, on fire with its exteriors blown out.

Correction: An earlier version of this post gave the wrong number of districts in Tehran. It has 22.

The Israeli military said it has identified incoming missiles launched from Iran.

Sirens have been activated in northern Israel and civilians have been advised to seek shelter.

Defense systems are working to intercept the projectiles, the military said.

Former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has encouraged the United States to “enter into this very important operation” in Iran, telling CNN that President Donald Trump “has the option to change the Middle East and influence the world.”

Asked whether he was concerned that Iran’s underground Fordow nuclear facility remained intact, Gallant told CNN’s Bianna Golodryga: “We believe that the United States of America, and the President of the United States, has an obligation to make sure that the region is going (in) a positive way, and that the world is free from (an) Iran that possesses (a) nuclear weapon in the middle of the richest place in oil and gas in the world.”

“This could be a disaster for the world,” Gallant said of Iran gaining potential nuclear capabilities. “I believe that the determination of the American President, that has been shown recently, will pave the way to America to enter into this very important operation.”

The Fordow facility, which is buried deep underground in a mountainside near Qom in northern Iran, houses advanced centrifuges used to enrich uranium up to high grades of purity.

It has remained intact since Israel started striking Iranian nuclear sites on Friday, and analysts have told CNN it is likely that only the US has the weapons required to damage the site.

US rejects assassination plan: Trump rejected a plan by the Israelis to kill Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, one US official told CNN on Sunday. Asked whether Khamenei is a target, Gallant, who helped plan the operation against Iranian nuclear sites but has no ongoing involvement with the operation, said: “All options are on the table.”

When asked whether regime change in Iran was among Israel’s targets, Gallant said: “I’m not resisting, I’m supporting, (a) change of regime in Iran, but a lot of it has to be done by the Iranian people, and not by us or America.”

Asked whether returning Iran to the negotiating table over its nuclear capabilities would be a successful outcome of the operation, Gallant said, “there is only one way to end this war.”

“We need to destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities,” he said.

Gallant was Israel’s Defense Minister from 2022 to 2024, before Netanyahu fired him in November amid a disagreement over the objectives of Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza.

The studio complex of Iran’s state news channel IRINN was struck by Israel on Monday, according to the country’s state news agency. A loud explosion was heard as an anchor was presenting live on air, according to a live feed.

The USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group is moving to the Middle East “without delay” amid the growing conflict between Israel and Iran, a US official told CNN.

The Nimitz was already intended to replace the other strike group in the Middle East, the USS Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group. The US official said the Nimitz is moving into the region “within the time window they were supposed to be” relieving the Vinson, but will now cancel a previously scheduled port call to expedite its arrival.

Just days ago, the Nimitz was conducting routine flight operations in the South China Sea, according to a Navy release.

The Vinson is roughly seven months into its deployment. It’s unclear how long the two strike groups will overlap in the Middle East before the Vinson returns home.

The US official added that some naval assets capable of defending against ballistic missiles already in the Middle East are expected to move into the eastern Mediterranean “in the coming days.”

Two US Navy ships intercepted missiles in defense of Israel at least twice over the weekend, the official said.

President Donald Trump told reporters at the G7 summit in Canada on Monday that he believes Iran wants to de-escalate its conflict with Israel, noting that Tehran was “not winning this war.”

He continued: “They have to make a deal, and it’s painful for both parties, but I’d say Iran is not winning this war, and they should talk, and they should talk immediately, before it’s too late.”

The comments come after The Wall Street Journal reported that Iran has been “urgently signaling that it seeks an end to hostilities and resumption of talks over its nuclear programs, sending messages to Israel and the U.S. via Arab intermediaries.” The report cited Middle Eastern and European officials.

Trump issued a two-month ultimatum this spring for Iran to strike a nuclear deal or face consequences. On Friday — Day 61 — Israel launched unprecedented strikes on Iran, targeting its nuclear program and military leaders. The conflict is now entering its fourth day, with both sides exchanging blows.

Trump declined to say what, if anything, would prompt US military involvement in the conflict, telling reporters Monday, “I don’t want to talk about that.”

And he remained vague when pressed on what intelligence the US is providing Israel.

“We’ve always supported Israel. We have for a long period of time, strongly, and Israel is doing very well right now,” he said.
