Increasing chance Iranian military chief killed in strikes on Iran nuclear sites, sources sayThe likelihood is increasing that the Iranian General Staff, including the Iranian Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri, and senior nuclear scientists were killed in the opening strike of Israel's Operation Rising Lion, early Friday morning.
Dozens of Israeli aircraft participated in an initial wave of strikes on dozens of military targets and Iranian nuclear sites early on Friday morning.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated Iran is gearing up to produce tens of thousands of ballistic missiles, which could kill millions of Israelis even without nuclear weapons, but imagine if any of them had nuclear weapons on them.
Further, Netanyahu stated Iran may only be a few months away from being able to actually make a nuclear weapon, and not just have enough uranium.
The IDF confirmed that the reason for the attack is to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon."Weapons of mass destruction in the hands of the Iranian regime are an existential threat to the State of Israel and to the wider world," the military said.
The IDF targets also include commanders, bases, and nuclear sites, though the main goal is nuclear sites............
