06:02⇢Israel Hits Iran Nuclear Sites
⌨The newspapers report on Israel launching a major nighttime assault against Iranian nuclear facilities and military targets, killing high-ranking officials including Iran's army chief and Revolutionary Guard commander (Bild, FAZ, FR, Junge Freiheit, RP Online, Spiegel, Sueddeutsche, TAZ, Tagesspiegel, Welt, Zeit, merkur.de). Iran has responded by launching over 100 drones toward Israel, with Israeli authorities declaring a state of emergency and ordering citizens into shelters (RP Online, Zeit, merkur.de). German outlets describe this as the most severe escalation since the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s, with Tehran promising retaliation against what it calls the heaviest attack on its territory in decades (Junge Freiheit). The strikes represent a significant intensification from earlier "preventive" operations, with Israeli forces now directly targeting Iran's nuclear program infrastructure.
