Inside Operation Red Wedding: Israel’s Deadly Strike Against Iran’s Military Chiefs
June 27, 2025 — TalkNation
Israel launched a fierce and precise 12-day military campaign against Iran, known as Operation Red Wedding, resulting in the assassination of 30 Iranian generals within minutes of the conflict's start. Named after the infamous massacre scene from Game of Thrones, this operation effectively paralyzed Iran’s military leadership and stalled retaliation.
The Strike That Changed the Game
On June 13, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) launched a preemptive blitz against Iran’s nuclear facilities and military command centers. The campaign targeted Iran’s nuclear ambitions and key military strategists, including Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, chief of Iran's Revolutionary Guards' air force.
The simultaneous strikes came as Iran’s top commanders gathered underground to plan a counterattack — only to be decimated before they could respond.
The Scale of Destruction
Over 12 days, Israel deployed 200 fighter jets and 330 munitions to obliterate more than 100 strategic sites, including uranium enrichment plants, missile bases, and command centers. Secret Mossad missions inside Iran helped coordinate drone strikes that crippled Iran’s military infrastructure.
US Joins the Offensive
The United States entered the conflict on June 22, deploying 12 massive bunker-busting bombs (GBU-57 MOPs) and Tomahawk cruise missiles targeting Iran’s most secure nuclear sites. Despite a limited Iranian missile response at a US base in Qatar, a fragile ceasefire was brokered, leaving the region tense but momentarily calm.
Ayatollah’s Bunker Silence and Claims of Victory
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has remained secluded in a bunker, proclaiming victory despite heavy losses. However, evidence shows Iran's nuclear program and military infrastructure have been severely compromised.
What’s Next?
Operation Red Wedding has shifted Middle Eastern power dynamics dramatically. With Iran’s top military leadership wiped out in minutes and its nuclear program crippled, the region awaits the next move.
