Israel attacks Iran: Senior IRGC commanders and nuclear scientists reportedly targeted
Shafaq News/ The Israeli army has launched a large-scale military operation dubbed 'Rising Lion,' confirming that dozens of fighter jets carried out a 'preemptive' strike on strategic sites deep within Iranian territory. Iranian state television reported that the headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Tehran was among the targets, with local media showing images of fire and smoke billowing from the site. Multiple heavy explosions were heard in northern, western, and central Tehran in the early hours of Friday. State-run media also reported that residential areas in Tehran and other cities were hit, with children reportedly among the casualties. Social media images showed damaged residential buildings, and flights were suspended at Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport. According to Israeli Army Radio, the air force is continuing operations inside Iran, while Israel's airspace has been closed until further notice. Axios cited an Israeli official stating that the strike targeted high-ranking IRGC commanders and senior nuclear scientists. Israeli news outlet Walla quoted security sources suggesting that key members of Iran's General Staff, including the Chief of Staff, were likely eliminated in the opening wave. In response, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened Israel's security cabinet, stating the campaign 'may last for weeks.' Defense Minister Israel Katz declared a nationwide state of emergency, warning of potential retaliatory missile and drone attacks. The operation comes just two days before a scheduled round of nuclear talks between Iran and the United States. Iranian officials had previously warned that any military action would trigger a firm and decisive response. #عاجل عملية #الاسد_الصاعد هجوم استباقي ودقيق لضرب المشروع النووي الايراني. عشرات الطائرات الحربية ضربت عشرات الاهداف العسكرية التابعة للنظام الإيراني ومن بينها أهداف نووية في مناطق مختلفة من ايران. بدأنا الهجوم لأن الساعة قد حانت، لقد وصلنا إلى نقطة اللاعودة. ليس لدينا خيار… — افيخاي ادرعي (@AvichayAdraee) June 13, 2025

Letter exchange: US, Iran clash over nuclear talks, military threat looms
Shafaq News/ US President Donald Trump's letter to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei proposed new nuclear talks and warned of potential military action if no agreement was reached within two months. The letter, delivered via Omani mediation, emphasized a 'historic opportunity' to mend relations, offering economic incentives while warning of "decisive and swift" consequences if Iran refused to negotiate. 🟢 انشر لكم نص الرسالة التي بعثها الرئيس الامريكي @realDonaldTrump للمرشد الايراني الاعلى @ar_khamenei دون تعديل ومترجمة للغة العربية . لا اريد التعليق لانها تتحدث عن نفسها . وفي مايلي نص الرسالة :جناب آية الله خامنئي،مع الاحترام لمكانة قيادتكم ولشعب إيران، أكتب لكم هذه… — محمد صالح صدقیان (@msedghian) March 28, 2025 In his response, Khamenei dismissed the letter as " deceptive," accusing the US of using negotiations as a pretext to impose further sanctions and exert pressure on Tehran. He publicly declared that Iran would not engage in direct talks under Washington's Maximum Pressure campaign, which he described as economic warfare. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed that Iran had officially responded to Trump's letter, sending its reply through Oman. He stated that while Iran refused direct negotiations, it remained open to indirect talks to assess US intentions and present its own conditions. Iran's formal response outlined its 'grievances' with US policies, condemning Washington's 'contradictory stance' of pushing for dialogue while intensifying sanctions. Kamal Kharrazi, an adviser to Khamenei, reiterated that Iran had not shut all doors to resolving disputes but insisted that progress required a fundamental shift in US policy. The exchange occurred amid escalating tensions over Iran's nuclear program. Since Trump withdrew from the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Iran has expanded its uranium enrichment activities beyond the agreement's limits. Western powers have accused Iran of pursuing nuclear weapons capabilities, a claim Tehran denies, asserting its program is for civilian purposes. Adding to the stakes, the US recently deployed B-2 stealth bombers to the Diego Garcia military base. US officials indicated that the deployment was "not disconnected" from Trump's two-month deadline, signaling military preparedness.
