Israeli forces carried out strikes in Tehran, while Iran responded with waves of drones and missiles aimed at Israel and strategic sites around the Gulf. A missile barrage in Jerusalem left at least seven people injured. Gulf states pledged to defend themselves against any further Iranian attacks as fears of a broader regional conflict intensified.
US President Donald Trump confirmed the operation in a video statement on Sunday, describing it as “one of the most complex, most overwhelming military offensives the world has ever seen.” He said the campaign—named Operation Epic Fury—would continue until “all of our objectives” were achieved. According to Trump, US forces struck hundreds of targets across Iran, including Revolutionary Guard facilities and air defence systems, destroying multiple ships and a naval building within minutes. “I got him before he got me,” Trump said, confirming Khamenei’s death.
