Israel Attack on Iran resulted in killing senior Irani leadership
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei stated that Israel has chosen a “bitter fate” for itself.
On Friday morning, Israel targeted “nuclear and military sites” in Iran using 200 fighter jets. In the Israeli military operation, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Mohammad Bagheri, Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Hossein Salami, and six nuclear scientists were killed.
The names of the scientists that have so far emerged in Iranian media are: Abdul Hamid Manouchehr, Ahmad Reza Zolfaghari, Seyed Amir Hossein Faqihi, Motabali Zadeh, Mohammad Mahdi Tehranchi, and Fereydoun Abbasi.
On the other hand, the Israeli military stated that in retaliation, Iran launched nearly 100 drones, all of which were destroyed before reaching their targets with the help of the United States, Jordan, and other allies.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strikes on Iran were carried out under “Operation Rising Lions.” He stated that Iran posed a threat to “Israel’s very existence,” and the strikes would continue until that threat is fully eliminated.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei stated that Israel has chosen a “bitter fate” for itself, which it will inevitably have to face.
According to Iranian media, following Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s orders, General Ahmad Vahidi has been appointed Acting Commander-in-Chief of the IRGC, while General Habibollah Sayyari has been temporarily appointed as Chief of Staff of the Iranian Army.
Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said that Israel’s heinous action against Iran is equivalent to shaking the very foundations of international law.
