The IDF launched what it claims was a “preemptive” attack on military personnel and nuclear sites on Friday.
Israeli strikes on Iran have killed several of the country’s top commanders, including Major General Hossein Salami, the commander of Iran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and other senior army officials, according to local news agencies and officials.
In a statement, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the attacks early on Friday involving more than 200 fighter jets had killed Salami along with Major General Mohammad Bagheri, the chief of staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, and the commander of Iran’s Emergency Command.
According to Israel, the raid was aimed at Iranian nuclear and military targets, including an enrichment facility in Natanz. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the operation was intended to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
Iranian officials have confirmed the deaths of Salami and Bagheri, with the IRGC stressing that it “stands ready to deliver a decisive and harsh response to the Zionist enemy’s aggression.”
According to reports cited by Press TV, the victims also include Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Gholam Ali Rashid. Israeli strikes on Tehran have also killed at least six Iranian nuclear scientists, the Tasnim news agency reported.
The attack took place just days before the sixth round of nuclear talks between the US and Iran, scheduled for Sunday in Oman. US President Donald Trump recently accused Tehran of “slow-walking” the negotiations after previous rounds failed to produce a breakthrough. On Friday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stressed that Washington was not involved in the Israeli strikes.
Iran has denied that it is seeking to acquire nuclear weapons, insisting instead on its right to conduct nuclear research for civilian purposes.

This is not a peaceful solution to a slow negotiation. This is not a logical solution either, when a small boat with a peace flag receives more condemnation than an aggressive ‘pre-emption’, raiding, killing and destroying. Prepare for more misquotes and misrepresentations from nazi msm.
Those replacing the assassinated Iranian Military may in fact have a greater resolve to wipe Israel off the map!
And…so they should! The iranians have International Law on their side, but let see if even that holds water similar to the ICJ & ICC warrants for *Netanyahu (*Mielkowski) and his Zionist Talmudic War Criminals!

Baiting hungry and thirsty Palestinians with food, luring them into the area which is a kill zone, and then murdering them is beyond reprehensible!
Tel Aviv needs some 50KT therapy…!
