Below is a roundup of the latest developments on theIsrael-Iranconflict and the widerMiddle East crisison Saturday, June 14, 2025:

The Israeli military said on Saturday it was carrying out attacks against missile launchers on Iranian soil.

"The Air Force continues to attack dozens of surface-to-surface missile launchers in Iran," it said on its X account, sharing a video of some of the attacks.

What the targets were or whether they were hit could not be immediately verified.

Iran's state-run IRNA news agency said a hangar used for fighter jets at Mehrabad airport inTehranhas been hit by explosions but refuted earlier reports that runways at the facility had been damaged.

It said air traffic at the airport, located in the center of the Iranian capital, remained suspended.

Mehrabad airport is mostly used for domestic flights, although it also includes a military facility.

Reports earlier on Friday had spoken of flames and smoke coming from buildings at the airport, while the state-run Fars news agency posted a video on X, purportedly showing the aftermath of strikes at the facility.

Iranians are protesting against America and against Israeli strikes on their country.

While some say the conflict will destabilize the region, others hope it could be a chance for Iranians to rise up against a repressive government.

Iran has said theongoing talks with the US on Tehran's nuclear programare "meaningless" after Israel's military strikes, accusing Washington of supporting the action.

The US "acted in a way that makes dialogue meaningless. You cannot claim to negotiate and at the same time divide work by allowing the Zionist regime [Israel] to target Iran's territory," the semi-official Tasnim news agency quoted Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei as saying.

He said the Israeli attack would not have occurred unless Washington had given the go-ahead.

However, Baghaei stopped short of saying that the next round of talks, set to be held on Sunday in Oman, was canceled, according to the Mizan news agency, which is run by Iran's judiciary.

"It is still not clear what we decide about Sunday's talks," he was quoted as saying.

Washingtonhas denied it was complicit in the attacks, though US President Donald Trump said on Friday he had been informed of Israel's plans in advance and described the Israeli attacks as "excellent."

Trump has himself threatened military action against Iranif negotiations fail to bring a result.

The ongoing exchange of aerial attacks between Israel and Iran was unleashed by Israel's strikes early on Friday on a number of sensitive sites in the Islamic Republic.

Israel has said its strikes were to prevent Iran from constructing nuclear bombs in the near future.

Here is a map of the Iranian sites, including military and nuclear facilities as well as residential areas and airports, targeted by the strikes:

Jordanhas reopened its airspace on Saturday after suspending flights due to the crossfire between Israel and Iran.

The state-run Petra news agency said flights would resume at 7.30 a.m. local time (0430 GMT).

Two people have been killed in a direct missile impact on a building in the center of Israel on Saturday morning.

That's according to Eli Bin, the director general of Magen David Adom, Israel's paramedic service, who spoke with Israel's Channel 12 news.

At least 27 people were reportedly injured in the strike. The number of injured is increasing rapidly as rescue services search for people trapped under rubble.

The missile struck near homes in the central Israeli city of Rishon Lezion.

The woman had been taken on Friday to Beilinson Hospital, which has now confirmed her death, media report.

More than 60 others were injured in Friday's missile strikes on Gush Dan, according to Israel's emergency responders, Magen David Adom.

Iran has since launched a third barrage of missiles at Israel early on Saturday morning.
