02:43⇢Israel Strikes Iran Nuclear Sites
⌨The newspapers report that Israel has launched a major military operation against Iran, targeting nuclear facilities and military installations across the country. Israeli forces struck at least six Iranian military sites, with reports claiming the death of Iran's Revolutionary Guards Chief and Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri (Aaj Tak, Dainik Bhaskar, Jagran, Zee News). The operation, dubbed "Operation Rising Lion" by Netanyahu, is expected to continue for several days and represents a significant escalation in Middle East tensions (Mathrubhumi). The United States has distanced itself from the strikes, stating it had no involvement in the Israeli attack (ABP Live, Firstpost). Simultaneously, Prime Minister Modi is traveling to Ahmedabad today to visit the Air India crash site, where the death toll has now risen to 265 people in what authorities describe as the worst aviation disaster in a decade (India Today, Dinamalar, Jansatta, The Hindu).
