The president also said that this operation would not be like Midnight Hammer or the capture of Maduro, that Americans should expect this to go on for days, if not weeks, so more lives will likely be lost in the effort.

Well, the most significant, of course, is Ayatollah Khamenei, the supreme leader.

When Cabot reported for us Saturday, there were already unconfirmed reports that he was dead.

But by Saturday night, President Trump made it official and used the confirmation of his death as another call to action for the Iranian people, saying this is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their country.

Trump also announced on Sunday morning that the U.S.

had destroyed at least nine Iranian naval ships and largely destroyed their naval headquarters.

Meanwhile, U.S.

Central Command says that it has destroyed the headquarters for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Right.

We now know that on Saturday morning, Khamenei convened a meeting of his top military and intelligence aides above ground in Tehran.

At the same time, two other meetings were taking place in the city.

Typically, these strikes take place at night, but the US and Israel reportedly felt that this was their best shot for a decapitation strike, and they took it.

The obvious question now is who will fill the power vacuum in Tehran, and could this ultimately lead to the collapse of the regime?

Yes, at least two people were killed and over a dozen wounded at a bar Saturday night in Austin.

Authorities are investigating the mass shooting as a potential act of terrorism.

The gunman was reportedly wearing a sweatshirt that said, And underneath that, he wore a shirt with an Iranian flag on it.

Authorities also found a Quran in his car.

He appears to have become a U.S.

citizen in 2013 and is originally from Senegal, a Muslim-majority country on the west coast of Africa.

There is no definitive connection to the regime yet in this particular case, but there are certainly grave concerns that there could be attacks like this in the coming days and weeks because of what is happening in Iran.
