The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has announced: "The heaviest offensive operations in the history of the Iranian Armed Forces will soon begin, targeting occupied territories and American terrorist military bases. This will be the 'most brutal offensive action' against the US and Israel." The IRGC has declared a new wave of attacks on 27 American military bases in Western Asia, according to Press TV.

Admiral Ali Shamkhani, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, and Major General Mohammad Pakpour, the Commander of the IRGC, have been killed. This was reported by the IRNA agency on March 1.

The Iranian president, the head of the judiciary, and one of the members of the Guardian Council of the Constitution will assume the responsibilities of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was killed as a result of the US and Israeli attack. This was announced by Iran's First Vice President Mohammad Mohber.

The IRGC has vowed to avenge the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's assassination will not go unanswered. This was stated on March 1 by Masoud Pezeshkian, the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in his office while performing official duties, with the assassination occurring early on Saturday, February 28. Reports from Fars agency indicate that four family members of Ali Khamenei have died as a result of Israeli and US strikes, including his daughter, son-in-law, grandson, and one of his daughters-in-law.

US President Donald Trump stated to CBS that it has become "easier to reach an agreement with Iran than it was a day ago" following US and Israeli strikes that have resulted in the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The United States believes that the strikes on Iran have led to the deaths of about 40 members of the Islamic Republic's leadership, according to CBS, citing sources within the Pentagon and the US intelligence community.

The Washington administration expected an Iranian retaliatory strike against American forces and facilities in the Middle East, but anticipated it would be significantly more powerful, according to President Donald Trump. There have been no casualties among American military personnel during the attacks on Iran, as reported by the Pentagon's Central Command (CENTCOM).

During the first 12 hours of the military operation against Iran, American forces delivered approximately 900 strikes, as reported by Fox News correspondent Jennifer Griffin on the social network X. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have reported the launch of new missiles from Iran.

The military operation against Iran was initially calculated to last five days, but the timeline may change, reported the Axios portal, citing President Donald Trump as well as an unnamed representative of the Washington administration. President Trump stated that military operations against Iran would continue indefinitely, throughout the week, or as long as necessary to achieve the set objectives.

“The Iranians were close to reaching an agreement but then retreated, were close again and retreated again, and I realized that they actually did not want a deal,” remarked Trump following the confirmation of the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a Truth Social post, noting that this is “the greatest opportunity for the Iranian people to reclaim their country.” He also indicated that some individuals in Iran are seeking “immunity.”

According to an American high-ranking official, the US-Israeli operational plan involves a large-scale bombing campaign that will last at least five days, as reported by Axios.
