Israel has escalated its bombardment of Iranian cities, including Tehran's state television headquarters; Iranian missiles have struck Tel Aviv.

Trump said that "we know exactly where the so-called 'Supreme Leader' is hiding." "He is an easy target, but is safe there - We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now," he continued.

When Israel launched its series of strikes against Iran last week, it also issued a number of dire warnings about the country’s nuclear program, suggesting Iran was fast approaching a point of no return in its quest to obtain nuclear weapons and that the strikes were necessary to preempt that outcome.

Iranian sites such as the Isfahan nuclear technology centre, Shiraz missile production facility, Tabriz north missile base, and more have been struck by Israel.

Fordo is Iran’s second nuclear enrichment facility after Natanz, its main facility, which already has been targeted by Israeli airstrikes. The IAEA said Tuesday it believes the strikes have had “direct impacts” on the facility’s underground centrifuge halls.

Israel has said it has "eliminated" one of Iran's top military commanders. "For the second time in 5 days—the IDF has eliminated Iran's War-Time Chief of Staff, the regime's top military commander," Israel Defense Forces said in a post on X.
