Top 10 Updates on the Iran Israel Conflict
Israel VS Iran
Top 10 Updates on the Iran Israel Conflict. Tensions between Israel and Iran escalated sharply following a surprise Israeli military offensive on Friday, targeting key facilities and personnel. The strikes come just one day after the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors issued its first formal censure against Iran in two decades over its nuclear program.
In response, Iran announced the establishment of a third uranium enrichment site and upgrades to its advanced centrifuge technology, meanwhile, Israel launched operation ‘Rising Lion,’ striking critical Iranian infrastructure. Here’s a detailed look at what happened and where:
50 Injured in Israeli Strikes Across Iran
At least 50 civilians, including women and children, were injured in Israeli airstrikes; Iranian state television reported that most casualties were transported to Chamran Hospital in Tehran, with no fatalities confirmed so far. Reports suggest strikes occurred in or around Tehran, Iran’s capital, and possibly extended to Isfahan and Natanz, both known for nuclear research and development.
Target: Iran’s Nuclear Facilities
One of the main targets was Iran’s Natanz nuclear enrichment facility, which has been hit “several times,” according to intelligence sources. Natanz is one of Iran’s most heavily guarded nuclear site, located in Isfahan Province, and plays a central role in the country’s uranium enrichment program.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Chief Reportedly Killed
AFP reported that Major General Hossein Salami, the Commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was killed in the strikes. The report, citing Iranian state-affiliated Tasnim News Agency, also noted that Mohammad Bagheri, Iran’s military chief, and multiple senior military officers and nuclear scientists died during the bombing if what is believed to be an IRGC command compound in Tehran.
Trump claims prior knowledge
Former President Donald Trump confirmed in an interview with fox News that he had advanced knowledge of the Israeli operation. “Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb and we are hoping to get back to the negotiating table,” Trump stated. While he acknowledged conversations with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he insisted the U.S. had no direct involvement in the attacks.
Israel Justifies Attack as ‘Essential for Survival’
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a public statement on YouTube, described the military action as a “targeted operation to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel’s very survival.” He emphasized that the operation would continue “for as many days as it takes” to neutralize Iran’s strategic threat.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Vows Retaliation
In a fiery statement, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei condemned the Israeli strikes, calling them a “Crime against our beloved country” and promised “severe punishment.” He accuses Israel of targeting residential areas, further fueling outrage in Tehran and cities like Qom and Mashhad, where mass protests have erupted since the strike. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/middle-east/israel
State of Emergency in Israel
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant declared a state of emergency across the country. Residents in Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jerusalem, and border regions near Lebanon and Gaza have been potential retaliatory missile or drone attacks from Iran or its proxies.
Iran Prepares Military Response
Iran’s armed forces have been placed on high alert across strategic bases in Isfahan, Qom, Shiraz and Bandar Abbas. Multiple missile batteries and drone squadrons have reportedly been mobilized, suggesting imminent retaliation against Israeli or Western target in the region.
US Distances Itself, Warns Iran
US Senator Macro Rubio stated that Israel acted independently, with the Biden administration receiving only prior notification of the action. Rubio warned: “Iran should not target US interests or personnel. Our Priority is the protection of American forces in the region. “The Pentagon also confirmed troop alertness levels have been raised in bases across Iraq, Syria, and the Persian Gulf.
Global Community Calls for Restraint
The United Nations, European Union, and key regional powers including Saudi Arabia and Turkey have called for both sides to exercise maximum restraint. Diplomats fear that this escalation could trigger a larger regional war, dragging in Hezbollah in Lebanon, militias in Iraq, and Iranian allies.
Why Natanz Tahran Were Targeted
Natanz houses Iran’s main uranium enrichment plants.
Tehran is not only the political capital but also the command hub of the IRGC and nuclear policy.
Reports suggest Israel used precision airstrikes and cyber components, similarly to Stuxnet-like tactics, to disable both nuclear and command infrastructures.
What’s Next?
Iran is expected to retaliate within 72 hours, possibly via proxy attacks in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, or even direct missile strikes.
The Israeli Iron Dome and David’s missile defense systems are fully deployed.
A surge in oil prices, global markets volatility, and Middle East travel advisories has already begun.
