IDF Spokesperson:

*For the first time in Operation “Lion’s Roar”: The IDF struck targets in northern Iran*

The Air Force, directed by the Navy and Military Intelligence, struck targets in northern Iran a short time ago — for the first time as part of Operation “Lion’s Roar.” Further details to follow.

Regarding the Qataris: the real headline is — even after Iran attacked their most important asset, they do not dare expel the Iranian ambassador and settle for the lower-ranking attachés under him instead.

Is there any historical precedent for something like this?

IDF Spokesperson:

The strikes against Basij forces continue also in western Iran: footage shows the elimination of a Basij soldier while he was guarding an entry post at one of the unit’s bases.

Throughout Operation “Roar of the Lion,” the IDF is conducting an organized and ongoing effort to target the Basij unit’s forces and infrastructure.

Yesterday (Wednesday), the Air Force identified and struck a Basij soldier while he was on guard duty at one of the unit’s bases in western Iran.

The IDF is acting forcefully against regime forces, including the Basij unit, and two days ago (Tuesday), Basij soldiers operating at more than ten different posts across Tehran were attacked.

This is not a war over territory—it is a war over the world's ability to keep functioning. Of all countries it might be Taiwan, Japan, or South Korea that will determine the outcome.

Also, Turkey gets sidelined, and more.
