Seeing that Israel might make their proof of Ayatollah's death public.

Sounds interesting

A U.S. official told Reuters:

"The U.S. had indicators that Iran had intended to strike preemptively, and Trump decided not to let U.S. forces absorb attacks from missiles.

If we sat back and waited to get hit first, the amount of casualties and damage would be substantially…

Good Trump! VERY good Trump!

Ain't it great to have a President that puts American interests first?

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who turned the country into a powerful anti-U.S. force and extended its military influence across the Middle East while crushing repeated domestic unrest, was killed in Israeli and U.S. strikes, Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed.

In a televised address on Saturday evening, the Israeli Prime Minister said that airstrikes in Iran had destroyed the Supreme Leader's compound, and added that 'all indications show this tyrant is no longer with us.'

The Israeli leader did not explicitly confirm Khamenei's death, but his claims come after Iran's Foreign Ministry said earlier this evening that the Supreme Leader and the country's president were both alive and well.

Trump gets credit but it was the Israelis who took the targeting of the Iranian leadership while the Americans took the military targets.

which makes sense for domestic US legislation to not target foreign leaders

So many videos of the celebrations coming out!

Little did they know, that “work” was ordering US strikes on Iran.

Somebody in Iran or their proxies supremely f'd up when they ordered that October 2023 attack on Israel. this is the end game to that day. They unleashed a raging animal in Israel for sure.

Who would've ever predicted the chain of events after the cowardly attack by Hamas on 10/7 slaughtering civilian Israelis? Their murders were beyond horrific, but their sacrifice has been avenged for the betterment of the world. Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Houthis NEVER even considered that one "victory" would only trigger their complete annihilation. Bibi and Israel told the world to GFT and destroyed Hamas and Hezbollah. Biden (progs) tried to handcuff Israel but their resolve was rewarded when Trump won the election. Now every loudmouth radical terrorist leader is or has been "wiped off the map". I used that phrase because it was Israel that eliminated the pos that coined it on the world stage, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Today is a great day for the entire world.

The US military carried out nearly 900 US strikes in the first 12 hours of this operation, US defense official tells me. The strikes came “from land, air and sea and included drones.”
All the while “defending against 100s of incoming Iranian ballistic missiles.”

Iran has fired…

...Iran has fired about 300 missiles today. They have 2000 long range missiles and 2000 shorter range missiles. They had built back up their arsenal since last summer.

In Bahrain at the 5th Fleet HQ the Iranians hit an "empty warehouse" and a Ray Dome - radar installation - the dome seen in the video from the strike. There are multiple redundancies and nothing that has happened has affected the mission, according to this official.

What is the goal/end state:
"Iran doesn't have the capability to attack its neighbors: no drones, no missiles, no Navy."

The US and its partners know where Iran's highly enriched uranium is, but it is hard to get to.

Expect the operation to last "a couple of weeks." But POTUS could decide to off ramp early if he chooses.

There are still a number of air defenses left, according to US official. Will take a few days to suppress.

Just said on Fox that the US alone has carried out 900+ strikes in the last 12 hours.

Add that to the 700+ strikes by Israel's 200+ planes in the first volley, the single latest force attack in their nation's history.

We've also seen videos of Iranians celebrating after 9/11 and chanting Death To America. What're the chances these celebratory videos are propaganda?
