The Israeli military launched a second day of airstrikes on Iran at dawn on the 1st local time.
In a statement that day, the Israeli military said, "The military has begun additional strikes targeting ballistic missile facilities and air defenses held by the Iranian terror regime."
Foreign media reported that loud explosions have been heard in Tehran, Iran's capital, since dawn.
From the morning of the previous day, the Israeli military, together with U.S. forces, carried out multiple strikes across major cities in Iran, including Tehran, Qom, Isfahan, Karaj, Shiraz, and Kermanshah.
The United States and Israel announced that Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the strikes the previous day. The Israeli military also confirmed that key figures in the defense and security sectors—including Ali Shamkhani, military adviser to the Supreme Leader; Mohammad Pakpour, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps ground forces; Mohammad Shirazi, chief of the Military Affairs Office of the Supreme Leader; and Aziz Nasirzadeh, Minister of the Ministry of National Defense—were killed in the bombing.
