- CENTCOM reported destroyed IRGC headquarters, nine naval ships, and early U.S. casualties (three killed, five seriously wounded).
Timing Chosen To Hit Leadership Meeting
- The strike timed daytime meetings to maximize a decapitation opportunity, sacrificing usual night operations for a higher-value target.
- Khamenei met top military and intelligence aides above ground in Tehran, giving the U.S. and Israel a rare chance to act.
Global Iranian Celebrations And Statue Toppling
- Iranians worldwide, including inside Iran, flooded streets celebrating and tearing down a statue of the Ayatollah.
- Tim Pierce described videos of dancing, fireworks, honking, and demonstrators removing the statue in Tehran.
