Go to Article

Israel launched precision airstrikes in Iran on Thursday night.

The IDF conducted several airstrikes on nuclear facilities and the homes of top Iranian scientists and military officials.

One of the biggest names killed in the first wave of airstrikes was the Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, Hossein Salami.

Fox News broke the story:

State-run media in Iran confirmed that the Commander-in Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Hossein Salami, was killed during Israel’s airstrikes on Iran Thursday night.

Salami rose through the ranks of the IRGC since the inception after the 1970 Islamic Revolution in Iran.

He replaced Qassem Soleimani after the U.S. killed the IRGC leader in January 2020.

 

Per AP:

Black smoke rose Friday over Iran’s main nuclear enrichment facility at Natanz though it wasn’t clear how bad the damage was.

Iranian state television briefly showed the live picture with a reporter.

Natanz is partially above ground, partially below ground, with multiple halls of centrifuges spinning uranium gas for its nuclear program.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had said Israel targeted the site in Friday’s attack. Natanz previously has been targeted by the Stuxnet cyberattack and multiple sabotage campaigns likely carried out by Israel.
