Israel and the US have attacked Iran, which reportedly caused the death of Iranian Defense Minister Amir Nasirzadeh and the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Mohammed Pakpour. According to regional intelligence sources and reports from the Reuters agency, which the Argentine News Agency had access to, senior Iranian military commanders were killed during a series of coordinated attacks this Saturday. The escalation of tensions in the Middle East opens the door to an open war between Israel, the United States, and Tehran. The offensive, defined by Israeli authorities as an operation to "eliminate the threats looming over the State of Israel," provoked an immediate reaction from the Persian regime, which has already begun a counter-offensive with waves of missiles and drones. Given the magnitude of the events, the government of Benjamin Netanyahu has declared a "special and immediate state of emergency" throughout its territory, while air raid sirens alert the civilian population to an "extremely serious" scenario.
In addition to Nasirzadeh and Pakpour, reports indicate that this Saturday's attacks targeted the residences and command centers of the Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, and President Masoud Pezeshkian. While Israeli sources confirm the casualties among the top military leadership, the Tehran regime has maintained a degree of caution in its official statements, although it has acknowledged the death of commanders in the bombings.
