US says it destroyed IRGC command and control facilities, IAEA statement on US attacks

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.
