WASHINGTON / TEHERAN / ISLAMABAD - Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said Sunday that the US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities were "outrageous" and "will have everlasting consequences."

Teheran "reserves all options" to retaliate, said the minister.

Meanwhile, ballistic missiles fired from Iran into central and northern Israel on Sunday morning wounded 26 people, two of whom in moderate condition, Israel's national emergency service Magen David Adom reported.

The Israeli police said that the strike, including two barrages of a total of about 30 missiles, directly hit the cities of Tel Aviv and Ness Ziona in central Israel and Haifa in the north, causing heavy damage to residential buildings, roads and vehicles.

It was the first missile strike from Iran towards Israel after a pause of around 29 hours, and the first since the United States bombed Iran's nuclear facilities.

Shortly after the Iranian attack, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that its air force struck and destroyed the missile launchers in Iran that carried out the latest strike targeting Israel.

Hours before the missile strike and following the US bombing, Israel closed its airspace in an apparent precautionary measure, the Israel Airports Authority announced.

The IDF's Home Front Command also announced additional emergency rules for the public, including bans on educational activities, gatherings and workplaces, except for essential sectors.

'No signs of contamination'

The Iranian state media reported that there were "no signs of contamination" at the nuclear sites at Esfahan, Fordo and Natanz after US airstrikes, quoting a statement from the country's National Nuclear Safety System Center.

"There is no danger to the residents living around the aforementioned sites," the statement said.

US President Donald Trump said Saturday that Iran will face more military strikes if peace does not come quickly.

Addressing the nation Saturday evening, Trump said that Iran's key nuclear facilities had been "completely and totally obliterated," and that future attacks will be "far greater and a lot easier."

"If peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill. Most of them can be taken out in a matter of minutes," he said.

Trump said that he decided a long time ago not to let Iran gain a nuclear weapon and that without peace, there will be "tragedy" for Iran that will far exceed what's taken place.

Iran's state-run IRNA news agency acknowledged attacks on the country's nuclear facilities.

Iran had evacuated these three nuclear sites "a while ago," said Hassan Abedini, deputy political director of Iran's state broadcaster, adding that Iran "didn't suffer a major blow because the materials had already been taken out."

Iran's Atomic Energy Organization confirmed the US attacks, but said its work will not be stopped.

"The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran assures the great Iranian nation that despite the evil conspiracies of its enemies, with the efforts of thousands of its revolutionary and motivated scientists and experts, it will not allow the development of this national industry, which is the result of the blood of nuclear martyrs, to be stopped," the agency said in a statement issued after Trump announced the US attacks.

The organization also confirmed that Iran's nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan were attacked again early Sunday, following Trump's remarks that the US military had struck three nuclear targets.

"Necessary measures, including legal procedures, are on the agenda to defend the country's rights," said the organization.

It condemned the attacks as a violation of international law, particularly the Non-Proliferation Treaty, calling on the international community to denounce the strikes and support Iran's pursuit of its legal rights.

The Saudi Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Commission has confirmed that no radioactive traces have been detected in the environment of the country or other Arab Gulf states following the US military strikes.

In a post on its official X account, the Saudi nuclear body said that continuous monitoring has shown no signs of radiological impact on the region's environment.

In its strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, the United States used the GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator bomb, known as the "bunker buster," local media quoted two sources familiar with the operation.

B-2 bombers are the only aircraft capable of carrying the bombs, said the report.

Trump and his team were in touch with top congressional Republicans before the strikes, but did not brief top Democrats on his plans until after the bombs had been dropped, the report added.

The attacks marked a historic escalation in the Middle East. It may provoke retaliation from Teheran against US troops and military installations across the region, said the report.

'A dangerous escalation'

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Saturday that US strikes on Iran's nuclear sites are "a dangerous escalation" and "a direct threat to international peace and security."

"I am gravely alarmed by the use of force by the United States against Iran today. This is a dangerous escalation in a region already on the edge -- and a direct threat to international peace and security," said Guterres in a statement.

There is a growing risk that this conflict could rapidly get out of control -- with catastrophic consequences for civilians, the region and the world, he said.

Guterres called on UN member states to uphold their obligations under the UN Charter and other rules of international law.

"At this perilous hour, it is critical to avoid a spiral of chaos. There is no military solution. The only path forward is diplomacy. The only hope is peace," he said.

A senior official from Yemen's Houthi group said in a social media post early Sunday that it would hold Trump responsible for the attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities.

"Trump must bear the consequences," Houthi political bureau member Hizam al-Assad posted on X.

Prior to the US attacks, the Houthi group said in a statement that it would target US ships if Washington attacks Iran.

"If America is involved in the attack and aggression against Iran ... the armed forces (Houthi forces) will target its ships and battleships in the Red Sea," Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea said in the statement, aired by Houthi-run al-Masirah TV.

For his part, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated Trump on Sunday after the US attacks, calling it a "bold decision to target Iran's nuclear facilities."

Trump had created a "pivot of history," he added.

Pakistan condemns US attacks

Pakistan on Sunday condemned the US attacks on three Iranian nuclear facilities, showing grave concerns at the possible further escalation of tensions in the region.

"The unprecedented escalation of tension and violence, owing to ongoing aggression against Iran, is deeply disturbing. Any further escalation of tensions will have severely damaging implications for the region and beyond," the Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

The US air raids on Iran came on the ninth day after Israel launched attacks on Iran on June 13, killing several senior commanders, nuclear scientists and civilians.

Iran retaliated with missile and drone attacks. As of Saturday, more than 400 Iranians have been killed and over 3,000 wounded, according to Iran's Health Ministry. In Israel, 24 civilians were killed by Iranian missile strikes, according to local authorities.
