Israel carried out a series of airstrikes on Iran, hitting 10 sites in the northern city of Tabriz and military bases in the capital Tehran. According to Iranian state media, the attacks killed 78 people and wounded 329. According to Reuters, 20 senior Iranian commanders, including the head of the Revolutionary Guards and Aerospace Force Commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh, were killed. Israeli officials revealed that weapons and drones had been delivered to Iran before the attacks. Nuclear talks canceled Iran announced its withdrawal from ongoing nuclear talks with the United States immediately after the attacks. The Iranian Foreign Ministry said that Israel’s “aggressive and provocative” actions left no justification for negotiations. Former US President Donald Trump said on social media that Iran still had a chance to make a deal, but analysts called it a statement that escalated tensions. Senior commanders killed, new appointments The attacks killed three top commanders, including the head of the Revolutionary Guards, the strategic planning chief, and the head of the air defense unit. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei announced new permanent appointments to positions linked to the Revolutionary Guards, known for their hardline stance against Western countries. Global response The United Nations expressed deep concern over the attacks and appealed to both countries to exercise restraint. Russia and China condemned the Israeli action and expressed solidarity with Iran. Experts say the attack is not only a military response but also a harbinger of future serious conflicts. Military tensions in West Asia are likely to escalate further.
