In a dramatic 12-day air war, Israel reported a decisive blow to Iran’s military setup. Over 30 senior security officials and 11 top nuclear scientists were eliminated in a series of high-impact strikes that shook the region. 🚀🔥
According to a senior Israeli military official, the opening strike on June 13 severely damaged Iran’s aerial defenses — with over 900 targets hit — and crippled its missile production. This operation also neutralized Iran’s ability to enrich uranium up to dangerous levels, putting its nuclear project on a prolonged pause.
Retaliatory missile barrages from Iran struck military sites and cities, sparking conflicting casualty counts: Iranian authorities reported 627 fatalities while Israel confirmed 28 losses. These stark figures highlight the intense and costly nature of this conflict.
Meanwhile, in a clear bid to maintain regional stability, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has directed the military to draft new strategies to secure air superiority, deter nuclear developments, and counter militant activities. Israeli military Chief of Staff Lt Gen Eyal Zamir even hinted at an upcoming ground push, codenamed "Gideon's Chariots," aimed at gaining stronger control over the Gaza enclave.
This unfolding story reminds us that regional conflicts can be as dynamic as they are unpredictable. Stay tuned for more updates as events continue to evolve!
