Unfortunately, it appears the head of the IRGC Quds Force left shortly before the strike and may still be alive. This is the guy that was given the reigns of the country by Khamenei while the Ayatollah was in hiding.

Per Fox’s @Liz_Friden
The U.S. has used tomahawks, HIMARS, standoff weapons, and drones to strike Iran, a U.S. defense official tells Fox News.
The U.S. has used Patriot missiles, THAAD batteries, and ship-launched Standard Missiles (SM) for air defense, the official said. 

*Standoff weapons are munitions launched from an aircraft, ship or submarine far enough away from the target that it is out of reach from defensive enemy fire

Breaking: Senior Israeli official confirms that head of IRGC Quds Force Gen. Esmail Qaani attended a meeting with Khamenei at his residence this morning.

Apparently, Qaani left shortly before the attack on the compound, and was not harmed.


sounds like he's a Mossad agent. Attended the meeting, confirmed everyones presence, IDF then lit them up.

Its Trump. I trust his intel and actions when it comes to foreign engagement. Send Iran to the stone ages and allow them to rebuild a beautiful democracy or at least the option. What they choose is on them.

Zanjan is 300 kilometers northwest of Tehran. It is not a nuclear site. It is not where the IRGC commands its missile forces. It is not on any published target list that any Western analyst predicted before this morning. And it is being bombed.

Ahram Online confirmed Israeli-US aircraft struck a depot site in Zanjan. IRNA, Iran’s own state news agency, reported explosions. Multiple OSINT accounts circulated footage of detonations consistent with precision-guided munitions hitting stored ordnance, the kind of secondary explosions that happen when a bomb hits a warehouse full of things that also explode.

Now pull the map back and understand what Zanjan tells you about the scale of what is happening inside Iran tonight.

Tehran. Isfahan. Qom. Karaj. Kermanshah. Tabriz. Lorestan. And now Zanjan. Eight cities across a country the size of Alaska being struck simultaneously by two air forces operating from carriers, regional bases, and stealth platforms that Iran cannot detect. This is not a targeted operation against a nuclear program. This is the systematic dismantlement of Iran’s entire military supply chain. Depots. Command nodes. Radar installations. Missile storage. Leadership compounds. The target list has expanded by hundreds of percent according to Israeli sources who described thousands of hours of intelligence preparation. Every site Iran spent decades building and dispersing across its geography to survive exactly this kind of attack is being hit in a single campaign.

Zanjan tells you the intelligence penetration is total. These are not obvious targets. A depot in a northwestern city that does not appear in any IAEA report or Congressional Research Service briefing means that American and Israeli intelligence mapped Iran’s logistics network down to the warehouse level. They know where the missiles are stored before they are loaded onto launchers. They know where the spare parts sit. They know which depots feed which launch sites and they are severing every supply artery in parallel so that what survives the first wave has nothing to reload with for the second.

Iran built its military doctrine on dispersal. Spread everything across a country of 1.6 million square kilometers so that no single strike can be decisive. Hide production in mountain tunnels. Store missiles in civilian areas. Scatter command posts across eight provinces. The entire strategy assumed the enemy would hit the obvious targets and miss the rest.

The enemy hit Zanjan. The enemy is not missing anything.

When a military campaign reaches cities that no analyst predicted, it means the target list is not a list. It is a map. And the map covers everything.

Iran did not prepare for a war this wide. Nobody told them to.

Pakistan telling the US and Israel to back off despite starting their war on Afghanistan first. And also condemning Iran for their attacks on the Gulf States.

They have no reason not to. It's an existential conflict for them. Maybe they get lucky and hit something important. Maybe they drag other parties in. Or maybe they just burn down as much as they can.

With the United States’ apparent use of new drone technology, it does make you wonder if that technology was being tested in New Jersey in late 2024 with all of those drone sightings near one of the military bases.

the level of stupidity required to have all your leaders meet in 1 spot while the US and Israel have your country surrounded

Iran probably trying to piss off the Arab states so they launch retaliatory strikes which will kill Iranian civilians. If they're going to die they want to take as many with them as they can, truly evil.
