🇺🇸🇮🇱❌🇮🇷 — Explosions in Tehran.

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚔️🇮🇷📝: The information we have available today suggests Khamenei's home was targeted in the opening round of US-Israeli strikes, likely between 8:30am and 9:30am Jerusalem time.

The Iranian response began at 11:00am. This means that every Iranian offensive action we've seen so far occurred *after* Khamenei was killed.

American planners were likely hoping that the initial shock would result in discoordination. Instead, the Iranians immediately jumped about halfway up their escalatory ladder by striking not just US bases in the Gulf states, but Gulf infrastructure, and retaliated dramatically faster than they did in the 12 Day War. They then closed the Strait of Hormuz.

Whatever Trump was trying to achieve by killing Khamenei clearly failed, and failed immediately. This is the strongest Iranian response we've ever seen, and the entirety of it occurred after Khamenei was already dead.

Iranian drone and missile barrages so far are smaller but much more constant than those during the 12 Day War. This suggests the Iranians have reformed their command and control to be more decentralized and resilient to decapitation strikes. And yet, they managed to hit every major US base in the region over a very short period of time.
