Iran warns US strikes will have ‘everlasting consequences’ as Trump says nuclear sites ‘obliterated’

Iran's sensitive port city of Bushehr struck by Israel, Iranian state-affiliated media says From CNN’s Mostafa Salem, Allegra Goodwin and Annoa Abekah-Mensah Explosions were heard in Iran’s southwest city of Bushehr Sunday, Iranian state-affiliated media said without indicating the exact location of the blasts. The news outlets said Israel had struck the area. CNN has reached out to the Israeli military for comment. Bushehr is home to Iran’s only functioning nuclear power plant, and the port city is close to a number of capital cities in the Gulf region, located around the Persian Gulf sea. The Fars news agency said the strikes were targeted at two locations in the city, but it did not say that the nuclear plant was targeted. Rafael Grossi, the director of the International Agency for Atomic Energy, warned last week that a direct attack on the Bushehr nuclear plant would result in “a very high release of radioactivity,” which would affect people within hundreds of kilometers of the plant. Israel and the United States have both struck Iran’s nuclear facilities over the past week. Meanwhile, in the city of Yazd in central Iran, two military areas have been hit by Israel, the state-affiliated Mehr News Agency said, citing the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), a military group in Iran.A video geolocated by CNN showed smoke billowing from the IRGC’s Shahid Sadoughi Barracks in Yazd.
