Iran SHOCKED: Top IRGC Commander Gheybparvar DEAD After Chemical Injuries | Khaemeni Vows Revenge

Iran's General Gheybpavar Dies Mysteriously, Israel's Hit On 20 Top Commanders Exposed | World News The Middle East is on high alert as the shadow war between Iran and Israel erupts into open conflict, with Tehran now mourning the loss of a key military figure. In a major development, prominent Iranian Brigadier General Gholamhossein Gheybpavar has died. While initial reports from Iran's Fars News Agency attribute his death to long-standing chemical injuries from the Iran-Iraq war, the timing raises critical questions. His passing comes in the immediate aftermath of "Operation Rising Lion," a massive, covert Israeli operation on June 13 that has reportedly sparked a full-scale war between the two nations. This operation is said to be the cause of death for nearly 20 other top Iranian commanders, making Gheybpavar's death highly suspicious. The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) allegedly targeted critical Iranian infrastructure, including nuclear facilities, missile sites, and military bases across Tehran, Natanz, and Isfahan. The strikes were precise and devastating, with raids in Tabriz, Kermanshah, and Tehran successfully eliminating a significant portion of Iran's senior military leadership. This has created a power vacuum and a crisis within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Brig. Gen. Gheybpavar was a formidable figure in Iran's military establishment, having previously led the powerful Basij paramilitary force and the IRGC's Fajr Corps. His death leaves a significant void, even as Iran scrambles to fill key leadership roles with a new generation of officers. The situation remains tense and unpredictable, with the world watching to see what happens next in the escalating Iran-Israel conflict. #Iran #Israel #GheyBparvar #IRGC #Basij #MiddleEastConflict #IranIsraelWar #IranNews #BreakingNews #OperationRisingLion #IranIraqWar #MilitaryLeadership #FajrCorps #IDFStrikes #IranCommanders #ChemicalInjuries #Tehran #Natanz #Isfahan #IranNuclearSites #MissileSites #IranArmy #IranWar #MiddleEastTensions #Geopolitics #WarNews #DefenseNews #IranianLeadership #IranIsraelConflict #MilitaryCrisis #GlobalSecurity Also Read India Advises Its Citizens Against Non-Essential Travel To Iran :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-advises-its-citizens-against-non-essential-travel-to-iran-7802657.html?ref=DMDesc Israel's Troop Presence in Gaza Complicates Ceasefire Negotiations with Hamas :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-troops-gaza-complicates-truce-talks-011-7796581.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Gets Second Nobel Peace Prize Nod, Courtesy Israeli PM Netanyahu :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-gets-second-nobel-peace-prize-nod-courtesy-israeli-pm-netanyahu-011-7794565.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.408~

Iran FM Reveals SHOCKING Details of DAMAGE to NUCLEAR Sites due to U.S-Israel Strikes

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has raised alarming concerns over “reckless” U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites between June 13–25. Speaking at the BRICS Summit in Rio, Araghchi warned of irreparable ecological damage and long-term health risks to millions. He called the joint attacks illegal, citing violations of IAEA safeguards and NPT principles. While the U.S. claims the Isfahan, Natanz, and Fordow sites were destroyed, Iran denies major damage and insists its nuclear program is peaceful. #IranStrikes #NuclearDisaster #USIsraelAttacks #IranNuclearSites #Araghchi #IAEAViolations #BRICSSummit #Natanz #Fordow #Isfahan #NPT #InternationalLaw #EcologicalThreat #TehranResponse #IranNuclearCrisis #BreakingNews #MiddleEastTensions #IranDeniesDamage #PeacefulNuclearUse #UNCharterViolation #WestAsiaFlashpoint #USMilitary #IsraelAirstrikes #IranEnviroWarning #IranFMStatement Also Read Iran To Buy Chinese J-10C Fighter Jets :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-to-buy-chinese-j-10c-fighter-jets-7788123.html?ref=DMDesc Iran’s Uranium Mystery: 400kg Vanishes Without a Trace :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-s-uranium-mystery-400kg-vanishes-without-a-trace-011-7787491.html?ref=DMDesc Iran Casts Doubt on Israel's Ceasefire Commitment, Warns of Retaliation :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-casts-doubt-on-israels-ceasefire-commitment-warns-of-retaliation-011-7786853.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.122~

Iran's Nuclear Uranium SURVIVED U.S Bombing, Israelis Admit Failure of U.S OP 'Midnight Hammer'

Weeks after Trump boasted of obliterating Iran’s nuclear program, a New York Times report raises major doubts. Israeli officials claim parts of Iran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile survived U.S. airstrikes in June. The uranium, reportedly buried too deep at Isfahan, may remain intact and inaccessible. While the U.S. says centrifuges were likely destroyed, satellite imagery suggests otherwise. With IAEA inspectors blocked, uncertainty looms. Trump’s “Midnight Hammer” may not have delivered a fatal blow, casting doubt on U.S. intelligence and raising fears about Iran’s nuclear future. #Trump #Iran #NuclearProgram #NYTReport #Isfahan #Uranium #IAEA #MidnightHammer #IranNukes #USMilitary #IsraelIntel #GlobalSecurity #TrumpClaims #EnrichedUranium #IranNuclearCrisis #USStrike #Centrifuges #Fordo #Natanz #WorldNews #MiddleEastTensions #IranUpdate #BunkerBuster #IranNuclear #USIsrael #NuclearThreat #BreakingNews #TrumpVsIran #Geopolitics #SecurityBriefing #IntelligenceLeak Also Read Trump Condemns Brazilian Authorities for Alleged Witch Hunt Against Bolsonaro :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-criticises-brazilian-authorities-witch-hunt-bolsonaro-011-7794385.html?ref=DMDesc Israel To Send Ceasefire Team To Qatar A Day Before Trump-Netanyahu Meet :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-to-send-ceasefire-team-to-qatar-a-day-before-trump-netanyahu-meet-7792721.html?ref=DMDesc Iran To Buy Chinese J-10C Fighter Jets :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-to-buy-chinese-j-10c-fighter-jets-7788123.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.124~

Yemen Breaking: Houthis Confirm Yemen PM Killed In Sana'a | Israel Kills Yemeni PM | Houthis LIVE TV

Yemeni state TV has officially confirmed the death of Prime Minister Ahmed Al-Rahawi, declaring him a “martyr” after an Israeli airstrike on Sana’a. The presidency of Yemen’s Houthi-led government said the prime minister and several ministers were killed during a routine government workshop on August 28. For days, Houthis had denied Israeli claims of assassinating Al-Rahawi, accusing Tel Aviv of targeting only civilians. The announcement comes after weeks of escalating Israeli strikes on Yemen, launched in response to Houthi missile and drone attacks against Israel and Western ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. Thursday’s deadly attack followed earlier Israeli bombardments that killed 10 people and injured over 90. Despite the assassination, the Houthis vowed to continue military operations in solidarity with Palestinians and Hamas in Gaza, warning that Israel’s aggression will not deter their campaign. #Yemen #Houthis #Sanaa #AlRahawi #IsraelStrike #MiddleEastWar #RedSea #GazaWar #HouthisIsrael #BreakingNews #HouthisAttack #IDF #Palestine #HouthisMissiles #YemenPM #IsraelYemen #HouthisVsIsrael #HouthiLeadership #MiddleEastConflict #HouthisWar ~HT.410~ED.103~

ON CAM: ‘They Will Be KILLED’ Hamas’ Big Warning To Netanyahu | Deadly Gaza Ambush Kills 1 [Video]

ON CAM: ‘They Will Be KILLED’ Hamas’ Big Warning To Netanyahu | Deadly Gaza Ambush Kills 1

Hamas has issued a chilling warning that Israeli troops will be killed or captured if Israel pushes deeper into Gaza City. Abu Obeida, the spokesperson of Hamas’s al-Qassam Brigades, declared that occupying Gaza City would “cost the enemy in the blood of its soldiers” and increase the number of captives. Hours later, Hamas fighters ambushed Israeli forces in Gaza’s Zaytoun neighborhood, killing at least one soldier, wounding nine, and reportedly capturing four. The Israeli military confirmed it has begun the “initial stages” of occupying Gaza City, declaring it a combat zone. Experts call the ambush a major setback for Israel’s military campaign, as heavy clashes rage and helicopters evacuate wounded troops. Since October 7, Israel’s war has killed over 63,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children. The UN warns that seizing Gaza City could displace nearly one million civilians, further deepening the humanitarian catastrophe. #Hamas #Israel #Gaza #GazaCity #BreakingNews #MiddleEast #War #Conflict #AbuObeida #Palestine #Zelensky #Netanyahu #Resistance #Military #Ceasefire #UN #WarCrimes #PalestinianCrisis #IsraelGazaWar #Breaking ~ED.103~HT.408~GR.124~

Gaza All Out War: Al-Qassam’s DEADLIEST Ambush Yet? 1 Israeli Soldier Killed, 11 Injured | VIDEO

Hamas has launched a fresh operation against Israeli forces inside the Gaza Strip, delivering another deadly blow to the Israeli army. According to reports, at least one Israeli soldier was killed and 11 others wounded in a sudden ambush-style attack. The group described the strike as part of its ongoing resistance against what it calls the “occupation regime.” Fighting between Israel and Hamas has continued despite months of heavy bombardments, ground incursions, and international calls for a ceasefire. The latest operation highlights Hamas’s ability to regroup and carry out targeted strikes even under extreme military pressure from Israel. With mounting casualties on both sides, the conflict shows no sign of slowing, raising fears of an even bloodier escalation. The incident once again underscores the volatility of Gaza, where battles continue to redefine the shifting balance of power in the region. #Hamas #Israel #Gaza #IsraelHamasWar #BreakingNews #MiddleEast #GazaUnderFire #HamasAttack #IsraeliArmy #GazaConflict #IsraelWar #Resistance #HamasOperation #Palestine #IsraeliForces #WarUpdates #GazaWar #IsraelUnderAttack #Breaking #Military ~HT.318~ED.103~

Ukraine War LATEST: Trump Backs Chinese Peacekeepers In Ukraine | Is Trump Hiding Pro-Russia Agenda?

US President Donald Trump has reportedly floated the idea of deploying Chinese peacekeepers to Ukraine as part of a potential ceasefire deal with Russia, according to the Financial Times. Sources claim Trump suggested Chinese troops could patrol a neutral zone along the 1,300km frontline between Russian and Ukrainian forces. The proposal, allegedly made during a White House meeting with European leaders and President Volodymyr Zelensky, has triggered controversy and resistance from EU nations. Zelensky himself has rejected the idea in the past, citing Beijing’s failure to prevent earlier conflicts. While a senior Trump official dismissed the FT report as “false,” the very suggestion of Chinese boots on Ukrainian soil is sparking global debate. Beijing has so far denied any willingness to join such missions, insisting on neutrality. Moscow, however, has signaled it would only accept peace guarantees backed by UN Security Council powers, including China. #Trump #China #Ukraine #Russia #Peacekeepers #BreakingNews #Zelensky #Moscow #Beijing #UkraineWar #Ceasefire #TrumpProposal #EU #NATO #UkraineCrisis #UN #GlobalPolitics #PeacePlan #UkraineConflict #Geopolitics ~ED.103~HT.408~GR.124~
