Macron Says US Strikes on Iran's Nuclear Program Were Effective
French President Emmanuel Macron said the US attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities had been effective.
'The US strikes had a real impact on Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow,' Macron told reporters in Brussels following a summit of European Union leaders. 'But the worst thing would be if this led to Iran withdrawing from the non-proliferation treaty, which would ultimately result in a collective drift and weakening.'

Iran Holds State Funeral for Military Commanders and Nuclear Scientists
Thousands of mourners thronged the streets of Iran's capital, Tehran, on Saturday at a funeral procession for about 60 people killed in the war with Israel, including some of the country's top military commanders and nuclear scientists. Live coverage by Iranian state television showed streets that were barren during the 12-day war now packed for the state funeral. Participants waved green, red and white Iranian flags, red banners with religious slogans or branches of white flowers. The often-heard public chants in the Islamic Republic, 'Death to America' and 'Death to Israel,' rang out as trucks with caskets in the back inched along the route between two of Tehran's main squares. From there, the caskets were expected to be transferred for burial at various cemeteries. Some of the deceased will be interred with their families. There was no sign of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, but President Masoud Pezeshkian marched in the procession. The funeral was a reminder of the heavy toll Iran had paid not only in losses from the top echelon of its military forces, but also from its contentious nuclear program. Among more than 600 people killed in the Israeli attacks, 90 of them were military personnel, according to Iranian state television. The dead included at least 11 prominent nuclear scientists. The coffins were covered in a clear wrap over an Iranian flag and scattered with rose petals. One truck held the caskets of children, according to Press TV, a state media outlet. As the dead passed, mourners reached out to kiss or touch the coffins. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Tensions have soared ahead of the protest organized by Serbia's university students, a key force behind nationwide anti-corruption demonstrations that started after a renovated rail station canopy collapsed, killing 16 people on Nov. 1.
