Iran has pulled out of nuclear talks with the United States after Israeli airstrikes on its military and nuclear sites, triggering a wave of missile attacks and raising fears of a wider regional conflict.

Earlier that day, Israel launched what it termed a "preemptive strike," targeting key nuclear facilities, senior military officials, and scientific personnel in a move that marked a sharp escalation in hostilities with Tehran.
In response, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed retaliation, declaring that the Iranian armed forces would ensure Israel “suffers greatly.” By Friday night, Iran had launched dozens of missiles toward Israeli territory.
