EU foreign ministers to hold urgent talks on Iran Sunday: Kallas
No US casualties, 'minimal' damage from Iran retaliation: Pentagon
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said the bloc's foreign ministers would hold "extraordinary" talks on Iran on Sunday, after United States and Israeli strikes on the country sparked retaliatory attacks.
"I will convene an extraordinary Foreign Affairs Council via video link on Sunday to address Iran and the rapidly unfolding events across the Middle East," Kallas wrote on X.
"The Iranian regime's indiscriminate attacks against its neighbours carry the risk of dragging the region into a broader war, and we condemn this."
The US and Israeli attack reportedly killed more than 200 people, with Tehran launching a retaliatory missile barrage that sent people running for cover across the Middle East.
Iranian authorities urged residents to evacuate the capital, a city of 10 million, while the country's Red Crescent society said that in addition to the 201 dead, more than 700 people were wounded.
The Iranian judiciary said one attack that hit a school in the south killed 85 people, although AFP was unable to access the site in order to verify the toll.
Meanwhile, the UAE reported one civilian dead and damage from missiles in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, as blasts from Tehran's retaliatory salvo and air defences intercepting it also echoed over Israel, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan and Kuwait.
No US casualties
The US attack Saturday on Iran and that country's retaliation have caused no reported American casualties, the Pentagon said, adding that damage to US installations has been "minimal" despite a barrage of Iranian air assaults.
Following the initial US and Israeli strikes on the Islamic Republic, "CENTCOM forces successfully defended against hundreds of Iranian missile and drone attacks," the US Central Command, which launched the American operation at the orders of President Donald Trump, said in a statement.
"There have been no reports of US casualties or combat-related injuries. Damage to US installations was minimal and has not impacted operations."
