The California Governor’s Emergency Services announced that 14 people died as a result of the severe storm and flooding that hit the US state of California. The highway was closed in both directions due to a landslide caused by heavy rains in Santa Cruz, and a highway bridge over the river collapsed. According to the fire department’s statement, 18 people who were stranded as a result of the Ventura River flooding were rescued.
Heavy rains are expected to continue today and tomorrow in California, where 140,000 homes and businesses are without power.
Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian warned that Israel would “regret” its attack on Iran, following massive Israeli airstrikes on key military and nuclear sites. “The Zionist regime will regret its action today,” Pezeshkian said, adding that a special cabinet meeting was immediately convened in response to the strikes.
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi submitted a formal letter to the United Nations, condemning the attacks as violations of international law and describing them as “state-sponsored terrorism.” He stated, “Israel has now crossed all red lines,” calling the strikes war crimes under the Geneva Conventions.
Arakchi also emphasized the risk of a radiological disaster at the Natanz Nuclear Facility and demanded an emergency UN Security Council meeting, warning that Iran will respond in a “determined and proportionate” manner.
