Overview

• Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, targeting Iranian leadership and nuclear sites in Natanz and Fordow, prompting a state of emergency declaration.
• Sen. John Fetterman took to social media to affirm full support for the attacks and urged Israel to continue eliminating Iranian leadership and nuclear personnel.
• He called on the United States to provide military, intelligence and weaponry support to sustain Israel’s offensive.
• Journalist Nick Sortor reported that Iran’s military chief of staff was killed in the operation, and other sources say two nuclear scientists died in targeted assassinations.
• Fetterman’s hawkish position has drawn unease among his inner circle and raised questions about the ethics of Israel’s bombing campaign.
