The Israeli occupation continued its cross-border aggression against Iran on Friday, launching a wave of coordinated strikes targeting multiple provinces across the country.

Iranian state media reported that one of the key targets was the Natanz nuclear facility in Isfahan province. The site, a cornerstone of Iran's nuclear infrastructure, has previously been the focus of Israeli sabotage operations.

In the northwest, a fire broke out at Tabriz Airport in East Azerbaijan Province following a direct Israeli strike.

Footage shared online showed smoke and flames rising from the airport, accompanied by the caption, "Tabriz Airport Now." Iranian television also reported hearing explosions in the vicinity.

Tasnim News Agency confirmed that earlier in the day, at least ten different sites in East Azerbaijan Province were struck, with the attacks resulting in the deaths of at least three individuals. The agency described the offensive as part of a larger campaign aimed at destabilizing Iran’s critical infrastructure.

Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported that additional Israeli aggression extended to the western provinces, targeting the cities of Qasr-e Shirin and Kangavar in Kermanshah province, marking a significant geographic spread of the Israeli attacks.

On another note, the Iranian Fars news agency reported 78 martyrs and 329 injuries as a result of the Israeli aggression on residential areas in Tehran. 

Additionally, the IRGC reported the martyrdom of the Commander of the IRGC's aerospace force, Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the Commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force's Air Defense General Davood Sheikhian, and the Deputy for Operations Affairs of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Brigadier General Mehdi Rabbani, along with his wife and children.

This comes after Al Mayadeen confirmed that the Commander-in-Chief of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), Major General Hossein Salami,  and the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Major General Mohammad Bagheri, along with his daughter, have been martyred in the Israeli aggression on Iran.

Iranian media also confirmed the martyrdom of the Commander of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters, Major General Gholam Ali Rashid, and his son in the attack.

Meanwhile, the advisor to the Leader of the Islamic Republic, Admiral Ali Shamkhani, has been severely injured and has since been hospitalized. Additionally, six nuclear scientists were confirmed killed in the Israeli aggression.

The scientists have been identified as Abdulhamid Minouchehr, Ahmad Reza Zolfaghari, Seyed Amir Hossein Faghahi, Khalil Motallebzadeh, Mohammad Mahdi Tehranchi, and Fereydoun Abbasi.

'Israel' launches massive aggression on Iran

The first wave of attacks was carried out on Friday at dawn. "Israel" targeted residential buildings, nuclear facilities, and military infrastructure across Iran.

 In an official statement, the occupation military said it carried out a “precise, preemptive strike” in Iran, “with the goal of damaging Iran’s nuclear program."

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Iran reported hearing multiple explosions in the capital, Tehran. Footage circulating on social media documented severe damage to a number of residential buildings in the Iranian capital. 

The Israeli military dubbed the operation “Rising Lion".
