Irans semi official tasnim news agency, which is close to the Islamic Revolutionary guard corps, posted a video with a caption saying, isfahan s nuclear site is completely safe.

And there were also blasts in iraq in both the Capital Baghdad and babil province to the south. Israel had promised to re
Sources, both israeli and american sources, confirming this was indeed an israeli strike. Now, all weak people have been on tenterhooks waiting for some kind of response. It was made very clear by israeli officials they did not think they could let it pass. That was after an unprecedented direct attack from iran on israeli territory last weekend. It was really the form of response that was in question and when it would happen. People wondering if the state of uncertainty would continue through the upcoming jewish passover holiday, for example. We have had some ministers coming out, particularly the National Security minister, who is known as a firebrand and on the far right, he had previously been calling for israel to go crazy in its response to restore its deterrent in the region. He said this response appears to be too limited. He is the only major official we are hearing from at the moment. Others are keeping extremely quiet about all of this. ,. ,. ,. , this.

he was responding to a peace plan proposed by the us presidentjoe biden last night. hamas said it would engage with any proposals offering a permanent ceasefire and for israel to withdraw completely from gaza. vincent mcaviney reports. after almost eight months of israeli response to the 7th october attacks by hamas, gaza lays largely in ruins, with the lives of palestinians who call it home turned upside down. more than 36,000 have been killed across the region, according to the hamas run health ministry. hundreds of thousands are displaced and aid is struggling to reach them. the conflict has put the us israel relationship under immense pressure. but in a surprise move, president biden unveiled a new peace proposal and ceasefire offer from israel. i know there are those in israel who will not agree with this plan and will call for the war to continue indefinitely. some some are even in the government coalition. and they ve made it clear they want to occupy gaza. they want
