Following a series of Israeli attacks on its nuclear program and military, Iran launched retaliatory missile and drone strikes, leading to at least three deaths and dozens of injuries. According to Iran's U.N. ambassador, the Israeli assault, which involved warplanes and drones smuggled into the country, resulted in 78 deaths and over 320 injuries. Israel's actions were said to be a preventative measure against Iran's nuclear weapon development, even though assessments indicated that Tehran was not actively working on such weaponry. Iran's retaliation, involving waves of drones and ballistic missiles, caused widespread fear and damage in Israel. This escalation has created uncertainty about the future of U.S.-Iran nuclear talks, with Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman calling them "meaningless" after the Israeli strikes. Despite the tension, no decision has been made to cancel the talks. The strikes have raised concerns about a potential full-scale war and have prompted global calls for immediate de-escalation.
