Dozens of top Iranian regime officials, supreme leader killed in Israeli strikes

Israeli strikes killed dozens of Iranian defense leaders, including the ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a coordinated daytime attack on a Tehran compound Saturday.

More than 40 senior Iranian security and regime figures were eliminated in the strikes, a senior Israeli security official told Fox News.

It was one of the largest regime "decapitation operations" conducted in modern warfare history, the official added. Israeli intelligence managed to infiltrate the Iranian security echelon, making the strikes possible, the official explained.
