 U.S. warplanes strike three Iranian nuclear sites in sweeping attack effort, saying the talks in Geneva “didn’t help.” Iran has consistently refused U.S. and Israeli demands that it completely halt its enrichment of uranium, which can be used for both civilian nuclear power and, at higher enrichment levels, a nuclear weapon. On June 10, Gen.

 Homes, schools, hospitals and hungry aid seekers are targeted by Israel as it forces thousands out of the enclave’s north. Israeli forces have bombarded multiple areas across the besieged Gaza Strip, killing at least 85 Palestinians, including aid seekers and families sheltering in schools, and wounding many more in attacks that have also targeted a crowded hospital. In the relentless attacks on Monday, 62 of the victims were in Gaza City and the north of the territory. The Israeli navy struck a port in Gaza City, where the military has stepped up its heavy strikes, killing at least 21 and wounding 30, many of them women and children. Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Gaza City, said the attack was in the heart of a displacement centre near the Gaza seaport. “This area serves as a refuge for many traumatised and displaced people, offering some relief from the oppressive heat of the tents,” he said. Also on Monday, Israeli forces targeted the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Hospital i...
