A senior Israeli security official revealed that the entire Israeli Air Force is fully mobilized and actively engaged in the operation, disclosing new details about the multi-phase strike. Meanwhile, a senior Iranian official claims the United States actively assisted Israel by refueling its aircraft en route to Iranian targets.
The first wave of the attack targeted Iran’s General Staff Headquarters and the central intelligence command in Tehran. The second wave struck nuclear facilities and missile infrastructure across the country. The third wave focused on eliminating dozens of senior Iranian military and government officials.
Simultaneously, additional aircraft launched coordinated strikes on other nuclear facilities in various regions of Iran.
Iranian sources have confirmed direct hits on multiple nuclear facilities, including:
- Natanz Reactor - Natanz nuclear reactor, one of the country’s most vital enrichment centers, has been destroyed.
- Tabriz – In northern Iran, Iranian opposition sources report that nuclear facilities and the Iranian air defense site in Tabriz were struck.
- Missile Bases – Large fires have been reported at multiple Iranian missile bases, including in Kermanshah, known as one of Iran’s most fortified underground “missile cities.”
A senior Iranian military spokesperson accused Israel of carrying out the strikes “with direct assistance from the United States,” claiming that U.S. refueling aircraft provided mid-air support to Israeli warplanes en route to their targets.
“Israel will pay a heavy price for this aggression, and the United States should expect a harsh response,” said an Iranian military spokesperson.
Air Defenses Disabled, Airspace Compromised
Iran’s air defense systems were reportedly neutralized in the opening phase of the attack. According to one Israeli source, the Israeli Air Force has achieved full operational control over Iran’s airspace, disabling radar and air defense coverage across several regions.
This operational dominance allowed Israeli aircraft to conduct deep-penetration strikes with minimal resistance, hitting hardened bunkers, command centers, and subterranean facilities.
Internal Fallout
Meanwhile the Iranian public and media outlets have begun asking pointed questions, expressing frustration over what appears to be a catastrophic failure of preparedness:
- Why were top generals gathered at the central command headquarters at the time of the strikes?
- Why did senior nuclear scientists and military leaders fail to take basic precautions despite rising tensions?
Iranian cabinet ministers are reportedly being sheltered in a secure underground compound as fears of follow-up strikes or internal instability grow.
Economic and Strategic Assets Also Hit
- Central Oil Refinery Destroyed - An explosion and fire were reported at what Iranian officials identified as the country’s primary oil refinery suggesting the strikes were not limited to nuclear and military infrastructure.
- Missile Storage in Kermanshah – Reports confirm the destruction of major underground missile depots, further crippling Iran’s retaliatory capabilities.
