Below are excerpts from Amir Tsarfati Telegram page. Most reliable information I have found. When Iran begins to attack even their neighbors, one can understand the evil they were. The world will be a safer place because of the strength of the U.S. and Israeli military and their intelligence. Prayers for safety and wisdom to the coalition. Rh
An important clarification:
President Trump decided to join Israel’s already planned preemptive strike. In early October 2025, Prime Minister Netanyahu received indications that Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs were being restored and moved underground. The IDF and Mossad were immediately ordered to prepare for another strike.
In late December, Netanyahu arrived at Mar-a-Lago to inform President Trump of these developments and received the green light to proceed. Then came early January, when the regime massacred tens of thousands of unarmed young Iranians. President Trump concluded that intervention was necessary to bring an end to the current regime. He promised that help was on the way and immediately ordered the U.S. military to join the IDF’s efforts to gather intelligence and amass forces.
The Iranians began positioning their missiles toward Israel and U.S. bases and were about to decide on launching a strike. That very meeting of Iran’s top military and political leadership became the golden moment. The Israeli Air Force launched its largest-ever sortie, deploying over 250 fighter jets in a massive opening blow that eliminated the supreme leader, members of his family, and his top advisors.
About 30 senior officials were eliminated in just 30 seconds in yesterday’s Israeli opening strike
IDF Spokesperson: We eliminated 40 commanders and senior officials of the regime in the opening strike – within one minute.
The Iranian Regime’s Plan for the Destruction of Israel: A Sharp Acceleration in the Regime’s Missile Production Capabilities
Currently, the regime produces dozens of ballistic missiles per month with a clear acceleration in its recovery pace—an attempt to produce ~8,000 missiles by 2027.
In addition, the regime is investing significant efforts in fortifying its underground production infrastructure.
The possession of missiles by a regime that has declared its intent to destroy Israel constitutes an existential threat.
