US EditionIsraeli Strikes Kill Iran’s Military Chief, IRGC Commander, and Top Nuclear Scientists: Report
- Israel launched Operation Rising Lion in June 2025, killing Iran’s IRGC commander Hossein Salami, chief of staff Mohammad Bagheri, and top nuclear scientists in coordinated airstrikes across Tehran.
- The strikes were launched in response to Iran’s previous assaults, including multiple drone and missile attacks on Israel in 2024, as well as Iran’s involvement in supporting regional militant groups; Israel stated that the situation had escalated beyond a stage where further delay was possible.
- The operation targeted over 20 sites including missile factories, military command centers, and homes of senior IRGC and nuclear program leaders to disrupt Iran's military and nuclear capabilities.
- IDF Chief Zamir emphasized that by standing together with determination and collective action, victory is achievable. He called on civilians to support the military and highlighted that this conflict represents a crucial fight for Israel's survival against a formidable regional threat.
- The deaths of Salami and Bagheri, confirmed by Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei, will likely weaken Iran’s military response capacity, marking a significant escalation in Israel-Iran hostilities.
