Israel expanded its attack on Iran on June 14, launching additional strikes against the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program and military capabilities.
Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin, a spokesman for the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), said that over 70 Israeli Air Force (IAF) fighter jets participated in overnight strikes on Tehran to achieve aerial freedom of action over the Iranian capital.
Some 40 sites were targeted, including air defense systems and related assets, according to the spokesman, who revealed that IAF fighter jets and drones flew right over Tehran for some two and a half hours while conducting the strikes overnight.
“The dozens of aircraft are flying freely over Tehran, thanks to the opening blow that removed the threat of Iranian air defense systems,” he said. “Tehran is no longer immune; the capital is exposed to Israeli strikes.
Separately, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir and Israeli Air Force chief Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar said in a published assessment that “the way to Tehran has been paved.”
“According to the plans, air force fighter jets will begin to carry out strikes on targets in Tehran,” the military added.
The IAF confirmed in another statement that its fighter jets flew over Tehran, adding that the attack on the Islamic Republic, codenamed “Operation Rising Lion,” was “advancing according to the plan” and “working well.”
In the same statement, the air force said that it is working to disrupt attempts by Iran to launch massive ballistic missile barrages on Israel, with fighter jets flying over the launch sites. As time goes on, Iran’s ability to launch missiles at Israel will be slowly degraded, it added.
A video released by the IAF shows the identification of Iranian ballistic missile launchers in Tehran, shortly before they were targeted.
Two other videos showing separate strikes on other Iranian ballistic missile launchers, which were reportedly aimed at Israel, were later released by the air force.
Early in the morning, blasts were reported at Mehrabad International Airport near Tehran, home to the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) 11 Tactical Fighter Squadron which operates MiG-29 fighter jets. Fire and heavy smoke were seen rising from the airport.
Other strikes were reported near the central city of Isfahan. The IDF later announced several critical sections at the Isfahan nuclear site, including uranium conversion infrastructure and labs, were hit. The military also denied targeting the Fordow nuclear facility, despite Iran reporting damage there.
Later in the day, more Israeli strikes hit northwestern the city of Tabriz as well as parts of the western provinces of Lorestan, Hamedan, and Kermanshah. Two people were killed in an Israeli attack on a missile site in Assadabad in western Iran, according to Iranian media.
Iran’s state TV also confirmed the death of two more senior commanders, General Gholamreza Mehrabi, deputy head of intelligence of the armed forces general staff, and General Mehdi Rabbani, deputy head of operations. It’s worth noting that some 20 commanders were killed in Israel’s opening strikes on the Islamic Republic.
In addition, the IDF revealed that it has so far assassinated nine nuclear scientists. The military identified the nine as Fereydoon Abbasi, expert in nuclear engineering; Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi, expert in physics; Akbar Motalebi Zadeh, expert in chemical engineering; Saeed Barji, expert in materials engineering; Amir Hassan Fakhahi, expert in physics; Abd al-Hamid Minoushehr, expert in reactor physics; Mansour Asgari, expert in physics; Ahmad Reza Zolfaghari Daryani, expert in nuclear engineering; and Ali Bakhouei Katirimi, expert in mechanics.
All in all, the confrontation appears to be still far from over. Iran is reportedly preparing to escalate strikes on Iran. Over the past day, more than 200 ballistic missiles and 100 drones were launched by the Islamic Republic, killing three and wounding some 70 others in Israel. On the Iranian side, at least 78 people have been killed and at least 329 others have been wounded, so far.

burn all jews to death.
live stream it while they are burning to death.
can you please stop being an idiot? you idiot should want to kill all governments, not innocent people. you should want to kill governments, industrialists, bankers, journalists, and their satanic priests.
burn all iranian nazis loyal to the assahola regime to the bottomless pit
the cult of satan in his forms moloch and baal…..the zionist entity has signed off on its illegitimacy. amerika’s achilles heel. always the loose cannon on the block, who like ukraine, go through ordnance like welfare queens..with a negative retur n on investment
🫵🤡 😆😆😆
governments, industrialists, bankers, journalists and their satanic priests should go to hell, because that’s where they want to go anyway. all these traitors to humanity and to god must die and go to hell immediately so that humanity can build a true civilization.
les promesses n’engagent que ceux qui y croient ! l’iran promet ? ça fait deux jours qu’israel les pilonne et à part une timide réaction avec des drones qui ont été détruits à 90%, on a vu quoi ? rien.
otherwise, israel has beheaded the revolutionary guards and the scientific staff responsible for nuclear power! that’s concrete. when iran’s shots wound 30, israel’s kill 300. in other words, iran will be unable to do anything in this confrontation except acknowledge its losses and utter anathemas!!
we are witnessing once again that it makes no difference the only ones who fight war effectivly are the western nations. so the question is if the west wanted would this allready have happened to russia or even china? it seems all the talk about former kgb or any nonwestern intel is just a made up story same as their air defences. the systems may be good but they lack the integration with intel and combined approach the west uses.
the speech on the s400 sieve proves it, just look at the code name of the iranian operation, it recalls the first and the second, with the success we know 😅😂
yes, they fought very effectivley in korea, vietnam and afghanistan. that’s why they won all those conflicts. ‘member when the us rolled into pyongyang in 1953 for their victory parade?
i think psyops are being played from both sides. do you really think a handful of scientists can make or break nuclear development? when they already implemented the knowledge and disseminated it? when there are tens of thousands of people working on nuclear energy throughout the country?
the iranians that are filming these fragments sound relieved almost happy. its the power of the narratives again – the mullahs reap what they sow – thousands upon thousands of deaths in the iraq war – clearing the iraqi minefields with donkeys and useless eaters. so the old never defeated savak acts as a huge 5th column. the fatamorgana has stranded, let see where the turban guys are sailing on their carpets.
the us puppet in baghdad attacked iran after the us installed khomeini. you don’t have to be a shitcock if you don’t want to. admitting you have a problem with being a shitcock is the first step. best of luck to you.
usual lies from the zio whore media. a huge demonstration in tehran against the jewsa was passed off as an “uprising against the mullahs.”
why are you responding to an english language article in french? because you’re a shitcock, of course.
interestingly enough pro russian channels went within one year from israel is doomed to iran might soon collapse. the pro russian blogosphere is allready distancing and writing off iran.
logique! il ne faut pas oublier que la russie est dirigé par les juifs, occident ou russie c’est pareil, les deux sont leur soumis
did you oublié that you’re responding to an english language article, shitcock?
depends who donates opinion change
iran is a sitting duck
they never planned to win an air battle with israel. why is it that people can be aware of all this content about someone digging underground tunnels and fully aware they cannot win an air war, and then once the combat actually starts, they suddenly claim that it was meant to be an air battle and that all is lost
weird, what with unrelenting israeli espionage for forty years, a year renewed state of emergency in the us pertaining to iran for forty-six year and sanctions for that whole period.
the israelis had an elaborate plan to defeat yemen as well and could not complete it. this conflict will end with iran still able to launch missiles into israel and onto netanyahu’s head when he tries to make a speech
they’ll have to track him down to his british base in cyprus first.
iraq, libya, lebanon, yemen, syria, now iran. they are doing with americas agenda. the j3ws want a weak middle east to easily control. what they plan middle east will eventually be for europe, j3ws want to run the world and k1ll off anyone who does not kiss their 4ss. with usa help they are slowly achieving this.
they control the west since more than a century.
russia should have shot those planes out of the sky. now its to late for iran. russias will to defend allies will also be tested in korea … after all the small proxy allies are knocked out russia will remain alone … putin need to go if russia does not want nato pre emptive strikes as we see here.
‘member when the us tried north korea and china last time, shitcock?
once fpv drone infiltration is over in iran…propaganda is also finish while hundreds od missile will fall in tel aviv..
real iranian promise3🤣🤣, israel attacks iranian gas fields
psychotic jewish supremacist terrorists gonna terrorize!
if allowed, iran will be obliterated just like gaza. and it will continue on and on against any and all countries that stand up to the judeo-masonic cabal.
someone’s jealous
all good, righteous persons are absolutely disgusted with five eyes, nato, and israel foreign policy and warmongering. myself included. and the biggest elephant in the room: china: now understands that the judeo-masonic demonoids only understand the language of the sword. so good luck playing your pseudo-displomatic games in the years to come.
muslims really need to blame turkeys muslim president coward for not helping is muslim neighbors
the muslim world is highly corrupt and fragmented, starting with the fake muslim sunni gulf states and jordan which are the biggest threat to stability in the region. if it wasn’t for them, israel would not have been able to use wahhabi terrorists to topple gadaffi and assad.
even now, sunni states remain silent because they see themselves closer to to the jew than the shia persian even though the shia is a fellow muslim. they see iran as the biggest regional competitor and have a blindspot on israel and usa due to their many business interests. but incr they’re the last obstacle to the greater israel expansion — they too will be backstabbed and absorbed.
yes, because turkey can go toe-to-toe with the us and it’s degenerate jewish supremacist hitman.
this is not a competition for food.. but iran is kaput
avraham stern, is that you?
israel as always propoganda . if israeli airforce is flying in tehran then where is the airfirce of iran who has atleast 20 aircraft . so this is lies israel is flying small drone with camers to guide attack there is no plane in iran flying from israel.
200 aircraft jet
the israeli air force has complete air superiority over iran. russian wunderweapons failed miserably 🇷🇺=🤡 😆😆😆
remember when southfront idiots thought “the axis of resistance” was winning against israel?
eheheheh…you dumb orc bastads!!!
the only real question is when will israel become a bad memory in earths history
iran is exposed as a paper tiger!!!
eheheheh
russia lost 120 generals in 1941 kia and more killed by stalin in the october 1941 purge. the losses of iranian can be made good but how did that happen not exactly a novel approach by the israelis. predictable. presumably, the idf generals have bunkers in their homes to avoid such a gambit.
penetration of iran expanding persianus…eheheheh
where is russia? sleeping?
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahaha haha
first hit, then think
well done clever, king trump
arrest , deport, repeat
(or in 10 years there will be civil war between illegal migrants and us citizens and
please change all democ(rats) generals and police administrators which planning coup against you and first start from lapd)
maga (make america great again)
you can continue yelling and crying in the streets democ(rats).
hehe iran getting annihilated. alu akbar not working. iran can’t even launch missiles accurately to take out military and refineries in israel and no more missile launches. all their capability destroyed in one day. hehe persians are useless.
iran no better than hezbollah or hamas getting crushed. the country will end up further back in the stone age now. us, israel eu and uk control iran and the rest of the world. russia pooping pants what’s coming for them once nato and g7 countries get their act together.
the g7 countries that couldn’t handle the taliban goat-herds and their 1980’s soviet military collectibles? thanks for shitcocking, shitcock.
🫵🤡 😆😆😆
if that’s the best you can do, that’s the best you can do.
