Pakistan announces US-Iran talks 'in coming days'

Following a reported Iranian missile strike on a local industrial council in southern Israel on Sunday, fire and smoke were seen in the area as Israel’s fire and rescue teams continued efforts to contain the blaze.

"Firefighters are working to contain the spread of the fire and cool tanks in the incident at the Ramat Hovav Council," a spokesperson for Israel's Fire and Rescue Services said in a statement.

"Due to the nature of the event and the presence of hazardous materials, the public is asked not to approach the area," the statement further said, adding that those in the vicinity should take shelter in protected buildings.

According to initial reports from Israel's national emergency medical services, there have been no confirmed casualties from the Iranian strike. However, teams were dispatched to treat several individuals who were injured while heading to protected areas, as well as others suffering from anxiety, according to the reports.

The speaker of the Iranian parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said in a statement on Sunday that Iranian forces are preparing for a U.S. ground operation despite ongoing diplomatic maneuvers.

"The enemy openly sends messages of negotiation and dialogue and secretly plans a ground attack," Ghalibaf said in a message addressed to the Iranian people on the 30th day of the war, the semi-official ILNA news agency reported Sunday.

Ghalibaf said that Tehran will continue its regional attacks, adding that the Iranian military is "waiting for the arrival of American soldiers on the ground to set fire to them and punish their regional partners forever."

"These days, we hear different words and statements from enemy officials about negotiations. America expresses its desires and announces what it has not achieved in the war as a list of 15 points and seeks them in diplomacy," Ghalibaf said.

"As long as the Americans seek Iran's surrender, your children's response to these American aspirations is clear: 'We will not accept humiliation,'" he added.

At least 3,461 people have been killed in Iran by U.S.-Israeli strikes since the war began on Feb. 28, the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) reported on Saturday.

The reported toll includes 1,551 civilians and 1,208 military personnel, while the status of 702 victims remains undetermined. According to HRANA, 236 of the victims were children.

ABC News cannot independently verify HRANA's data. However, HRANA has been reliable in counting deaths during previous rounds of unrest in Iran. HRANA says their data is collected from a combination of field reports, local contacts, medical and emergency sources, civil society networks and open-source materials -- including publicly available images, videos and official statements.

Official Iranian government channels have not been providing regular or comprehensive casualty figures from the current conflict. But the Iranian Health Ministry said on Saturday that 244 women and 231 children have been killed in the war so far, in a statement carried by the Islamic Republic News Agency.
