Tehran: In a major escalation, Iran fired a suicide drone—using its UAV for the first time against Israel in the ongoing conflict. A video had surfaced showing Iranian forces intensifying their offensive, with no sign of peace prevailing in the region.

A chilling video had also surfaced showing the Iranian Army launching several Arash-1 and Arash-2 drones toward targets in the Israeli-occupied territories.

While Iran used suicide drones against Israel, the Israeli Defence Forces confirmed that they eliminated another commander Behnam Shahriyari of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

The IDF termed the operation as precise and bold strike 1,000 kms deep in enemy's territory.

Behnam Shahriyari was the commander of the Quds Force’s Weapons Transfer Unit in the IRGC. He oversaw the covert logistics of transferring weapons and technology to Iran’s regional allies, fuelling proxy wars across the Middle East.

According to the IDF, Shahriyari was responsible for all transfers of weaponry from the Iranian regime to its proxies across the Middle East and worked for years to arm various terror organisations in order to directly advance the Iranian regime's plan of destroying Israel.

Israel hits Isfahan nuclear site in Iran used for uranium re-conversion  

On Friday, Iran said that they won't negotiate over its nuclear program under pressure. They also informed that Israel targeted its another critical military establishment, the Isfahan nuclear facility.

Israel’s second precision strike on the Isfahan nuclear facility last night neutralised additional significant components of the Iranian regime’s military nuclear program.

Isfahan is one of many scattered nuclear facilities, a site crucial to the production of a nuclear bomb.

Taking to X, Israeli Defence Forces in a post said, “Israel will continue to eliminate all components of the regime’s military nuclear program. This is the site in Isfahan where reconversion of enriched uranium takes place, in the process of developing a nuclear weapon. The IAF had already struck the site, and last night we struck it again in a wide-scale strike to reinforce our achievements.” 

This is how it looks now

"Overnight, we deepened the strike on the nuclear site in Isfahan and in western Iran. On the screen, you can see the site where reconversion of enriched uranium takes place. This is the stage following enrichment in the process of developing a nuclear weapon. We had already struck the site in the operation’s opening blow—and last night, we struck it again in a wide-scale strike to reinforce our achievements. This is how the site now looks following the latest strike,” the IDF added.
