Trump on Iran: We’ve inflicted tremendous damage. It would take them years to rebuild

In an interview with NBC News, Trump said he believes reports that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in airstrikes are accurate. He added that “most” of Iran’s senior leadership is “gone,” saying, “The people that make all the decisions, most of them are gone.”

The Israeli military announces the killing of Iran’s IRGC commander, the defense minister, Ali Shamkhani, adviser to the Supreme Leader, and other senior commanders

The US military carried out nearly 900 US strikes in the first 12 hours of this operation, US defense official tells. The strikes came “from land, air and sea and included drones.”. All the while “defending against 100s of incoming Iranian ballistic missiles.” Iran has fired about 300 missiles today. They have 2000 long range missiles and 2000 shorter range missiles. In Bahrain at the 5th Fleet HQ the Iranians hit an “empty warehouse” and a Ray Dome - radar installation - the dome seen in the video from the strike. There are multiple redundancies and nothing that has happened has affected the mission, according to this official. What is the goal/end state: “Iran doesn’t have the capability to attack its neighbors: no drones, no missiles, no Navy.” The US and its partners know where Iran’s highly enriched uranium is, but it is hard to get to. Expect the operation to last “a couple of weeks.” But POTUS could decide to off ramp early if he chooses. There are still a number of air defenses left, according to US official. Will take a few days to suppress

US official confirms to Fox that US believes Khamenei and 5-10 top Iranian leaders killed in initial Israeli strike on compound; agree with Israel’s intelligence assessment. Iranian leaders who were all meeting at a compound in Tehran Saturday morning. The top IRGC commander also killed. Multiple sources tell that the timeline for the strike had to be moved up based on intelligence and this “target of opportunity.” “There was a deliberate decision to accelerate the timeline,” officials told Fox. That is why the US and Israel took the unusual decision to strike during the daytime to achieve the element of surprise and to target this meeting. Normally the US military would not launch an operation like this during the day. The meeting accelerated the timeline. “This was a massive, wildly bold daytime attack,” a senior US defense official told. “It caught the senior leadership off guard, a Saturday morning during Ramadan and on Shabbat in the daytime.” "We hit the senior leaders right out of the gate"

An Iranian official told Al Jazeera: Trump thought an attack on Iran might last four hours, but Washington could become embroiled in a major and devastating war.
