Israeli military announces deaths of over 20 Iranian military leaders
Scorching the Desert - Israel's Daring Strike on Iran's Nuclear Stronghold
In a bold and calculated move, the Israeli Air Force unleashed a fierce offensive, targeting the heart of Iran's military command. In a statement by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Central Command, after a mission codenamed "Operation Rising Lion," they claimed the elimination of the chief of the Iranian Armed Forces General Staff's Intelligence Directorate and the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) "Surface-to-Surface" missile group.
"The dawn brought a roaring roar as Israeli Air Force jets, guided by precise IDF intelligence, wiped out the chief of the Iranian Armed Forces General Staff's Intelligence Directorate and the commander of the IRGC's 'Surface-to-Surface' missile group. Over 20 commanders of the Iranian regime's security apparatus have succumbed to the destructive sweep of Operation Rising Lion," the IDF announced through their telegram channel. The operation's primary objectives were precisely identified by the IDF's intelligence sector.
The strike was a culmination of a series of Israeli attacks, which began on June 13, 2025, on Iranian military targets. The previous operation claimed the life of the commander of the IRGC's Aerospace Force, Amir-Ali Hajizadeh, and other high-ranking officials. Consequently, damage was inflicted on Iran's nuclear facilities. This turn of events has stirred criticism from the Russian Foreign Ministry and apprehension from the international community over the intensifying tensions in the region.

Enrichment Data:As of June 15, 2025, the Israeli-Iran conflict has escalated into a series of heavy mutual airstrikes, with Israel launching widespread attacks—often referred to in the media as "Operation Rising Lion" or with similar code names—targeting Iranian nuclear and military sites. Iran, in response, retaliated with massive drone and ballistic missile attacks on Israel, causing significant damage in Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The U.S.-Iran nuclear talks scheduled for June 15 were canceled due to the heightened tensions, and the possibility of U.S. involvement remains unclear. To date, there is no independent confirmation of significant damage to Iran's most fortified nuclear sites, but the targeting of key facilities and personnel losses have set back Iran's nuclear program to some extent. Both sides have signaled their intention to continue these attacks, raising fears of a prolonged and potentially expanding conflict.
"This latest development, referred to as 'Operation Rising Lion,' is a significant escalation in the Israeli-Iran conflict, falling under the broader category of 'war-and-conflicts.' The strikes, which have targeted Iranian nuclear and military sites, are indicative of political tensions and are a key point in 'general-news' coverage."
"As the situation continues to unfold, organizations such as our own strive to provide the most current updates through appropriate channels like Telegram. Keeping abreast of such critical 'politics' and 'general-news' events like these conflicts is essential for understanding the wider implications for world stability and peace."
