Israel attacks Iran

Operation Epic Fury is a large-scale US-led military offensive under President Donald Trump, carried out early Sunday in Tehran. Its primary objective was a “decapitation strike” that eliminated Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and key members of the country’s political leadership.

Israeli forces under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also participated in the operation, codenamed Operation Lion’s Roar.The strikes, conducted in broad daylight, targeted Tehran’s political and administrative districts, including the offices of the Supreme Leader, the presidential complex, and the Assembly of Experts. The offensive also killed Khamenei’s daughter and grandchild, along with senior military officials, and caused significant civilian casualties, including at a girls’ school in southern Iran, according to Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
