Israel claims killing three senior IRGC commanders
Shafaq News/ Israel has killed three senior commanders of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in coordinated airstrikes, escalating a rapidly intensifying confrontation with Tehran. According to Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, an airstrike in Qom eliminated Saeed Izadi, who led the Quds Force's Palestine Corps. Katz described the operation as a 'major achievement for Israeli intelligence and the Air Force,' highlighting Izadi's role in arming and funding Hamas ahead of the October 7 attacks. Both the US and the UK had previously sanctioned Izadi for his links to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. #عاجل 🔻جيش الدفاع قام بالقضاء على المدعو سعيد إيزادي قائد فيلق فلسطين في فيلق القدس والذي يُعدّ حلقة الوصل بين النظام الإيراني وتنظيم حماس الإرهابي ومن مؤسسي الخطة الإيرانية لتدمير إسرائيل❌خلال ساعات الليلة الماضية وفي عملية مشتركة بين سلاح الجو هيئة الاستخبارات هاجمت طائرات… — افيخاي ادرعي (@AvichayAdraee) June 21, 2025 In a separate strike, Israeli military spokesperson Avichay Adraee announced the killing of Behnam Shahriari, head of the Quds Force's Unit 190, which handles weapons transfers. Israeli aircraft reportedly targeted his vehicle in western Iran, over 1,000 kilometers from Israeli territory, following intelligence provided overnight by Military Intelligence. Shahriari allegedly oversaw arms shipments to Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, while also running a financial network using shell companies, money exchangers, and couriers in Turkiye and Lebanon. Israeli officials accuse him of funneling hundreds of millions of dollars annually to allied armed factions. #عاجل ❌ على بُعد حوالي 1000 كيلومتر من دولة إسرائيل وأثناء تنقّله: القضاء على قائد وحدة نقل الوسائط القتالية التابعة لفيلق القدس الإيراني المدعو بهنام شهرياري🔻خلال ساعات الليلة الماضية وبناءً على توجيه استخباراتي دقيق من هيئة الاستخبارات العسكرية هاجمت طائرات سلاح الجو وقضت… — افيخاي ادرعي (@AvichayAdraee) June 21, 2025 Israel also reported eliminating Amin For Godkhi, commander of the IRGC's 2nd UAV Brigade, responsible for drone operations from Ahvaz.

The strikes come as tensions between Israel and Iran spiral. Iran's Fars News Agency reported Israeli strikes on two sites: a key nuclear facility in Isfahan and a residential building in Qom. The Qom attack reportedly killed a 16-year-old boy and injured two others. Iranian authorities confirmed no radiation leak from the Isfahan site. Iran's Health Ministry announced nearly 4,000 casualties since Israeli airstrikes began on June 13, with 430 killed and over 3,500 wounded. In retaliation, the IRGC launched the 18th wave of 'Operation True Promise 3,' claiming it targeted Israeli military assets—including Ben Gurion Airport—using Shahed-136 drones and precision missiles. The IRGC asserted that its drone formations breached Israeli airspace, evaded interception, and forced civilians into shelters, warning of continued strikes as part of what it called a 'strategic response' to Israeli aggression. Around 2:30 a.m. local time, air raid sirens sounded across central Israel, including Tel Aviv and the occupied West Bank, after Iranian ballistic missiles were detected. Several were intercepted, but debris from one caused a rooftop fire in a residential area.

Iranian Missile Carrying 26 Smaller Warheads Causes Widespread Damage in Israel
Taarek Refaat A recent Iranian missile strike has resulted in extensive damage over a large area, with reports confirming that the missile carried 26 smaller warheads. The attack has caused destruction within a radius of several hundred meters from the impact site, according to local sources and initial assessments. The missile, which was reportedly launched from Iranian territory, has raised significant concerns about the increasing volatility in the region, especially amid ongoing tensions between Iran and Israel. Experts suggest that the missile's payload, consisting of multiple smaller warheads, was designed to maximize the area of impact, causing widespread damage to both infrastructure and civilian areas. While details on casualties remain unclear, the scale of the damage is evident, with numerous buildings and structures suffering heavy destruction. Local emergency teams have been deployed to the affected areas to provide assistance and assess the extent of the damage. The missile strike marks a further escalation in the already tense situation, as the geopolitical rift between Israel and Iran continues to deepen. Analysts fear that such attacks could lead to even more significant military responses, further destabilizing the region. As the situation develops, international diplomatic efforts are underway to address the rising tensions and avoid further escalation of military actions. صاروخ كروز إيراني جديد يدخل الخدمة العسكرية تطوير محلي بمدى دقيق وقدرات متقدمة، يعكس تصاعد القدرات الدفاعية الإيرانية في مواجهة التهديدات — إيران بالعربية (@iraninarabic_ir) June 20, 2025 #إيران بدأت استعمال صواريخ جديدة . #اسرائيل_سقطت 🔥 #الحرب_بدأت_الان — عبدالله جعفر (@AbdoallahJafar) June 20, 2025 read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand

Open-source investigation maps Iran calculated retaliation on Israel intelligence strongholds - Region
Eekad, an Arab open-source intelligence platform, has mapped and analyzed through a detailed investigation multiple Iranian missile retaliatory strikes targeting critical Israeli military and intelligence sites, revealing Tehran's deliberate strategy to weaken Israel's defense and intelligence capabilities through precision attacks rather than random bombardment. Detailed analysis #جيونيوز | لم تكن صواريخ إيران تسقط عشوائيًا في إسرائيل على ما يبدو، بل كان أمامها بنك أهداف ثمين وضعته طهران لإضعاف قدرات تل أبيب الاستخباراتية. ❓إيكاد تتبعت خريطة الاستهدافات الإيرانية لمعرفة المواقع الاستخباراتية الإسرائيلية التي طالها القصف وما أهميتها؟ ولماذا اعتمدت طهران… — EekadFacts | إيكاد (@EekadFacts) June 18, 2025 Hakirya complex At the onset of Iranian missile strikes on 13 June, footage circulated on Israeli social media showing a missile landing near the Ministry of Defense in central Tel Aviv. Geospatial analysis confirmed that the missile fell close to the ministry but did not directly strike it. The Hakirya complex is often called the 'Pentagon of Israel.' It houses the Israel Defense Forces' General Staff Headquarters, the Ministry of Defense, and central military command and intelligence centres. It also serves as the core military-government hub in Tel Aviv, hosting multiple defense entities, including the war council and key facilities like the Marganit and Matkal towers. According to the Economic Times, Hakirya is among Israel's most heavily guarded and strategically sensitive sites. Weizmann Institute of Science Two days later, Tehran launched a missile strike on the Weizmann Institute located in Rehovot, south of Tel Aviv. Surveillance footage and geographic analysis identified the Andre Deloro building within the institute as the impact site; this building has been under construction since March 2021. The institute was founded by Chaim Weizmann, chemist and Israel's first president, and is internationally renowned for its foundational scientific research. It hosts approximately 250 research groups across disciplines, including biology, biochemistry, mathematics, and computer science. Historically, the Weizmann Institute has played a key role in Israel's nuclear research and weapons development, notably contributing to secret nuclear weapons programmes and wartime ammunition production dating back to 1948. Mossad headquarters On 17 June, Iranian missile strikes targeted the Mossad's headquarters in Herzliya. Verification via landmark comparison and map analysis confirmed that the strikes impacted this key intelligence site within the greater Tel Aviv area. Mossad is Israel's external intelligence agency responsible for clandestine operations such as intelligence gathering, targeted assassinations, sabotage, and infiltration. It operates under the direct authority of the prime minister's office and has near-total autonomy over its operational planning. Mossad's reach extends across the Middle East, Europe, Latin America, and Africa. The agency has been implicated in high-profile covert operations, including the 2010 assassination of Hamas commander Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh in Dubai and the 2018 theft of Iran's nuclear archive. Aman (Israeli military intelligence directorate) On the same day, Iran targeted the Israeli military intelligence directorate Aman, releasing footage of four distinct strikes in its vicinity. Geospatial and open-source verification confirmed that these attacks focused on Aman's headquarters in Herzliya. Aman is the central intelligence branch within the Israeli Military General Staff, collecting and analyzing military and strategic intelligence. Its responsibilities include monitoring enemy activity, providing strategic assessments to government decision-makers, and conducting defensive and offensive cyber operations. Aman comprises several specialized units, including Unit 8200 (communications interception and electronic surveillance), Unit 9900 (satellite imagery and geospatial analysis), and Unit 504 (agent recruitment and operations within enemy territory).

Shahid Rajaee Port is one of Iran's most vital maritime hubs, handling container traffic and hosting oil storage facilities and petrochemical plants. It is worth noting that Bandar Abbas has previously experienced similar incidents, including refinery explosions and gas leaks.
