We have heard that Khamenei, the supreme leader, was targeted and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

just moments ago in a press conference said there are growing signs that Khamenei was killed.

They have not presented that evidence, but today an Israeli military official told reporters that one of the reasons that Israel is trying to build this case for why it attacked now is...

They said first that Iran was concealing its efforts to repair its nuclear program and was intending on starting it up.

But another big reason that the Israelis are laying out is its missile program.

And that, I think, is actually the number one most immediate reason that the Israelis are laying out.

Absolutely.

The Israelis are saying that in recent months they've detected a spike, an acceleration in the missiles being produced in Iran monthly.

And it

basically saying that the time was now to take them out.

And we did see many rounds of missiles fired at Israel today, although we were in bomb shelters in and out all day today, but relatively a low level of missiles were fired at Israel.

That might mean an Iranian strategy to kind of, you know, spread it out across what might be a long campaign.

Well, one person briefed on the strikes and on the operation told me that the expectation is a couple of very intensive days.

Talking about an intense Sunday, an intense Monday, so that would be three intensive days.

And then it might last for some days after that, maybe as long as a week.

I think we already are seeing indications that the Israeli military opened with an enormous blitz, it says.

It has completed its biggest air force operation in Israeli history, 200 fighter jets hitting about 500 targets throughout Iran and focusing, as I mentioned earlier, on those three places where they say that the senior leaders were meeting.

So opening with a major surprise and.

We heard from one former Israeli military intelligence chief, Amos Yadlin, who was saying that he predicts what he called a hit and run.

So a few days or maybe up to a week of strikes.
