Starting a thread of footage of the strikes on Iran, all of this is from Tehran at the moment.

"Regime targets" were struck near the Milad Tower. Nitzan Shapira of N12 says this is a joint attack with the US. A number assassinations were reported in the center of Tehran.

A second wave of strikes has started following the first wave that hit central Tehran. Now western Tehran is being hit.

Unconfirmed report: During the first wave Israeli hit the Presidential Building in Tehran, trying to assassinate Iranian President Masoud Pezhkian. There are also renewed strikes near the Mehrabad Airport in western Tehran. So far ~30 targets have been hit such as the intelligence HQ of the IRGC.

Strikes have expanded to eastern Tehran, including Seyed Khandan in District 7.

Israel is preparing for the first stage of assaults on Iran that will include four days of intense attacks with the US. Many of the strikes we've seen so far were done with Tomahawk cruise missiles. The initial round of strikes also hit the Supreme Court building and the Iranian Judicial Institution Center.

- Unconfirmed reports of the assassination of Amir Hatami, Iran's Minister of Defense.
- Strikes on Tehran also hit the Supreme National Security Council building
- Footage shows an aerial refueling on an F-22 Raptor stealth fighter aircraft
- Iranian official tells Reuters that they are preparing a "devastating" response

- President Trump: "We have started an extensive military operation in Iran, we will destroy the threat from the cruel Iranian regime"
- Iranian media reports cyber attacks on against media outlets in the country such as IRNA. Wouldn't be surprised if Iran's air defense array was also compromised by cyber attacks.
- American and Israeli aircraft filmed over Daraa, Southern Syria.
- Iranian media says President Masoud Pezeshkian was NOT killed in the attacks
- 7 missiles struck the region around the Presidential Palace and the Office of the Supreme Leader

New explosions just reported, this time in Ilam, western Iran.

Very clear sequence of actions: The first round of strikes focuses on eliminating high-ranking IRGC operatives, including some actively involved in sensitive operations. Symbols associated with the Iranian government, defense ministry, and IRGC were strike in broad daylight. Now Trump is urging Iranian police and security forces to lay down their arms or face "certain death".

Now another round of strikes is imminent as Israeli sorties make their way to Iran to launch air-launched ballistic missiles such as Golden Horizon and Ice Breaker.

New series of explosions reported in Tehran, Iranian air defense is finally active near the border with Iraq.

- Internet access dropping in Tehran
- New strikes on Bushehr, Dezful, Bandar Abass, Tabriz, and Tehran
- Lebanese President Nawaf Salam, "We will not accept intervention by any party in Lebanon that would drag us into adventures that threaten our security."

Iranian ballistic missiles are expected to reach Iran within 10 minutes if not less

Red alerts throughout northern Israel, this will expand deeper into the country soon. At least 30 launches reported.

Multitasking right now so I'm gonna post less frequently:
2 launches in Northern Israel, at least 1 intercepted.
5 ballistic missiles launched towards Gush Dan and Jerusalem, at least 1 interception.
Initial reports of launches towards Naval Support Activity Bahrain
Initial reports of launches from Yemen

New wave of BMs launched, this time from Yazd Launch Base, 1800km from Israel.

One of the 5 BMs launched towards Central Israel landed in Tel Aviv. Sirens have once again expanded to Northern Israel.

Just a sample of the sheer amount of red alerts throughout Israel, along with footage of the impact on the Galilee region. New attacks have popped up in Tabriz, the source of much of the ballistic missile fire.
