In a major escalation, today’s Israeli strike on Tehran killed three top Iranian intelligence officials:
Gen. Mohammad Kazemi – Head of IRGC Intelligence
Gen. Hassan Mohaqiq – Deputy Head of IRGC Intelligence
Gen. Mohsen Bagheri – Senior IRGC Commander
Meanwhile, Iran launched its most intense missile and drone barrage yet, firing over 100 ballistic missiles at Israel, hitting Tel Aviv, Haifa, and other cities:
Tel Aviv: 8 buildings hit; 5 killed, 103 injured; some trapped under rubble
Haifa: Bazan Refinery struck; power infrastructure damaged
U.S. Embassy: Nearby missile impact reported, minor damage
Nationwide Sirens: Israel’s Home Front Command activated countrywide alerts
Israeli Response: IAF struck Quds Force sites in Tehran and missile bases in southern Iran
Iran’s leadership warned of broader retaliation if Israel continues its campaign. The conflict has now entered a dangerous phase, with casualties mounting and diplomatic solutions fading.
