The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and the Mossad spy agency have released videos showing some of the strikes that targeted Iranian air defenses and ballistic missiles in the framework of the attack on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear facilities that began on June 13.
Four videos released by the IDF showed strikes on ballistic missile launchers, some concealed within shipping containers. Notably, some of the launchers were hit while moving, while others were targeted inside hardened shelters.
The strikes were very likely carried out by Israeli combat drones. At least one IAI Heron drone was spotted over the city of Tabriz, the capital city of East Azerbaijan province in western Iran, before the IDF announced a series of strikes on a large ballistic missile base nearby.
Four other videos released by the Mossad showed Israeli commandos attacking Iranian air defenses, including at least one Tabas medium-range system, in addition to a ballistic missile launcher. The commandos used what appear to be Spike-type optical-guided anti-tank missiles and an unidentified type of loitering munitions.
The Mossad was reportedly behind a large-scale covert attack on Iranian air defense in the center of Iran, including around the capital of Tehran. Meanwhile, air defenses in the west of the country were hit from a stand-off distance by the Israeli Air Force (IAF).
Israel launched the attack, codenamed “Operation Rising Lion,” in the early morning, stating that its main goal was to cripple Iran’s nuclear program.
Several nuclear sites were hit in the first wave of strikes, with the IDF reporting extensive damage at the Natanz uranium enrichment facility in the central province of Isfahan.
Beside the strikes on the nuclear sites, air defenses and missile bases, some 20 senior military commanders and six nuclear scientists were assassinated.
The videos released by the IDF and Mossad indicate that the Iranian air defense network was seriously weakened. The attack on the country’s command and control structure likely contributed to this failure. It remains unclear how Iran will fix this situation and retaliate. A morning attack with some one hundred suicide drone was repelled by the IAF.

friday the 13 is western install evil day in which their believe look how their are going to regret.iran is not russia.persians are fighters.natayahu hit and run show is forever over.
i hope all zionist will burn with white phosphorus. there will be no peace before.
it is notable that trump did not negotiate in good faith. he was helping plan the sneak attack the whole time
no more diplomacy with trump. china and russia better take note.
i said this on here a few months ago. too bad iranian leadership isn’t as intelligent as a few random posters on sf!
but you speak without saying anithing is intelligent?
very obvious to a lot of yanks too now !
iran is finished. for israel to have drone bases and troops inside iran without anyone noticing, and for them to be able to assassinate all these people, indicates rampant corruption. i don’t think iran will survive this.
we don’t know yet. it’s still very early days. iran survived the iran/ iraq war, which was far worse than this. this may yet work out very badly for the zios/ jewsa. there’s still everything to play for.
humiliation continues: syria, russia (in ukraine) and now iran. soon all these will lick western toes. “yes massa, i will submit to you”.
future will not be that vladimir hoped.
nope the iranians will now have no choice but to mobilize and harden it’s civilian population against this covert terrorism act of war. you know damn well your head will explode if american top brass were assassinated.
derpster there is no such thing as “the west”. there is a decaying us empire with european and asian and oceanic vassals. that empire is being driven from the eurasian landmass, and its last-ditch efforts involve crippling europe economically and destabilizing the region to prevent integration with russia and china. this is why the jewish supremacist state is going all out before its host cannot feed it any longer.
there is something good for putin. price of oil rising. brent crude now 75 dollars. two days ago 65 dollars.
eu will put new roof for russian oil: 44 $. rooskies must obey and sell ural blend with very low price. this is true submission russia should get use to. all russian megalomanic bragging is now over.
russia will continue to sell to others outside the us-owned eu puppets. we’ve been watching this for years now. thanks for being a lazy shitcock.
jewu will be begging putin for oil soon. they will have to pay in advance, in gold.
or rouble. no counterfeit either. poots knows their tricks.
iran must destroy all the uszio bases in irak first followed by those in syria then drop all the bombs on israhell start with dimona and all military bases at once before destroying the rest .
the dimona (nuclear power plant) would be an interesting play by iran. they could go out and publicly state that since their nuclear facilities were targeted they have no choice but to target israeli nuclear facilities. shit would get interesting very fast after that. just the press conference would do massive damage to the israeli economy.
at the very least iran should bomb the shit out of amman jordan, during business hours including their presidential palace… the one with the two giant swords at the entrance.
russia betrayed syria, and now russia has betrayed iran.
there is a rumor floating around that an israeli f-35 has been shor down by an f-14 tomcat. i guess pete mitchell is now flying for the iranians…..
update: iran has apologized to america for shooting down the f-35; they didn’t know it was supposed to be invisible…..
tom cruise
i’d love to see the video of the fucktarded iranian generals trying to get their zoom meeting to work as the building collapses on them. iran lost 20 senior members in a single night. they aren’t ready for the big leagues.
got a lavatory in the air raid shelter ?
israel targets leadership. everyone else targets grunts.
and you wonder why israel always wins.
they may be evil but they are not stupid, like the rest of the world.
so the antichrist keeps getting stronger.
trump and congress are full members of the israel pirate cult . the us is being used just like ukrainians . to steal all that oil and gas .
arabs and persians are blowhards. they never fulfill their threats.
iran will do nothing significant in the face of this act of war.
the persians don’t tend to make a lot of threats, unlike the jewish supremacists and their american hosts.
if we are talking about noise…the american jewish circus makes lots of noises. most of them are animal noises
very bad behaviour of iran they really got caught of guard…bad intelligence, they should’ve retaliated right after now they look weak. south front where was your coverage of your zionist attack are you censoring everything.
oh no, the look weak! now they won’t get that hand-job betty-sue promised if they won the football game. thanks for derping.
yes, they’re acting really weak at the present
the huttis are the only ones who match israeli in their fighting will.
what’s with all the decorations around your name ?
israel had to show that iran is a scared bitch…heheheh
there are a lot of scared shlomos scurrying round tel aviv like roaches right now. heheheh
lots of jews running around like rats in israel. your piglet leader even had to take to the skies lolololol. imagine that, you have ussa and uk defending you yet tel aviv is still burning
leaders of iran are now fertilizer…heheheh
oopsy, i guess they didnt destroy enough missles. tel aviv is burning and yids are running around like rats
most of the videos that purport to be zio strikes on iran show lorries/trucks being hit by drones and could have been taken anywhere. the zios are following the ukronazi tradition of putting out fake news
