Ali Shamkhani Targeted in Israeli Airstrike on Iran

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei's advisor, Admiral Ali Shamkhani, has been severely injured in an Israeli airstrike on Iran, which also killed several high-ranking military officials, including General Mohammad Bagheri and Hossein Salami. The airstrike, part of Israel's "Operation Rising Lion," targeted over 60 sites in Iran, including nuclear scientists and military facilities.

The Israeli airstrike, which utilized over 200 fighter jets, has been widely condemned by Iran, with Supreme Leader Khamenei vowing "harsh punishment" for Israel. Iran has also accused the US of being involved in the attack, claiming it couldn't have been carried out without US coordination. The attack has resulted in significant damage to Iran's military capabilities and nuclear infrastructure.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has confirmed the attack, stating that the goal was to strike Iran's nuclear infrastructure, ballistic missile factories, and military capabilities. The operation has also targeted nuclear scientists working on the Iranian bomb, including Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani and Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi. Civilians were also killed in residential areas in Tehran, adding to the growing humanitarian concerns.

The situation remains tense, with Iran threatening to retaliate against Israel and the US. The international community is closely monitoring the situation, with concerns about the potential escalation of violence in the region. The attack has significant implications for regional stability and global security, and it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold in the coming days.
