Israeli airstrikes have reportedly resulted in the deaths of several high-ranking commanders of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including Hossein Salami, amid ongoing military tensions between Israel and Iran. The strikes targeted multiple nuclear and military sites across Iran, marking a significant escalation in hostilities that have arisen during negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear program. In response, Iran has made leadership changes within the IRGC and suffered further losses with the deaths of nuclear scientists. This conflict highlights the increasing volatility in the region as each nation ramps up military actions against one another.
The current escalation began after Israel launched strikes on Friday morning involving 200 fighter jets that hit dozens of nuclear, military and infrastructure targets across Iran.
Israel claims these attacks are aimed at crippling Iran's ability to build a nuclear bomb and to militarily respond through the sword arm of its security forces, the IRGC.
