Israel kills three top IRGC commanders in targeted airstrikes, hitting Iran's proxy network hard. The strikes eliminated key figures behind arms and funding to terror groups, escalating regional tensions.

Its military proxies -- especially Hezbollah, once considered its most powerful -- have been significantly weakened.

In the latest wave of attacks, Israel said it had struck Iran's Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites. It initially said it had also hit Bushehr, site of Iran's only functioning nuclear power plant, but a spokesperson later said it was a mistake to have said this.
