The strikes explicitly included command-and-control facilities, ballistic missile sites, and the compound where Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was meeting with senior advisers.

Both U.S. and Iranian officials have publicly confirmed the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

They said his death was a result of the strikes, a central and explicit outcome reported in coverage of the operation.

Commanders emphasized nonkinetic operations were used up-front to disrupt Iranian sensors and communications before kinetic strikes followed.

Senior U.S. officials credited space-based capabilities with playing a vital, if often invisible, role in the operation.

Those capabilities aided communications, navigation, targeting and battlefield awareness, enabling the synchronized strikes.
