On Friday morning, Israel conducted multiple airstrikes against Iran, focusing on nuclear installations, missile sites, and military infrastructure. The strikes resulted in a significant disruption of Iran’s military leadership, reportedly killing several high-ranking generals.
Locations of Israeli Strikes in Iran
Tehran
Residents of Tehran reported experiencing loud explosions and observing Israeli warplanes in the sky. Images aired by Iranian state television showed plumes of smoke and flames rising from affected areas.
Israeli forces targeted military installations near Tehran, including Parchin, as well as residential complexes associated with military leaders. Numerous residential buildings were hit, suggesting potential targeted killings, according to several high-ranking Iranian officials.
Natanz Nuclear-Enrichment Facility
Verified social media footage and Iranian news reports captured flames and thick smoke rising from the Natanz nuclear-enrichment facility.
Natanz serves as Iran’s primary nuclear enrichment site, responsible for producing most of the country’s nuclear fuel. Over the last three years, it has also produced a significant amount of nearly weapon-grade fuel, bringing Iran closer to the ability to develop nuclear arms.
Concerns have intensified over the potential for the long-standing rivalry between these heavily armed nations to escalate into a wider regional conflict.
