Iran's revolutionary guards Commander-in-Chief Hossein Salami killed after Israeli attack hit… Explosions rocked Tehran on Friday morning as Israel carried out multiple strikes on Iran. PM Netanyahu announced the launch of 'Operation Rising Lion' and claimed that Israel had struck at the core of the Islamic regime's nuclear programme. By Analiza Pathak Edited by Analiza Pathak Advertisement In a major escalation, Israeli airstrikes on Friday reportedly killed Hossein Salami, the top commander of Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard. According to Iran's Tasnim news agency, Salami lost his life when Israeli missiles hit the IRGC headquarters. Hossein Salami was the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), an influential force within Iran's government and military. The IRGC, which was established after Iran's 1979 revolution, also oversees the country's ballistic missile systems. These missiles have been used in attacks against Israel during the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza. An Israeli defense official also claimed that the strikes may have taken out other high-ranking figures, including Mohammad Bagheri, Iran's military chief of staff, as well as several key nuclear scientists. 'It appears that the chief of staff and senior nuclear experts were likely killed in the initial wave of strikes,' the official told AFP.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that this marks just the 'first stage' of a larger operation, suggesting more attacks may follow.

Israeli officials say the goal is to weaken Iran's ability to build nuclear weapons and limit its ballistic missile capabilities. 'We are at a turning point in Israel's history,' said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a recorded statement, hinting at long-term military engagement. He added that the campaign would go on for several days and emphasized that Israeli forces were targeting scientists involved in Iran's nuclear bomb development and the uranium enrichment site at Natanz. Israel's military chief, Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, called the operation a 'historic campaign,' warning Israelis to prepare for an Iranian counterattack. 'There's no guarantee of a clean victory — Iran will respond, and the consequences might be heavier than we've experienced before,' he said. In response, Iranian state media announced a nationwide state of emergency. Emergency teams have been activated across the country, and Iran's armed forces are reportedly on high alert. The killing of senior military officials and nuclear scientists has significantly raised tensions in the region.
