Cyprus president says Iran asked him to relay message to Israel

Insurance companies do not cover losses caused by wartime attacks, Ahmad Sadeghi, a member of Tehran’s city council said Sunday.

His remarks come amid widespread damage from Israeli strikes and growing concerns over the government's emergency preparedness.

Mosques, schools, and subway stations will serve as public shelters, Fatemeh Mohajerani, spokesperson for President Pezeshkian's government said Sunday as Israeli strikes continue.

The move follows growing warnings from officials about the lack of safe shelters across Iranian cities.

Tehran's crisis management chief urged residents to seek refuge in underground parking lots and reinforced areas of residential or commercial buildings, saying that the city’s crisis shelters were designed only for earthquakes—not war.

Tehran City Council head Mehdi Chamran also named ministry parking lots and high-rise basements as safer alternatives.

Iran fired 70 ballistic missiles and dozens of drones in three waves overnight, the Israeli military said.

One missile hit a home in Tamra, killing four civilians; another struck Bat Yam, killing at least six and injuring nearly 200; a third landed in Rehovot, wounding 40.

Despite the scale, the IDF said the attack remains below its reference scenario for an Iran war, which anticipates higher casualties and damage.

Newly appointed army chief Major General Amir Hatami pledged continued retaliation against Israel in a statement following his promotion.

Thanking the Supreme Leader for his trust, Hatami said Iranian forces responded from the first moments of Israel’s assault and would deliver “decisive and effective blows” to what he called the “illegitimate and child-killing Zionist regime.”
