WATCH IN FULL: Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi blasts 'lawless bully' Donald Trump

'Too far!' Iran blasts 'lawless bully' Trump as Starmer's diplomacy call falls on deaf ears

Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi has blasted Donald Trump as a "lawless bully" amid calls for Tehran to show "restraint" after last night's US strikes.

Speaking at a press conference in Istanbul, Araghchi said: "He has come too far and especially to allow a lawless bully to take us back to the law of the jungle.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran calls on the Security Council to convene an emergency session to unequivocally condemn the criminal act of aggression by the United States against Iran, and to hold the administration in Washington accountable for its violations of fundamental principles of United Nations Charter and of norms of international law.

"The responsibility of the IAEA and its Director General, who, through evidence bias in favour of warmongering parties, paved the way for the current violence and bloodshed is now clearer than ever.

"We call on the IAEA Board of Governors to immediately convene and carry out its legal responsibility in response to the dangerous US attack on Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities, all of which have been under the agency's full safeguards and monitoring."

He added: "The world must not forget that it was the United States which, in the midst of a process to forge a diplomatic outcome, betrayed diplomacy by supporting the genocidal Israeli regime's launch of an illegal war of aggression on the Iranian nation.

"Not content with such malign actions, the United States itself has now also opted for a dangerous military operation and aggression against the people of Iran.

"In doing so, the US administration holds sole and full responsibility for the consequences of its actions, including the Islamic Republic of Iran's right to self-defence under the principles of the United Charter."

IRGC labels Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu members of 'criminal gang' in warning to West

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps has labelled US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu members of a "criminal gang" following last night's aerial bombardment.

In comments reported by Reuters, the IRGC said that US bases in the Middle East are a “point of vulnerability”.

It said the US had placed itself directly “at the front line of aggression” by attacking nuclear facilities that Iran claims are peaceful and adamantly claimed that its programme cannot be destroyed by an attack.

The statement added the US cannot escape consequences of its airstrikes, and said Iran would not be intimidated by Israel or the US, terming them “criminal gangs ruling the White House and Tel Aviv”.

Tehran has also maintained that it reserves "all options" in how it could respond to US-Israeli action.

In a warning this morning, Iranian foreign minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said: "The United States, a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, has committed a grave violation of the UN Charter, international law and the NPT by attacking Iran's peaceful nuclear installations.

"The events this morning are outrageous and will have everlasting consequences. Each and every member of the UN must be alarmed over this extremely dangerous, lawless and criminal behavior.

"In accordance with the UN Charter and its provisions allowing a legitimate response in self-defense, Iran reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interest, and people."

The 'unstoppable' US stealth bombers that dropped 30,000-pound 'bunker-busting' bombs in Iran attack

Donald Trump "completely obliterated" Iran's Fordow nuclear site using 12 massive 30,000-pound bunker buster bombs, US officials have confirmed.

The underground nuclear fuel enrichment facility was targeted by B-2 stealth bombers in what marks the first combat deployment of the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator.

The precision-guided weapons, designed to penetrate deeply buried targets, can reach approximately 200 feet below the surface before detonating.

US military officials suggested that Fordow was "taken off the table" following the devastating strike, with Trump hailing the strikes as a "spectacular military success".

Britain has been 'reduced to an irrelevant bystander' as America takes 'vital' action, Suella Braverman blasts

Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman has issued a scathing verdict this morning on Britain's response to the Iran-Israel conflict in recent days and weeks.

"The US takes vital, urgent action to combat one of the biggest threats to global and national security," she said.

"We should all stand with Israel and the US today - nations fighting to keep us safe.

"The UK spends weeks criticising Israel, urges 'de-escalation' and 'calm', equivocates and puts out stupid videos of the Prime Minister around the world trying to look important.

"The truth is that the UK should have been standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Israel and assisting the US but instead has been reduced to an irrelevant bystander on this historic step that will keep us all safer."

'Iran is sure to respond' says top analyst as world braces for new 'dangerous phase'

Iran "is sure to respond" to the US strikes overnight, Gregory Brew, a senior analyst at the Eurasia Group political risk consultancy firm, has warned.

He said the US "has very likely used enough force to significantly damage, if not destroy, the enrichment facility" at Fordow - but "we likely won't know for quite some time".

"It's possible we may never know, as that will be a big part of Iran's response," he added.

Brew continued: "Iran is sure to respond to this attack. To do nothing would be a colossal blow to the regime's credibility. There will be a short-term response. But the bigger response, the more significant one, is likely to play out on the nuclear file."

Tehran could now move to exit the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, of which it has been signed up to since 1970, he said.

"That's probably the end of nuclear diplomacy for a while. There goes hope for sanctions relief. It also likely means the programme could pursue weaponisation, away from IAEA observation. It won't be public. We won't know for sure.

"That means the issue of Iran's nuclear programme could now be slowly entering a much more dangerous phase."

EU echoes Keir Starmer as Brussels issues statement on Iran bombing

Iran claims to have moved both staff and uranium from Fordow nuclear site before US strikes

Iran has claimed it moved most of its staff and "highly enriched" uranium from the Fordow nuclear site before the American bombing raids.

A senior Iranian source told Reuters that the uranium - crucial in nuclear power and weaponry - was shifted to an undisclosed location before the strikes.

Staff headcounts were reduced to a minium, the source said.

Uranium-235, a highly enriched form of the element, was the isotope used in both the Hiroshima atomic bomb and the Chernobyl nuclear power station.

Iran wreaks 'significant damage' on Tel Aviv after launching volley of 'cluster bombs' at Israel

Iran has wreaked "very significant damage" on buildings in the centre of Tel Aviv, Israeli medical services have said.

Sixteen people are confirmed to have been injured in this morning's ballistic missile strikes on the Jewish state - with ominous reports suggesting the latest round of rockets carried warheads packed with cluster munitions.

Cluster bombs release numerous smaller "bomblets" over a wide area once they strike - and pose serious risks to civilians both during and after attacks.

Keir Starmer's calls for restraint were 'dangerously naive', ex-Defence Secretary says

Former Defence Secretary Grant Shapps has labelled the Prime Minister's calls for restraint in Iran and the Middle East "dangerously naive" as he welcomed the overnight US bombing raids.

"I don't often agree with Trump, but destroying Iran's nuclear sites was absolutely the right call," Shapps said.

"The IRGC wants Israel wiped off the map. Tehran arms Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis and militias. Iran fuels Middle East chaos.

"Starmer's calls for 'restraint' were dangerously naive."

RECAP: Keir Starmer's words on Donald Trump at G7 summit

Sir Keir Starmer said at the G7 summit just days ago: "The end we want to see is the de-escalation and back to negotiations... a deal to deal with the Iranian nuclear programme, and, of course, the wider question of conflict across the Middle East, including Gaza.

"Throughout the dinner yesterday I was sitting right next to President Trump, so I've no doubt, in my mind, the level of agreement there was in relation to the words that were then issued immediately after that, pretty soon after the dinner."

Despite Trump's social media posts over the past days and weeks, Starmer had said: "There is nothing the President said that suggests he's about to get involved in this conflict... on the contrary, the G7 statement was about de-escalation."
