In a significant escalation of the conflict, the U.S. military has confirmed that it has struck over 1,000 Iranian targets since launching 'Operation Epic Fury' following the assassination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. This operation has resulted in at least 48 key Iranian leaders being killed, with U.S. Central Command detailing that strikes have focused on critical military infrastructure, including Command and Control Centers and missile sites. The Iranian government has vowed to retaliate, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stating that Iran will place 'no limit' on its right to defend itself against what it describes as acts of aggression by the U.S. and Israel. The conflict has already resulted in the deaths of three U.S. military members and serious injuries to five others, with Iranian missile strikes reported to have caused casualties in Israel as well.
