The Great Israel-Iran Showdown
Following a massive Israeli attack on Iranian soil, the stage is set for a potential escalation between the two nations. Overnight Friday, Israel targeted nuclear facilities and military installations, allegedly with the help of Mossad's long-planned intelligence operations [Multiple Israeli media outlets]. Israel claimed to have struck over 80 targets in Tehran alone. This large-scale attack, experts believe, was years in the making via Mossad's meticulous intelligence work.
The suspected Mossad agents, according to various reports, had equipped precision weapons, vehicles, and drone bases near rocket silos and air defense positions before the attacks. These weapons systems were remotely controlled at the onset of air strikes, striking their targets with astounding accuracy.
Civilian Casualties Mount
Amid the chaos, Iran countered the Israeli attacks with rocket and drone fire, leading to numerous casualties on both sides since Friday.
