Iranian authorities reported over 224 fatalities and more than 1,270 hospitalizations since the conflict began. Iranian media and international outlets, including The New York Times, described widespread panic in Tehran, with traffic jams on highways out of the capital, long lines at gas stations, and reports that the regime\u2019s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his family had been moved to an underground shelter. Meanwhile, Iran launched its most intense barrage yet, targeting Israeli infrastructure including the Nevatim airbase near Tel Aviv, Haifa\u2019s ammonia plant, and power stations<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iran&#8217;s Foreign Ministry confirmed that its main building had been struck, injuring staff members. The deaths of IRGC Intelligence Chief Mohammad Kazemi and his deputy were confirmed following Israeli strikes. Despite international efforts, Iran has told Qatari and Omani mediators it refuses ceasefire talks while under attack. The Israeli military asserts many strategic Iranian targets remain, and U.S. forces in Iraq and the Gulf have intercepted suspected drones near their bases. Amid growing regional instability, Swiss diplomats have closed their Tehran embassy until further notice.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iran\u2019s Regime Cancels Nuclear Talks with United States<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-323202 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/iran-abbas-araghchi-regime-proposed-foreign-minister-300x170.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/iran-abbas-araghchi-regime-proposed-foreign-minister-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/iran-abbas-araghchi-regime-proposed-foreign-minister-768x436.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/iran-abbas-araghchi-regime-proposed-foreign-minister-739x420.jpg 739w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/iran-abbas-araghchi-regime-proposed-foreign-minister-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/iran-abbas-araghchi-regime-proposed-foreign-minister-696x395.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/iran-abbas-araghchi-regime-proposed-foreign-minister.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While the mullahs\u2019 regime had recently announced plans for a sixth round of negotiations with the United States on Sunday, June 15, in Muscat, the capital of Oman, on Saturday, June 14, amidst widespread and heavy clashes and attacks on Tel Aviv, Tehran, and other locations in Israel and Iran, Esmail Baghaei, the regime\u2019s Foreign Ministry spokesman, announced: \u201cSunday\u2019s negotiations in Muscat with the American side have been canceled.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The state-run Mehr News Agency, while reporting this news on June 14, wrote: \u201cBaghaei said that the United States, despite all its claims about dialogue and diplomacy, has colluded in targeting nuclear facilities.
