UPDATE: President Trump says he still wants a deal with Iran, before things get worse for Tehran. POTUS says Iranian leadership has contacted him.
UPDATE: Israel is working to establish air superiority over Iran as the next phase of attacks is readied.
UPDATE: Three distinct operations were conducted:
1. In central Iran, Mossad commando squads deployed precision-guided weapon systems in open areas near Iranian surface-to-air missile (SAM) sites. During the Israeli attack, these systems were activated in coordination with air force strikes across Iran, launching precision missiles simultaneously with high accuracy.
2. To neutralize Iran’s air defense systems threatening Israeli fighter jets, the Mossad covertly deployed sophisticated attack systems on vehicles. At the onset of the surprise attack, these weapons were launched, completely destroying the targeted Iranian defense systems.
3. In a third operation, the Mossad established a network of explosive drones infiltrated deep into Iran well before the attack. During the Israeli offensive, these drones were activated and launched against surface-to-surface missile (SGM) launchers at the Asfaqabad base near Tehran, which posed a threat to strategic targets and Israeli civilians.
This is the list of senior officials who were attacked - much more than has been published so far, and Iran has so far admitted to the elimination of some of them, others were injured:
- General Mohammad Hossein Bagheri, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces.
- Hossein Salami, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
- General Ghulam Ali Rashid, Commander of the Khatem al-Anbiya Headquarters.
- Mohammad Pakpour, commander of the Revolutionary Guards' ground forces.
- Alireza Tangsiri, Commander of the Revolutionary Guards Navy.
- Ahmad Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the Revolutionary Guards' Space Force.
- Esmail Qaani, commander of the Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guards.
- Alireza Soleimani, commander of the Basij.
- Amir Mousavi, Commander of the Iranian Army.
- Amir Shahram Iranian, Commander of the Army's Navy.
- Alireza Fordestan, Commander of the Army's Ground Forces.
- Kiumars Heidari, Commander of the Army's Ground Forces.
- Nasirzada - Commander of the Army Air Force.
Most of them were attacked in their homes, in bed. The entire command of the Iranian army and the Revolutionary Guards was eliminated or neutralized. "Iran" is completely transparent to our intelligence control.

UPDATE: The Mossad built a base of explosive drones that were infiltrated into the heart of Iran - and activated in an attack, reported Israeli journalist Amir Tsarfati.

In the aftermath of an Israeli strategic attack on Iran's nuclear and air defense capability, Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi is threatening but Iran has not acted decisively as of yet, reminiscent of the confusion after the Israeli surprise attack on the Hezbollah leadership months ago.

US leader Donald Trump has expressed readiness to defend Israel in case of a retaliatory strike by Iran, Fox News journalist Jennifer Griffin reported, reported Russian state news agency TASS.
"The president is looking to see if there is retaliation, CENTCOM (US Central Command - TASS) is on high alert, the US will defend itself and Israel if Iran retaliates," Griffin wrote on X.
"The Trump administration reached out to at least one key Middle Eastern ally to acknowledge that the strike was going to happen but that the US was not involved in the strikes and the goal is still to get Iran back to the negotiating table," Griffin added.
Unnamed US officials told Griffin that the US has in recent weeks increased its arsenal of missiles for Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system.
