The Israeli operation, named 'Rising Lion,' involved drone strikes and commando teams targeting Iran’s nuclear and military leadership. By dawn, key officials of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's regime had been killed in swift attacks using explosives and drones. The operation emphasized pre-strategized intelligence and resources that had been covertly positioned within Iran, with the aim of eliminating decision-makers in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the regime. As the situation escalated, airstrikes also targeted nuclear facilities, marking a significant and coordinated campaign from Israel.
By dawn, members of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's inner circle and key figures in the country's nuclear brain trust were dead, in some cases apparent casualties of explosives-packed drones or other devices.
The operation, dubbed 'Rising Lion,' relied on the activation of clandestine intelligence teams, pre-positioned weapons caches and capabilities that had lain dormant inside Iranian territory.
