Israel Kills Over 20 Iranian Commanders in Missile Strikes on Multiple Cities

News summary

Tensions between Israel and Iran escalated dramatically with Israel launching Operation Rising Lion, targeting Iranian nuclear sites, military commanders, and scientists. The Israeli military claimed to have killed more than 20 Iranian commanders, including senior intelligence and missile program officials such as Gholamreza Mehrabi and Mohammad Bagheri, while Iran reported over 70 deaths and nearly 100 casualties from Israeli strikes. Iran retaliated by firing dozens of ballistic missiles into central Israel, causing casualties and damage in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, where local residents expressed shock at the attacks hitting so close to home. In response, Israeli airstrikes continued against military and industrial targets in Iran's northwest, killing at least 30 military personnel and injuring dozens more. Diplomatic efforts have stalled, with Iran's foreign minister calling further nuclear talks with the US unjustifiable amid accusations that Israel's strikes were conducted with Washington's approval, while Israeli officials warned of severe consequences if attacks persist. US President Trump urged Iran to make a deal before the situation deteriorates further, highlighting the fragile state of diplomacy amid the rising conflict.
