Iran has vowed to respond 'harshly' to Israel's strikes on Tehran's nuclear facilities, which have taken out 'top Revolutionary Guard generals' and acclaimed scientists.
Israel launched a targeted military operation in Iran's capital early Friday in an effort to 'roll back the Iranian threat to Israel's very survival.'
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei responded to the airstrikes with a warning that Israel will face a 'severe punishment' for their actions.
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Commander Hossein Salami was killed in the strikes, Israeli military leaders reported on Thursday evening.
Explosions boomed across Tehran as simultaneous raids took place at nuclear and military sites, as well as the homes of highly sought after targets with knowledge of the state's nuclear program.
