**Live Updates: Iran Vows to Retaliate as Israel Strikes Nuclear Sites**

Iran has vowed to take severe action following a series of Israeli airstrikes that severely damaged its military leadership and nuclear facilities. The attacks, which began in the early hours of June 13, targeted more than 200 sites, aiming to undermine Iran’s nuclear program and military capability. Reports indicate that significant figures in Iran's military, including General Esmail Ghaani, have been killed.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu labeled the military campaign essential for preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. He declared that the operation's duration would be determined by the necessity for national security, emphasizing that Iran must face consequences for perceived aggression.

The international response has been mixed. While several European nations expressed concern over Israel's military escalation, President Trump has voiced solid support for Israel and pressed for Iran to engage in negotiations limiting its nuclear advancements. Trump warned Iran of "brutal" actions if negotiations fail, reflecting a complex interplay of regional and international dynamics.

Images from Iran depict destruction and chaos, with residents expressing outrage in the aftermath of the attacks. Meanwhile, Israelis are taking precautions as they await potential retaliatory strikes from Iran, with many advised to remain close to bomb shelters and stock supplies.

Military analysts suggest that the repercussions of these strikes could stretch across the Middle East, igniting further conflicts, particularly amidst Iran's web of proxy militias. The balance of power seems at a critical juncture, and military readiness from various nations in the region reflects the uncertain future ahead.

As tensions flare, the possibility of negotiations seems shrouded in turmoil, with Iran announcing its withdrawal from upcoming talks scheduled in Oman as diplomatic channels begin to unravel. The fragile stability of the region hangs by a thread, with the threats of retaliations looming large.
