Croatian Consul, Wife Injured in Iran Missile Attack on Tel Aviv

Croatia's consul in Israel and his wife sustained minor injuries during Iranian missile strikes on Tel Aviv, with the building where they lived being hit. Croatian Foreign Minister Gordan Grlic Radman confirmed the injuries are not life-threatening and emphasized the ministry's ongoing contact with the embassy to ensure staff safety. The attacks came in retaliation to Israel's unprecedented airstrikes on Iran, which targeted nuclear and military sites and resulted in significant casualties according to Iranian reports. Israel described its operation as a preemptive measure to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, which Iran denies, claiming its program is civilian. The missile barrages by Iran caused several civilian injuries and damage in Israel, prompting Israeli officials to warn Tehran of severe consequences. Croatian officials condemned attacks on civilians and diplomatic facilities and called for immediate de-escalation and restraint amid the escalating conflict.
