This is not a "One and Done" military strike. Looks like Israel is going to make sure Iran's nuclear enrichment capabilities are eliminated. If so, they are doing the world a favor.

Associated Press:
Israel has launched a second wave of airstrikes targeting Iranian cities, with reports confirming explosions in Shiraz, Kermanshah and Tabriz on June 13, according to Rokna and Nour News.
The attacks, occurring around 11:00 AM CET, are part of an escalating conflict between the two nations following a first wave of attacks in the early morning which killed several top commanders in Tehran and elsewhere.
Rokna reported multiple explosions in Tabriz, with one person on the street describing a “huge amount of smoke” rising from the Tabriz Fakouri air base after several missiles struck the site.
Another person in Tabriz noted hearing “several and several explosions” over the past two hours, indicating intense bombardment.
Secondary comments also mentioned explosions at a ballistic missile facility near Tabriz, suggesting significant damage to military infrastructure.
In Shiraz, ongoing Israeli airstrikes were reported alongside those in Tabriz, though specific details on targets or damage in Shiraz were limited.
The strikes are part of a broader Israeli operation targeting Iranian military and nuclear sites, as reported across multiple cities, including Tehran and Qom.
Iranian state media have not yet provided detailed accounts of the damage in Shiraz or Tabriz, but posts on X indicate panic and disruption in affected areas.

MY TAKE: Instead of spending hundreds of $billions on nuclear enrichment, which Trump told them many times would not be allowed, they should have spent money on air defense. So far, I have not heard of any of Israel's jets being shot down.

Re: Israel's attacks on Iran will continue - June 13
Iran no longer plans to engage in nuclear talks with the U.S. that were scheduled to take place in Oman on Sunday, Iranian leaders announced Friday after Israel launched deadly airstrikes it said targeted Tehran’s nuclear facilities and military sites.
Oman News Agency and Iranian state media reported the talks have been suspended indefinitely.
“Israel’s unilateral attack on Iran is illegal, unjustifiable and a grave threat to regional stability,” Oman Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi posted on the social platform X after the attacks. “I condemn it and urge the global community to come together to reject Israeli aggression and support de-escalation and diplomacy with one voice.”
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, meanwhile, vowed retribution against its long-standing adversary Israel.
“With this crime, the Zionist regime has set itself up for a bitter and painful fate, and it will receive it,” he said in remarks released through state media.
President Trump and his administration have been working for weeks to reach a deal with Tehran on a nuclear agreement.
The meeting Sunday would have been the sixth round of high-level talks since April, as the U.S. and Iran try to hash out an agreement to replace the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action that Trump withdrew the U.S. from during his first term.
Trump continued to urge Iran to enter the latest round of negotiations with serious intentions of striking a deal, despite Israel’s surprise attack.
“There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire.”
“No more death, no more destruction, JUST DO IT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE,” he added, noting Iranian hard-liners who had resisted an agreement “are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse.”
Trump has repeatedly stressed that a nuclear deal will not allow Iran to enrich uranium into a weapons-grade material, though the country has stood by its stated aim of “peaceful” enrichment that will be “mutually beneficial.”

Netanyahu calling on the Iranian people to rise up and get rid of the Supreme Leader. If they do, Iran can become one of the most successful and prosperous countries on Earth.
