The Israeli army said on Friday that it carried out attacks in Tehran, Shiraz, and Ahvaz simultaneously, claiming to have targeted production and storage sites across the cities.

 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strikes had killed several Iranian nuclear scientists, claiming that a "new path of freedom” for Iran was on the horizon.
