Israel Strikes Iran in Unprecedented Attack, Killing Top Commander and Hitting Nuclear Sites
I’m coming to you today amid major breaking news from the Middle East—news that could redefine regional stability for years to come. Israel has launched a large-scale and direct military strike on Iran, targeting its nuclear facilities and senior military leadership in what’s being described as an unprecedented escalation.
This isn't just a cross-border skirmish or a covert operation. We're talking about Operation Rising Lion—Israel’s bold, open assault on Iran’s most sensitive and guarded sites. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the strikes, saying they are aimed at the “heart of Iran’s ballistic missile and nuclear programs.” According to Israeli officials, this is not a one-day campaign. It's a sustained military effort, which, in Netanyahu’s own words, will last "many days."
One of the most shocking developments: General Hossein Salami, the head of Iran’s powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was killed in the attack. Salami wasn’t just any military leader—he was one of the most influential figures in the Iranian regime, directly reporting to the Supreme Leader, and a central architect of Iran’s missile programs and military campaigns in the region.

The Natanz uranium enrichment facility—known to be Iran's largest and most critical nuclear site—was engulfed in flames. Satellite data, social media footage, and state TV in Iran all confirm heavy smoke and fire rising from the site. This facility has long been a focal point of international concern, as it houses advanced centrifuges used to enrich uranium, which could be used to build nuclear weapons.
Unsurprisingly, Iran has responded by shutting down its entire airspace and issuing warnings for civilians to avoid airports. Meanwhile, Israel has gone into full emergency mode. The government is urging citizens to shelter and prepare for possible Iranian retaliation, which could involve missiles, drones, or proxy attacks by Hezbollah or other armed groups across the region.
And in a historic shift, Israel is calling up tens of thousands of reserve soldiers. The IDF says this is “a point of no return”—a moment that demands full national mobilization.
As for the United States, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been clear: America was not involved in the operation. While Washington had been negotiating a new nuclear deal with Iran, this strike—executed solely by Israel—could derail that process completely. President Trump, facing pressure from multiple foreign policy fronts, now has to navigate a potential crisis that could pull the U.S. into yet another Middle Eastern conflict.
Israel’s ambassador to the UN defended the strike as a necessary act of self-defense, claiming intelligence showed Iran was on the verge of deploying nuclear weapons. He said, “We decided not to wait for Iran to attack us.”
The fallout is still unfolding. But make no mistake: this is a defining moment—not just for Israel and Iran, but for the entire world. The days ahead are likely to test the boundaries of diplomacy, deterrence, and resilience. We’re entering dangerous, uncharted territory, and the consequences of this could ripple across the globe. Stay alert.
