In an unprecedented military escalation, Israel and the United States have conducted a wide-ranging attack on Iran. A report from Israel Hayom has characterized the military assault as focused on a 'high-value target bank.' According to this report, the military campaign seeks to achieve three primary objectives: to eliminate the political leadership, dismantle the military infrastructure of the Revolutionary Guard, and strike against security forces that have been responding to domestic protests.

The report specifically names several figures at the forefront of U.S.-Israeli objectives, starting with Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who is viewed as the ultimate decision-maker in strategic matters from the nuclear program to regional influence. Other notable figures include Mojtaba Khamenei, the Supreme Leader’s son and considered a potential successor, Ali Larijani, Secretary of the National Security Council and a close associate of Khamenei, and Ali Shamkhani, the Head of the Defense Council, who oversees sensitive state files related to security and defense.

This military action marks a significant shift in U.S.-Israeli policy towards Iran, reflecting increased tensions in the Middle East and heightening fears of broader conflict. The implications of such an operation could lead to retaliatory actions by Iran, affecting both the stability of the region and global geopolitical dynamics. The focus on high-profile Iranian leaders suggests a strategy aimed not just at military disruption, but at a potential regime change in Tehran.
