Miscalculation in Iranian Strategy Leads to Devastating Israeli Strikes
Senior Iranian officials reveal that unexpected Israeli attacks were miscalculated amidst preparations for upcoming nuclear talks.

On June 13, 2025, a series of extensive strikes by Israel on Iranian military targets took many Iranian leaders by surprise, revealing significant errors in their strategic planning. Senior officials disclosed that, contrary to their expectations, Israel initiated the attacks ahead of a scheduled round of talks in Oman set for Sunday.
This shocking decision by Israel undermined Iran's confidence, prompting them to underestimate the likelihood of an immediate assault. Iranian officials had dismissed urgent warnings as mere Israeli propaganda aimed at coercing concessions in the nuclear negotiations.
The repercussions of complacency were dire; senior military commanders, including General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the head of the Revolutionary Guards’ aerospace unit, failed to take necessary precautions and convened for a critical war meeting at a military base rather than seeking safety. This poor judgment led to their deaths during the missile strikes.
By the end of the day, Iran was assessing the full scope of devastation inflicted by Israeli forces, which targeted at least 15 locations across the nation. This unexpected military operation has raised urgent questions about Iran's preparedness and response in the face of escalating tensions and the potential implications for future diplomatic engagements.
