Al Jazeera News Updates — US says it destroyed IRGC command and control facilities, IAEA statement on US attacks. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
Here in the Gulf, and US Central Command says its forces have destroyed the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Command and control facilities as well as Iranian missile and drone launch sites. Gulf countries have uniformly condemned the ongoing Iranian strikes across the region. Saudi Arabia says it reserves the right to retaliate after that drone strike on the US embassy in Riyadh on Tuesday. A spokesman for Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs says Gulf countries are united to counter Iran's aggression. The GCC meetings on last Sunday through conference have been held and they discussed the aggressions and they condemned the Iranian aggression against the GCC countries and the ministers confirmed
their commitment to deal together and to cooperate for the sake of stopping that aggression in order to work within the neighborhood relationship and the United Nations Charter. Meanwhile, Russia's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov has questioned the Trump administration's justification for launching an attack on Iran. Let's take a look. We repeatedly hear statements about the goals of this war. We still see no evidence that Iran was developing nuclear weapons, which was the main, if not the only, justification for the war. There is proof provided by both the IAEA and the American intelligence professionals that Iran did not manufacture and did not try to produce nuclear weapons. The International Atomic Energy Agency has released a statement on Israel and the United States attacks on Iran. It says that, based on the latest available satellite imagery,
the IAEA can now confirm some recent damage to entrance buildings of Iran's underground Natanz fuel enrichment plant. No radiological consequence expected and no additional impacts detected at the FFF itself, which was severely damaged in the June conflict. Now the United Nations refugee agency estimates at least 30,000 people are now internally displaced inside Lebanon since the Israeli attacks escalated on Monday. It's also observed a significant increase of Syrian refugees in Lebanon crossing over into Syria. Coming up in the take, with the U.S. confident after Iran's Supreme Leader was assassinated, why the Islamic Republic system is built to last. That's the take by Al Jazeera.
