Israel’s ambassador to the U.S., Yechiel Leiter, claimed that Israel had set Iran’s nuclear program back significantly, but that the full operation could take “weeks.”

The Israeli military said on Friday it had “significantly damaged” Iran’s uranium enrichment facility at Natanz and that the operation was “still in the beginning.”

As the head of the secretive Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Major General Hossein Salami, was one of the most powerful men in Iran, overseeing its most potent military arm and reporting directly to its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Iranian media reported that Israel struck the South Pars Gas Field in what would be the first attack on an Iranian energy site.

The two powers have been exchanging barrages since Israel attacked Iran and killed many of the country’s top military leaders and scientists.

"The full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before," Trump warned.

Israel launched Operation Rising Lion against Iran's nuclear facilities in the early hours of Friday morning, and Newsweek maps show where airstrikes took place. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the attacks were "a targeted military operation to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel's very survival."

Rabat – Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, also known as IRGC, said that the country’s military operation will escalate if Israeli hostilities continue. The Iranian Guard Corps issued a statement today, noting that they had targeted military fuel infrastructure in Israel. This comes as a response to Israeli strikes on Iran on June 13.

U.S. officials have been told Israel is fully ready to launch an operation into Iran, multiple sources told CBS News.
