The US military confirmed it destroyed the headquarters of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Tehran during a large-scale strike, describing the operation as cutting off "the head of the snake." CENTCOM stated the IRGC had caused over 1,000 American deaths in 47 years. The strikes, part of a joint US-Israeli campaign following the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, targeted multiple Iranian military and command sites. Iran responded with missile and drone attacks across the Middle East, while appointing an interim leadership council. The conflict has escalated regional tensions with ongoing retaliatory actions.
