Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi is preparing to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying he expected their conversation to “be in the interests of both countries”. Araghchi said late on Sunday night that he would have “serious and important discussions” with Putin in Moscow.

Israel's Defense Ministry says its forces hit more Iranian government targets Monday in Tehran, including the notorious Evin Prison.

An audio recording obtained exclusively by The Washington Post is a window into the covert campaign by Israeli intelligence to intimidate Iranian military officials.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the bombing campaign aimed to end the threats from Tehran’s nuclear program and ballistic missiles. He did not give a timetable for stopping the strikes.

Israel struck Evin prison in northern Tehran, a potent symbol of Iran's governing system, in what Israel called its most intense bombing yet of the Iranian capital a day after the United States joined the war.
