Iran Reports Israeli Car Bombs Killing Nuclear Scientists, IRGC Leaders in Tehran

In a series of escalating attacks in Tehran, multiple car bombs reportedly targeted and killed at least 14 Iranian nuclear scientists, with Iranian state media attributing the strikes to Israel. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed to have struck Israel's Mossad and military intelligence centers in Tel Aviv in retaliation. Israeli officials have denied involvement in the car bombings, leaving uncertainty about the source of the attacks, while Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that Tehran is being turned into a conflict zone similar to Beirut. The attacks come amid a broader campaign in which Israel has reportedly eliminated numerous high-ranking Iranian military leaders and scientists, intensifying regional tensions. Iran's IRNA state agency and other Gulf sources provided details on the casualties, while Israeli officials communicated evacuation orders to Tehran residents near weapons facilities. This ongoing conflict highlights the deepening struggle between Israel and Iran over nuclear capabilities and regional influence.
