Israeli Strikes Kill Iran’s Military Chief, IRGC Commander, and Top Nuclear Scientists: Report

IRAN, JUN 13 – Operation Rising Lion killed top Iranian commanders and scientists, hitting over 100 targets to disrupt nuclear and missile programs, Israel said in a major preemptive strike.

  • On June 13, 2025, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, conducting coordinated airstrikes on over 100 targets near Tehran, including Iranian military commanders and nuclear sites.
  • The operation followed escalating tensions marked by Iran's prior drone and missile attacks on Israel, proxy conflicts, and a recent IAEA censure of Iran's nuclear program.
  • Israeli forces reportedly deployed more than 200 fighter jets, including F-35s, F-15s, and refuelers, striking homes and command centers of Major General Hossein Salami, Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri, and top nuclear scientists.
  • The IDF stated it used around 330 munitions, eliminating senior Iranian figures and hitting nuclear facilities like Natanz, while Iranian state media confirmed the deaths of Salami, Bagheri, and six nuclear experts.
  • These significant losses likely disrupt Iran's military command and nuclear ambitions, prompting Iran's pledges of retaliation and potential further regional escalation of tensions.
