US–Israel Intensify Strikes on Iran-Linked Military Sites, Natanz Facility Damaged, Qatar Arrests Two IRGC Secret Cells
Iranian Command Center Destroyed
According to US defense sources, a command center of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard was destroyed in a precision strike. Officials stated that the center was involved in regional military coordination and drone operations. However, Iran has not officially confirmed the incident.
Israel’s Action
Israel has announced targeting “strategic military centers” in Tehran and surrounding areas. Iranian state media condemned the attacks and warned of potential retaliatory measures.
Damage in Natanz
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that some buildings at the Natanz nuclear facility were affected. According to the agency, radiation levels remain normal, and monitoring of the situation continues. Natanz is Iran’s main uranium enrichment site and has previously been a target of attacks.
Security Alert in the Gulf
Qatar has arrested two cells linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Officials stated that the group may have been involved in sensitive activities. This is considered the first arrest following US and Israeli operations.
Operations in Iraq and Lebanon
A video has emerged showing an airstrike in the Al-Qaim area of central Iraq. It is claimed that the strike targeted Iran-backed militia positions. Independent verification is pending, but tensions in the region have escalated.
In Lebanon, rescue and relief operations continue after Israeli strikes in the Sadiyat and Aramoun areas. Local sources report at least six fatalities. Israel stated the strikes targeted “armed elements,” while residents claim residential areas were affected.
Hormuz and Global Trade
The US military said there are currently no active Iranian warships in the Strait of Hormuz or the Gulf of Oman. Hormuz is a critical route for global oil supply, and any military activity there could impact international markets.
Experts warn that recent developments could push the region toward a larger conflict. The United Nations and several countries have called for restraint and diplomatic solutions, but on-the-ground conditions remain deeply concerning.
