Kill the most important Iranian military leaders, rather than hitting nuclear sites, was the main objective of the attack on Israel started on the night between Thursday and Friday. In the raids, in fact, both the Pasdaran commander were killed, Hossein salami, both the chief of staff Mohammad Bagheri, The highest soldier capable of Iran, who had to respond only to the supreme guidance Ali Khamenei, who is the country’s main political and religious authority.
The Iran military apparatus is made up of two distinct armed forces, like two large armies that must be coordinated with each other. The first force are the Guardians of the revolution (or revolutionary guards), Created after 1979 and also known as Pasdaran, and the second are the regular armed forces.
Pasdaran are considered more robust from the point of view of ideology and have more resources available. In the event of an emergency there is an interforce command called Khatam at Anbiyadeals with coordinating the two military forces of Iran and was commanded by General Gholamali Rashid.
The Israelis also killed him, showing that they have precise information on the location of the most important soldiers. He was also killed Amir Ali Hajizadeh, The head of the aviation of the Guardians of the Revolution, which managed the missile program and Iranian aerial defense systems, and had conceived various attacks against Israel.
Within a few hours, before dawn on Friday, Iran found himself under attack and without military leaders. After a day of bombs and threats, on Friday evening the Ayatollah regime responded with the launch of at least 150 ballistic missiles, some of which have pierced the proverbial Israeli aerial defense: explosions, fires and slightly injured were recorded in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem while the sirens resonated, with the population closed in the shelters. Tehran then claimed that he had killed two Israelis jets and that he “caught a woman’s pilot”news denied then by Israel.
Tsahal hunting bombed “over 200 objectives”, between nuclear sites, launches and drones, strategic military infrastructures of the Islamic Republic. The articulated Iranian military command was literally decimated, as well as the team of nuclear scientists who led the race to the atomic bomb.
The preventive attack announced in the middle of the night by the Minister of Defense Israel Katz He has obtained expected results for decades, but with a price to pay: «The Zionist regime will have a bitter and painful destiny, with serious and destructive consequences. We will open the doors of Hell », threatened the new commander of the revolutionary guards Mohammad Pakpour, Appointed shortly after after the killing of the powerful predecessor Hossein Salami.
The Israeli premier Benyamin Netanyahu He had declared to expect “different waves of Iranian attacks”. The first, with a hundred drones, was stopped by the defense systems that knocked them down before they entered the Israeli airspace. Then in the evening the maximum alert for an attack from Iran – the “real promise 3” operation – communicated by the army arrived on the cell phones of all the people who are in the territory of the country, prelude to at least three waves of ballistic missiles from Iran. The Israeli operation, called the nascent Leone, arrives on the eve of the sixth round of interviews between the USA and Iran, expected in Oman Sunday, immediately canceled.
“Israel’s military action against Iran was excellent,” he commented Donald Trump. «We gave Tehran a chance and did not take it. They were affected very hard, “said the American president, indicating that there will be” many other attacks “. However, the US president decided to leave an open door to the Islamic Republic again: «Two months ago he gave Iran a 60 -day last -last one to make an agreement. Today is day 61. Now they have, perhaps, a second chance, “he wrote on Truth. And he reiterated: Iran “He cannot have a nuclear bomb, we hope to return to the negotiation table”.
The president then added that he had been informed of the attack by Jerusalem. The Israeli premier instead entrusted to a video the message to citizens to explain the decision to attack: «They were trying to accelerate production and manufacture 300 ballistic missiles per month, equal to 10,000 missiles in three years, 20,000 in six, each with a ton of explosive. It is how to drop bus loads full of explosives on Israeli cities: this too is an existential threat“, he said. But today the hunting of IF fell to the explosive tons, hitting the enrichment system of Natanz’s uranium on several occasions, that of Fordow, and the Isfahan website.
According to defense officials, the damage is huge, but Tehran diminishes: “Only on the surface and there are no victims”.
