The U.S. and Israel conducted significant military operations against Iran, targeting areas including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's offices in the capital. President Trump released a video announcing the strikes and urged the Iranian public to seize control of their government, stating this represented their only chance for generations. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu similarly expressed that the joint operation aimed to enable Iranians to control their own fate.

U.S. officials indicated the operations targeted Iranian leadership, though immediate casualty information remained unclear.
