$BTC Here are the latest updates on the Israeli-Iranian conflict in brief:

Main Israeli strike on Iran

This morning, Israel conducted a large-scale preventive military operation—named "Operation Rising Lion" (Am KeLavi)—targeting nuclear facilities, missile factories, military sites, high-ranking IRGC commanders, and nuclear energy scientists in Tehran and other locations.

High-profile casualties

Among the reported fatalities was IRGC Commander Major General Hossein Salami, two nuclear energy scientists (Fereydoun Abbasi and Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi), and likely other high-ranking military officers.

Impact on civilians

Iranian state media reported explosions in residential areas of Tehran, resulting in civilian casualties, including children, due to the attacks.

Israel announces extended operation

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the campaign "will continue as long as necessary," announcing that Israel is at a "decisive moment in history."

US refrains from engagement

The US government confirmed that it was not involved in the attacks. Secretary of State Rubio emphasized that protecting American forces is Washington's priority and warned Iran against retaliating against American personnel.

Iran promises a harsh response

Tehran declared that it would respond with a "harsh and decisive" counterattack, and high-level leadership discussions are currently ongoing.

Regional effects of the wave

The attacks led to the closure of airspace over Israel and Iraq, disruptions in commercial flights, and an increase in global oil prices. Many governments, including the UN Secretary-General, Australia, and New Zealand, condemned the escalation.
