Iranian media reported strikes on Tehran on Friday morning after Israel launched a “pre-emptive” attack on nuclear and military sites across Iran, marking a major escalation that brings the two countries to the brink of all-out war. Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz warned of retaliation from Iran, saying “a missile and drone attack against the state of Israel and its civilian population is expected in the immediate future”. Iranian state media announced Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Commander-in-Chief Maj Gen Hossein Salami was killed in the strikes, along with another senior IRGC figure. Two nuclear scientists were also reportedly killed.
