Israeli Drone Strike Kills Nuclear Weapons Scientist Hiding in Tehran Safe House
Israel hits more nuclear weapons-related sites, missile manufacturing facilities.
As Operation ‘Rising Lion’ enters its second week, Israel eliminated another Iranian nuclear weapons scientist in a targeted strike. The nuclear scientist, who was a weapons specialist, was taken out in a drone strike while hiding inside Iran’s Islamic Guard-linked safe house in the heart of Tehran, Israeli news reports suggest.
“Israel carried out the targeted killing of a scientist in Tehran on Friday using a drone, an Israeli official said,” The Wall Street Journal reported.”The scientist, who specialized in weaponry, was being kept in a hiding spot outside of his home, the official said.”
“The scientist is at least the 10th expert related to Iran’s nuclear and weapons programs to have been killed by Israel since the start of its current conflict with Iran,” the WSJ noted.

Since the beginning of the Israeli preemptive strike last Friday, the IDF has taken out at least nine senior scientists and experts running Iran’s nuclear weapons program. “Israel has so far taken responsibility for the elimination of nine Iranian nuclear scientists, some of whom were senior members of the so-called ‘weapon group’ involved in nuclear weapons development,” the Israeli news website Ynetnews reported Friday.
With the Israeli aerial operation against Iran continuing, the IDF is systematically hunting down scientists advancing the regime’s rogue nuclear weapons program. According to the Jerusalem Post on Friday, prior to the strike, the intelligence services “compiled a hit list, ready for execution at command, with the most dangerous scientists at the top.”
Israeli strikes hit more nuclear weapons-related sites, missile manufacturing facilities
The Israeli armed forces, on Friday, continued dismantling Iran’s nuke program, hitting the headquarters of the Iranian nuclear weapons project in Tehran and missile manufacturing facilities across the country.
“The IDF completed a series of strikes in the heart of Tehran: dozens of targets were struck, including military missile production sites and the SPND headquarters for research and development of Iran’s nuclear weapons project,” the Israeli military revealed.
On Thursday night, “more than 60 IAF fighter jets, guided by precise intelligence from the IDF Intelligence Directorate, struck dozens of military targets in Iran using approximately 120 munitions,” the IDF statement said. “During the night, several industrial sites used to manufacture missiles were struck in the Tehran area. These sites were developed over many years and served as a key industrial center for the Iranian Ministry of Defense.”
The targets included “sites producing missile components and facilities manufacturing raw materials used in casting missile engines,” the military said.
According to the IDF, “a site producing a critical component of the Iranian regime’s nuclear weapons program was targeted.”

Iran missile barrage on Israel leaves 21 critically injured, including a teen
Overnight, Iran continued firing missiles discriminating on Israeli population centers, seriously injuring at least 21 people, including a 16-year-old boy.
“Some 30 Iranian ballistic missiles were launched at Israel in the latest barrage. Initial reports of at least four impact sites in Haifa, central and southern Israel,” the Israeli TV channel i24NEWS reported.
Quoting first-responders, the broadcaster noted that “the latest Iranian barrage includes a 16-year-old boy in serious condition, with shrapnel wounds to his upper body, and a 54-year-old man in moderate condition with a shrapnel wound to his lower limbs.”

The Israeli Air Force and air defense systems successfully intercepted most of the incoming Iranian missiles and drones, with the IDF testing new defensive technologies.
“The IDF confirmed that earlier today (Friday), the IAF’s Aerial Defense Array ‘Barak’ system intercepted a UAV that crossed into Israeli territory,” the Israeli news website Arutz Sheva reported. “The ‘Barak’ system was developed in Israel in order to defend from aerial threats.”
IDF eliminates the terrorist behind the kidnapping and murder of a U.S.-Israeli couple on October 7
The IDF eliminated a senior terrorist, belonging to the Hamas-linked Kataeb al-Mujahideen terror group, responsible for the abduction and murder of 70-year-old Judi Weinstein Haggai and her 72-year-old husband, Gadi Haggai, during the October 7 massacre.
The military, backed by Israel’s Shin Bet security service, “eliminated a senior terrorist in the Kataeb al-Mujahideen terrorist organization responsible for the murder and abduction of Gadi Haggai and Judi Lynn Weinstein,” the IDF announced Friday.

The slain terrorist was the ‘military commander’ of the Iran-funded Kataeb al-Mujahideen terrorist group. “In a joint IDF and ISA activity on June 16th, 2025, Ali Saadi Wasfi Al-Agha, a senior terrorist in the Kataeb al-Mujahideen terrorist organization, was struck and eliminated while operating from a hideout in central Gaza,” the IDF statement added. “Al-Agha was the military commander of the Kataeb al-Mujahideen’s organization and was expected to succeed As’ad Abu Shari’a as the leader of the terror organization after Abu Shari’a was eliminated by the IDF and ISA in the beginning of June.”
Al-Agha’s elimination is part of the IDF’s ongoing Operation Gideon’s Chariots in Gaza. “Over the past week, under guidance from the ISA [Shin Bet security agency], the IDF struck over 300 terrorist targets in the Gaza Strip, including terrorists, military structures, weapons storage facilities, anti-tank missiles, and sniper posts,” the military disclosed Friday.

Aatollah Khomeini has not lost the one things he values above all else , his life.
A negotiated peace will only postpone the inevitable
I think Mossad will let the Iranian people have the honors on that one.
Give him the hemp and lamp post treatment.
construction crane.
OR- they can “discover” he’s gay and toss him off a building.
Or they can toss him off a roof onto a construction crane, then hang him with a hemp rope.
Maybe a bit of overkill, but “I don’t really care, Margaret.”
:Piano wire would be good, too. Or, a Pinochet-style dumping into the Persian Gulf, from a 10,000 feet-plus altitude.
Or they can pull him out of a spider hole, do something very nasty to his nether regions and hang him.
My guess is that the guy will depart for a less hostile environment before long – maybe join Assad in Russia.
Rumor is Canada (NOT SARCASM)
Aatollah Khomeini has not lost the one things he values above all else , his life.
Actually, Ayatollah Khomeini lost his life circa 1989. Ayatollah Khameini has been the big cheese since 1989. Apparently still alive.
And the *last* thing Israel or the US wants to do is to kill him in a military operation, because he’ll be used as a rallying point by frothing nuts for the next century.
No, he is still alive. I saw him and Elvis last week in a WalMart
Pretty sure Khomeini has been dead for awhile.
and as khomeini damaged weakened or changed, that helps weaken their buddies, the ChiCom bastardss
At 86yo you’re pretty indifferent to losing your life, in the normal run of things.
You’re stupid. Are you 86?
Good for Israel. Trump draws yet another “two week” line in the sand, which he will never honor. Nobody believes anything Trump says anymore. Sadly
“Nobody believes anything Trump says anymore.”
I’m pretty sure the IRANIANS are paying pretty close attention, Cornholio.
Your descent into complete irrelevance is (fortunately for you) just about complete, isn’t it.
That’s funny Steve 😂 Yes, they should have believed him but it’s too late now and Trump isn’t going to stop the jews from doing what they have to do.
Man, Barry Hussein was right eh, elections really do have consequences 😂
Sure thing, retard. Trump gave them 60 days and Israel was let off the leash on day 61. 🤡
Nailed it, JR. 🤡
Khomeini lost his life decades ago. The ruler of Iran is Khamenei.
We all knew what he meant, Outhouse. Consider another nit picked though. Well done.
Iranian weapon scientist killed in an unsafe house!!
They really need to do a number on Iranian infrastructure. Electricity, water, power, manufacturing, energy, naval assets, army assets, etc…. It is warranted by the Iranian attacks on civilians.
No. They are doing regime change and they don’t want to spend a decade rebuilding infrastructure.
This is a decapitation.
I don’t think regime change is going to happen. The cleric is fanatical. The revolutionary guard is over 100K. For a regime change there has to be a charismatic opposition with guns to take physical control and I don’t see it.
Israel does not have an unlimited window of opportunity to inflict damage and meantime they are taking damage themselves. They are also still involved in gaza and have to watch Lebanon.
This doesn’t end w/out regime change. W/out regime change we will hear the same music for the next 30 years.
The hard core are not a 100k. They are about 1ok and only about 1k of them are hard to kill.
Dems also need regime change.
I sense a very favorable change coming. The Persians are good folks and HAD a modern well-run society. Let them get it back up and running without too much impediment.
My former manager’s family fled in the revolution.
ZZ is right in the danger, because these guys will go and become sleeper terror cells. The peace will be bloody for the next 20 years.
The Trump haters really have no idea about the Persians and how proud they are of their Persian heritage. They just think everyone in the Middle East is a rwaaaaging Muslim fanatic waiting to take up jihad at the drop of a hat. Couldn’t be further from the truth in Iran.
Troll on loose voting down everybody and any body.
JR
And his socks; moonmouth and 1186transvestite
I bet moonhammed is just beside himself these days. First, his bros in Hamas and Hezbollah were systematically dismantled. Now, their Iranian sponsors are meeting the same fate.
“moonhammed.” 🤣
I like that.
That’s “the world’s dumbest lawyer” JR.
I’m somewhat melancholy that IDF and Mossad will not have achieved a regime change by Sunday.
My likely guess is by EOM or first week of July.
1) I am reminded of an old, old commercial on TV and radio, “Reach out, reach out and touch someone”.
2) I assume that the pucker factor for the scientists and for the regime leadership went up orders of magnitude.

Israel is getting rather good at playing Whack-a-Mullah
Is the US really trying to depose the mullahs? This X post says not, we could be supporting insurgent Kurds and others within Iran but instead we appease Turkey. https://x.com/hadi_elis/status/1935826485216252095
Maybe Trump wants a continued shitshow Israel vs. Iran rather than Israeli victory.
Everyone is an expert 🙄 Just sit back and enjoy the ride and watch how everything plays out.
If a neutron bomb exist, why don’t they saturate bomb Iran with them. It’s my understanding such a weapon will completely shut down their electrical grid, communications, and electronic military equipment. They would have to depend on a camel to get around. It then would be all quiet on the mid eastern front.
Are you thinking of an EMP rather than a neutron bomb?
