Israel launched a major airstrike on Tehran, killing IRGC Commander Hossein Salami, ex-nuclear chief Fariun Abbasi, and scientist Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi, according to Iranian media. Civilian areas were also hit, with reports of women and children among the casualties.
Iran closed its airspace and denied rumors of Chief of Staff Baqeri’s death, stating he is in the war room. Israel confirmed it struck “dozens of military and nuclear targets” in a preemptive attack, warning of further action amid heightened regional tensions.
