JERUSALEM, June 14, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - The Israeli military said on Saturday 
its air strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities the previous day resulted in 
the deaths of nine leading Iranian nuclear scientists.

"During the Israeli air force strikes at the onset of Operation Rising Lion, 
nine senior scientists and experts, who advanced the Iranian regime's nuclear 
weapons programme, were eliminated," the military said in a statement, 
listing the names of those killed.

"Their elimination represents a significant blow to the Iranian regime's 
ability to acquire weapons of mass destruction."

The military said the strikes were carried out on the basis of "precise 
intelligence gathered by the intelligence directorate".
