Washington, Dubai, and Jerusalem: Israel launched massive strikes against Iran on Friday, claiming that the raids were the beginning of a long-term effort to stop Tehran from developing an atomic weapon. The strikes targeted military commanders, nuclear facilities, and ballistic missile factories.
Israel proclaimed a state of emergency in preparation for retaliatory drone and missile attacks, while Iranian media and witnesses reported explosions, notably at the nation’s primary nuclear enrichment facility at Natanz.
Iran’s senior commander, Hossein Salami, was murdered, according to the country’s elite Revolutionary Guards corps, and state television said the Tehran headquarters of the force had been attacked. It reported a hit on a residential sector in the capital had killed several youngsters.
