It's still unclear what actually happened - the best we have is stuff from OSINTers like thread from my other comment.
Seems they tried a decapitation strike, but apparently Khamenei was in some other place? But nothing is known for sure at this point. To kill Pezeshkian seems dumb to me as he was more moderate one.
If they succeed in taking some leaders out, even I know, everyone in the hierarchy has been instructed to have at least 4 people each ready to take their positions over.
US and Israel carry out joint attack on Iran as Tehran launches retaliatory strikes
UPD1
Israel has launched a daylight attack on Tehran, just now. Multiple explosions have been reported in Iran's capital. It isn't clear yet what was targeted, so starting a thread with geolocations.
Iran's Defence Minister Amir Nasirzadeh and Revolutionary Guards commander Mohammed Pakpour are believed to have been killed in Israeli attacks, two sources familiar with Israel's military operations and one regional source said.

"Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He's weak and he's ineffective."
Here we go again...
CNN said it was for "Amalek" and "to fulfill the mitzvah of remembering Amalek."
Israelis and Huckabee are positively giddy about the attacks. The way they describe and take for granted the security blanket Israel enjoys by being a financial and military parasite on the world.
Seems like a good time to protest the abuses of the deep state (aka a few billionaires, Israel and its lobby).

Seems this is stupid.

Stupidest bloody whack-a-mole ever.

I'd guess they'd have early warning systems.
It wouldn't upset me if they struck back at Bibi, Rabi Shmuley, and/or other leaders or religious leaders. Less innocent collateral damage.

As Santa I promised soooooo many people world peace for Christmas.
The season tis over I guess.
If they ask, I'll just say the whirled peas are still on their way but caught up at customs.

Good thing it was the Defense Minister.
Imagine if they struck a War Minister?
