As the Iran-Israel war enters its fifth day, Israel claims another senior Iranian general, Ali Sadmani, has been killed in its strikes. Iran has not commented on Israel's claim. After US President Donald Trump left the G-7 summit early and did not return to Washington saying that he would take the initiative for a ceasefire, Israel claimed that the Iranian general, who was appointed only on Friday, had been killed.
Since Israel started attacking Iran last Friday, Iran's military leadership has received a major shock. Iran has lost at least 11 senior generals in the Israeli attack. On Tuesday morning, the Israeli army said it had killed Major General Sadmani. He is Iran's most senior military commander. He was appointed to the post by Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei just four days ago. He replaced senior general Golamli Rashid, who was killed by Israel early in the attack.
Israeli officials are pressuring the US to get directly involved in the war by dropping its massive 'bunker busting bomb - massive ordnance penetrator'. It is the only weapon capable of destroying Iran's Fordow nuclear site. Which is only with America. Israel launched surprise attacks on dozens of targets inside Iran after the fighting began on Friday. This included nuclear sites. Several top Iranian military leaders were killed in the same attack.
Since the start of the war, at least 224 people have died and more than 1,400 have been injured in Israeli attacks, according to Iran's Ministry of Health. At least 24 people were killed and 600 people were injured in Israel as a result of Iran's retaliatory action.
The Israeli military launched an airstrike on Tuesday morning targeting a drone and missile launch center in western Iran. According to the chief spokesman of the Israeli army, General Effie Defrin, since the start of the attack against Iran, the Israeli army has destroyed more than 120 missile launchers of Iran.
Similarly, the Iranian army also fired missiles at Israel on Tuesday morning. Israel then called on its citizens to move to safe havens until further notice. Iranian missiles also reportedly hit Israel's largest oil refinery in northern Israel's Haifa Bay.
On the other hand, the United Nations nuclear watchdog said on Tuesday that Israel's attack on the underground enrichment center of the Iranian nuclear site Natanz had a direct impact. Israel targeted the site on Friday and the watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, initially said the attack only affected the power infrastructure, the upstream part of the fuel enrichment plant.
Similarly, the member countries participating in the ongoing G-7 conference in Canada have expressed concern over the Israel-Iran war. They issued a joint statement and appealed to reduce tension with Iran. But they say Israel has every right to protect itself. They insist that there should be a ceasefire in Gaza. The G-7 nations have insisted that Iran should not have nuclear weapons.
As the Iran-Israel war escalates, many countries have issued travel advisories for Israel and Iran. In view of the war between the two countries, most of the countries have asked their citizens to return home. But both Iran and Israel have closed their airspace to commercial flights. Because of that, many countries have started rescue flights to take their citizens to the neighboring countries of Iran and Israel through the land route.
