The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have launched their largest-ever strike sortie against Iran, deploying around 200 fighter jets in a coordinated operation. The jets targeted more than 500 Iranian military sites, including ballistic missile launchers and air defense systems, marking a significant escalation in the conflict.
Explosions were reported across Tehran and other Iranian cities as retaliatory strikes unfolded. Reports suggest that areas near offices associated with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei were hit, though his presence at the time remains unclear.
Israeli officials described the operation as the most extensive in the history of the Israeli Air Force, highlighting the scale of intelligence and coordination involved. Meanwhile, the United States announced the beginning of “major combat operations” in Iran, with President Trump calling for regime change.
