Multiple high-ranking Islamic Revolution Guard Corps commanders and regime officials were killed in Operation Epic Fury, according to a report.
US and Israel launched at least seven missiles on Iran Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s fortified compound, killing numerous senior officials, an Iranian source told Reuters.
Another 40 people were killed when Israeli missiles landed on a school, Reuters reported, citing Iranian state media.
