In a dramatic escalation of the widening conflict, joint U.S.-Israeli strikes hit multiple Iranian targets, including Tehran, with satellite imagery confirming the near-total destruction of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s official residence in the Pasteur district. Israel described the operation as preemptive, aimed at neutralizing what it calls existential threats from Iran’s nuclear and missile programs, with reports indicating senior officials, including President Pezeshkian and IRGC commanders, were targeted. Iranian sources say the 86-year-old Khamenei was not at the compound during the strike and had been moved to an undisclosed secure location. Images show charred ruins and widespread devastation at the site, while additional strikes reportedly hit IRGC bases and nuclear-related facilities in Isfahan, Qom, and Karaj.
