Israel targets Iran’s supreme leader in sweeping strikes as US joins ‘Operation Epic Fury’
Israel launches sweeping strikes targeting Iran’s Supreme Leader, in a coordinated campaign with the United States described as Operation Epic Fury. The campaign marks a significant escalation, focusing on key leadership centers and strategic facilities linked to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Officials say the strikes aim to degrade Iran’s political and military command and control capabilities amid rising tensions in the region. The operation drew immediate reactions from regional actors and heightened concerns about potential wider confrontation.
Trump has publicly urged regime change in Iran as the conflict intensifies, while the U.S. and Israel coordinate ongoing military actions, with authorities warning of potential further retaliatory measures from Tehran.
