Israel said it carried out more strikes on Iran on Monday. It targeted missile, satellite, and radar sites two days after President Trump ordered U.S. warplanes to join Israel in attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities. The strikes raised concerns of a growing conflict in the Middle East with the potential to draw in major powers.

Israeli officials and President Trump suggested the military actions could lead to the fall of Iran’s theocratic rulers. Iran’s top diplomat visited Russia seeking support from a key ally. Israel also expanded its list of targets to include sites tied directly to the regime’s domestic control.

Israel’s defence minister said the military was “attacking with unprecedented force regime targets and government repression entities in the heart of Iran.” This marked the first time Israel acknowledged striking Iranian sites linked to internal authority, not just military or nuclear ones.

The defence minister listed Evin Prison, a clock in Tehran’s Palestine Square that counts down to Israel’s destruction, and the Basij paramilitary headquarters as targets.

“For every shot fired at the Israeli home front, the Iranian dictator will be punished and the attacks will continue with full force,” the statement said.

The Israel Defence Forces also said they struck six airports across Iran to expand air superiority, hitting runways, aircraft, and underground hangars.

Iran responded by launching missiles at Israel on Monday. People rushed to bomb shelters. Missiles landed in Haifa and on a road in Ashdod.

Israel Electric Corporation said a strike near a key facility in southern Israel disrupted power to several communities.

The escalation followed U.S. B2 bombers hitting three Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend, the first direct U.S. military action after a week of Israeli strikes.

President Trump said in a Sunday address that the Fordo, Isfahan, and Natanz nuclear facilities had been “completely and totally obliterated.” General Dan Caine said initial assessments showed “extremely severe damage and destruction” and a full analysis would take time.

Trump posted online that the “spectacular military success” had taken “the ‘bomb’ right out of their hands.” But The New York Times reported the IAEA believed Iran might have moved some enriched uranium before the U.S. strikes, a claim made by Iranian officials.

At the UN Security Council, IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said “no one — including the IAEA — is in a position to assess the underground damage” at Fordo. He called for a return to diplomacy and said inspectors must go back to Iran’s nuclear sites to account for stockpiles, “including, most importantly, the 400kg enriched to 60%,” once stored at Isfahan.

Grossi warned, “We have a window of opportunity to return to dialogue and diplomacy. If that window closes, violence and destruction could reach unthinkable levels and the global non-proliferation regime as we know it could crumble and fall.”

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Face the Nation that it could take days to confirm if uranium was moved, but he doubted it. “They can’t move anything right now inside Iran. The minute a truck starts driving anywhere the Israelis have seen it, and targeted it and taken it out.”

He added, “That’s a lot of 60% enriched uranium buried deep under the ground at Isfahan. What they should do is bring it out of the ground and turn it over. Multiple countries will take it and down-blend it.”

Rubio said, “If Iran were to call right now, and say ‘we wanna meet, let’s talk about this,’ we’re prepared to do that. The president made that clear from the very beginning.”

He repeated that the strikes aimed only to stop the regime from getting a nuclear weapon. Trump had said the strikes would be the end of U.S. involvement unless Iran retaliated. But later Sunday, Trump posted, “If the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn’t there be a Regime change???”

Iran's armed forces spokesperson Ebrahim Zolfaqari said in a video that the United States attack on its nuclear base had expanded the scope of legitimate targets for Iran's military.

Zolfaqari said in English "Mr Trump, the gambler, you may start this war, but we will be the ones to end it".

After the attacks, on Monday, Trump claimed that "monumental damage was done to all nuclear sites in Iran".

"The biggest damage took place far below ground level. Bullseye!!!" he wrote on his Truth Social platform.

Trump earlier called on Iran to forgo any retaliation and said the government "must now make peace" or "future attacks would be far greater and a lot easier."

Prime Minister Netanyahu and his aides also said the strikes could lead to an uprising against Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Netanyahu called on Iranians to take to the streets.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran “reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interests, and people.” He arrived in Moscow to meet President Vladimir Putin, a longtime ally.

About 40,000 U.S. troops remained stationed across the Middle East. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said U.S. bases “have doubled their vulnerability.” The U.S. State Department issued a global alert urging Americans abroad to “exercise increased caution.”
