BREAKING: IDF Hits Iranian Supreme Council Meeting – They Were Picking the Next Ayatollah When the Strike Came (Video)
You know that precise, game-changing moment when Israel strikes at the heart of the Iranian regime, catching them in the act of trying to regroup after losing their supreme leader? That’s exactly what happened on Tuesday when Israeli forces targeted the Iranian Supreme Council as they gathered to choose a successor to the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. A senior Israeli official told Fox News’ Trey Yingst: “Good morning. I do want to just start with some breaking news here… I’m told by a senior Israeli official that the Israelis just struck the Supreme Council gathering where the Iranians were meeting to choose a new Supreme leader. This is a significant development and again speaks to the Israeli intelligence about this war. They just targeted the meeting in Tehran, where what’s left of the leadership was gathering to choose a new Supreme Leader.”

The IDF described the operation as a strike on Iran’s “most central and significant headquarters” in central Tehran. Specific targets included the Presidential Complex, the Structure of the Supreme National Security Council, and the Assembly Area of the Council of Experts. The uploaded image from the IDF shows a satellite view of Tehran with the targeted sites highlighted in red, including a map inset of Iran labeling Tehran as the target. Around 100 fighter jets dropped over 250 munitions on the complex, following intelligence collection aimed at degrading Iran’s command and control systems.

This latest strike comes amid escalating tensions after the death of Khamenei in U.S.-Israeli strikes on Saturday. Iran has since raised the ‘red flag of revenge’ above the Jamkaran Mosque, signaling potential retaliation. The council’s meeting to select a new leader was a critical vulnerability, and Israel’s precision hit it hard.
This is a massive blow to the Iranian regime, decapitating what’s left of their leadership at a pivotal moment. Trump’s strong support for Israel has enabled these decisive actions, showing America First means backing our allies against terror. The left will spin this as “escalation,” but it’s justice long overdue for a regime that’s sponsored terror for decades.
The world is watching — Iran’s Axis of Terror is crumbling, and freedom is winning.
I’m shrewd, passionate, learned and energetic, God-fearing and patriotic. I’ve done a fine job reintroducing good old American conservatism to a new generation of Americans. I’ve earned the love and friendship of many, the hatred of some, but the respect of all.
