ATTENTION:

Thread 1 of 2:

The current military situation in the Middle East involving Israel (IS) and Iran (IR) is volatile & marked by a significant escalation in direct conflict between both nations.

Background: The last 48-72 hrs escalated when Israel launched a large-scale air campaign, codenamed "Operation Rising Lion," targeting IR's nuclear facilities, military infrastructure, and senior leadership. This followed intel indicating IR had amassed enough enriched uranium to produce up to 15 NUCs w/in days. IR retaliated with missile and drone attacks on IS, leading to a cycle of strikes and counterstrikes.

Key players: IS, supported by U.S. intell but not direct military involvement (yet), is engaged in offensive operations against IR. IR, backed by its "Axis of Resistance" (including HZ, the Houthis, Hamas), is responding with retaliatory strikes. Other regional actors, such as SY, JO, TU and SA, play peripheral roles, with varying degrees of involvement.

Key Tactical Developments:

IS conducted over 200 airstrikes targeting IR's nuclear infrastructure (Natanz, Esfahan, and possibly Fordow), ballistic missile bases (Kermanshah Province), air defense systems, and command-and-control structures. These strikes killed key IR military figures, including IRGC Commander Hossein Salami, top military official Mohammad Hossein Bagheri, and nuclear scientists Fereydoon Abbasi and Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi. UNCONFIRMED reports the Ayatollah is wounded.

IS employed advanced tactics, including kamikaze drones launched from within IR, which disrupted air defenses and delayed IR's immediate counterattack capabilities.

The operation aimed to degrade IR's nuclear program, suppress air defenses, and disrupt its ability to retaliate effectively. Satellite imagery confirmed the destruction of a major missile storage facility in Kermanshah.
