The Israeli occupation launched its assault on Iran early Friday, targeting Tehran as well as the provinces of Isfahan, Kermanshah, Lorestan, and Hamadan, resulting in several casualties, including senior military commanders such as 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, General Mohammad Bagheri, as well as prominent nuclear scientists.
The assault was renewed later in the day, hitting multiple Iranian cities and nuclear facilities.
US President Donald Trump confirmed that Washington was aware of "Israel’s" intention to carry out strikes against Iran, reiterating unwavering American support for Tel Aviv.
Earlier on Saturday, Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, Amir Saeed Iravani, accused the United States of being complicit by supporting and enabling crimes, asserting that Washington "shares responsibility".
AFP also cited Iravani as saying that Israeli attacks on Iran have left 78 killed and 320 injured.
