Israel launched a massive aerial assault on Iran Friday, targeting around 100 sites, including nuclear facilities and military command centers. The strikes reportedly killed several high-ranking officials, including Iran’s armed forces chief of staff and senior nuclear scientists. In response, Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, vowed that Israel would face a “bitter and painful” retaliation. The Iranian military warned that its response would have “no limits.” Later, the Israeli military confirmed that Iran retaliated with about 100 drones, which were intercepted before entering Israeli airspace. Jordan also reported intercepting drones and missiles that violated its airspace, triggering air raid sirens in Amman. Former U.S. President Donald Trump told Fox News he had prior knowledge of the Israeli strikes, which involved approximately 200 fighter jets. He reiterated that Iran must not be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon. The U.S. emphasized it was not involved in the operation and warned Iran against targeting American personnel or assets. However, Tehran accused Washington of complicity, insisting such a large-scale strike could not have occurred without U.S. coordination or approval. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the operation struck at the "heart of Iran’s nuclear enrichment program," including a direct hit on the Natanz nuclear facility and its key scientists. He warned that the strikes would continue “as many days as it takes,” citing intelligence suggesting Iran was nearing the “point of no return” in its nuclear ambitions. Iranian media confirmed the deaths of top military officials, including armed forces chief of staff Mohammad Bagheri and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps head Hossein Salami.
