New night of attacks in Iran, where Israel killed two targets. The first is Saeed Izadi, "chief of the Palestinian division of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps" , killed in an attack on an apartment in the Iranian city of Qom, said Defense Minister Israel Katz, explaining that Izadi "financed and armed Hamas before the massacre of October 7" . Katz speaks of a "huge achievement for Israeli intelligence and the Air Force".

The IDF said it also killed the new commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) drone unit, a week after eliminating his predecessor. Amin Pour Jodkhi was accused by Israel of overseeing the launch of "hundreds" of drones toward the Jewish state from southwest Iran.

A new wave of air strikes was also launched against depots and missile launch sites in central Iran.

On the other side, sirens sounded in central Israel tonight. And explosions were heard in Tel Aviv.

Meanwhile, there are glimmers of hope in the negotiations in Geneva, with Tehran saying it is "available to continue the dialogue on nuclear power". But Donald Trump freezes the EU: "Iran does not want to talk to Europe but to us, Europe will not be able to be useful in this" .

For the tycoon, it is now "very difficult" to ask Israel to stop the attacks, because "it is winning". Trump also said that he has given Tehran two weeks as "maximum time to decide whether to negotiate or not" .
