Explosions were reported across Tehran; Iran’s Revolutionary Guard commander Gen. Hossein Salami, top military officials, and two nuclear scientists are believed dead . Air-raid sirens rang nationwide, with both Israeli and Iranian airspace closed amid declared national emergencies . Prime Minister Netanyahu framed the strike as essential to neutralize imminent nuclear threats. The US, led by Secretary Rubio, denied involvement while urging Iran against targeting American interests.
