While I woke up to a peaceful morning in a quiet Armenian mountain village, the world just took a hard turn toward open war—just a few hundred miles south of where I’m standing, Israel has launched full-scale airstrikes across Iran.

And this isn’t tit-for-tat skirmishing anymore. This is war. Real war. Strategic, targeted, decapitating war.

The Opening Salvo: Precision Strikes and Strategic Chaos

Overnight, Israel unleashed at least four waves of devastating airstrikes across Iran, hitting key nuclear, military, and leadership targets. Among the confirmed dead:

• IRGC General Hussein Salami (yes, the one blustering on Iranian TV yesterday)

• General Gulmani Rashid, a senior strategist

• Dr. Terranchi, head of Iran’s largest university

• Fereydoon Abbasi, a top nuclear scientist
