🇮🇱🇮🇷 ISRAEL UNPRECEDENTED STRIKES AT HEART OF IRAN'S NUCLEAR... PROGRAM Israel launched a massive and coordinated assault on Iran targeting the country’s nuclear infrastructure and military leadership on a scale not seen before in the region’s modern history. In response, Iran fired over 100 drones toward Israeli territory, sparking fears of a wider and prolonged regional war. THE STRIKES Israel deployed 200 fighter jets and dropped more than 330 munitions on over 100 targets across Iran, including nuclear facilities and strategic military sites. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) described the assault as ongoing, with one military source telling CNN: “This is not a one-day attack.” KEY TARGETS Strikes focused on Iran’s long-range missile infrastructure, nuclear research labs, and critical uranium enrichment sites. The Natanz nuclear facility - central to Iran’s enrichment efforts - was among the sites hit. According to the UN nuclear watchdog, no radiation spike has been detected. A separate strike in Isfahan destroyed metallic uranium production infrastructure used in the final steps of nuclear weaponization. COMMANDERS AND SCIENTISTS KILLED Iranian state media confirmed the deaths of several top officials, including: General Hossein Salami, commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Major General Mohammad Bagheri, Iran’s highest-ranking military officer Ali Shamkhani, Iran’s former national security chief Israeli sources also claim senior nuclear scientists were targeted, though their status remains unconfirmed. IRAN’S RESPONSE More is expected, but so far Tehran retaliated by launching over 100 drones at Israel. Sirens were activated across the country, and the IDF reported active interceptions. The Israeli military is mobilizing “tens of thousands” of reservists and has declared a nationwide state of emergency.

Trump later remarked that the strikes may pressure Iran into negotiating “more seriously” toward a nuclear deal. Meanwhile, the future of scheduled U.S.-Iran talks in Oman now hangs in doubt. GLOBAL REACTION World powers including the UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand have issued urgent calls for de-escalation. Russia condemned Israel’s actions and offered to mediate. The U.S. issued a security alert advising all government employees in Israel - and their families - to shelter in place.show more

"NETANYAHU ASKED TRUMP TO POSTPONE IRAN ATTACK" Multiple reports... indicated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged President Donald Trump to delay or cancel planned military strikes against Iran. Netanyahu personally warned Trump that Israel was not yet fully prepared to absorb the significant Iranian retaliation that would likely follow a U.S. strike. Israeli officials expressed worries that their missile defense systems, including the Iron Dome and Arrow, were overextended and required additional time to restock following a 12-day direct confrontation with Iran in June 2025. Israel warned that any strike should not take place without a more substantial U.S. naval and military presence in the region. I wrote a few days ago that the U.S. would attack Iran without having aircraft carriers in place. However, it seems that Israel lacks interceptors for its air defense and for this reason they are awaiting reinforcements. U.S. aircraft carriers strike groups have been used repeatedly to help create a defensive "naval bubble" around Israel. The current redeployment of the Abraham Lincoln CSG suggests this capability is being reinforced again.show more
