The allied forces of the United States and Israel continue this Wednesday to bombard the anti-aircraft defenses, missile launch systems and other targets of Iran’s security apparatus while the Islamic Republic dresses up amid the bombs to say its last farewell to the assassinated supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, whose body will be displayed in a ceremony in the center of Tehran that will last three days.
Despite the political and military disintegration of the regime as a result of the continuous attacks, the Islamic Republic maintains its wave of retaliatory attacks throughout the Persian Gulf. This morning, Saudi Arabia shot down ten drones and two projectiles while the Revolutionary Guard, according to a statement read on state television, claimed to have launched 40 missiles against American and Israeli targets.
Admiral Brad Cooper, head of Central Command, has detailed that 50,000 US military personnel, 200 aircraft and two aircraft carriers are participating in the operation. Epic Fury and in some 2,000 attacks launched “from the sea to cyberspace.” “My overall operational assessment is that we are ahead of our plan,” he said in a video. “We focus on bringing down the things that can bring us down.”

The Israeli Air Force has claimed responsibility this Wednesday for new attacks against military installations of the Iranian regime and against targets of the Basij, the key paramilitary militia in the internal security forces of the Islamic Republic. It has also intensified bombings on Lebanon, where Tel Aviv has deployed military personnel on the ground to combat the Shiite group Hezbollah.
The Israeli Defense Minister has promised to eliminate the new leader of the ayatollahs – the favorite is Khamenei’s son, who could be elected this Wednesday – if he does not amend the ideological doctrine championed by his predecessor for almost four decades. His Army claimed yesterday a precision attack against the Assembly of Experts, Iran’s most important religious body, although the details and whether there were fatalities are unknown.
According to the think tank Institute for the Study of War, the allied bombing campaign aims to destroy Iran’s ballistic capabilities before consuming all its interceptors and air defense munitions. “The decline in Iranian missile attacks against Israel and the United Arab Emirates suggests that the effort to destroy ballistic missile launchers has had considerable success,” the latest report explains.
Allied disagreements
With the war entering its fifth day, global markets remain in shock in the face of a prolonged conflict and the effects on oil and gas trade. Although the Revolutionary Guard claims to have control of the Strait of Hormuz, which would be blocked, Admiral Cooper has denied this situation and has assured that US forces are sinking “the entire Iranian Navy” and have already destroyed 17 warships.
In any case, Donald Trump promised in a statement on Tuesday that the US Navy could begin escorting oil tankers in the region if necessary. The Republican president also assured that many of his Administration’s candidates as the new Iranian supreme leader had died during the attacks and recognized that the election could be “as bad” as the figure of Khamenei.
A stark confirmation of the uncertainty that dominates the operation and its development. Trump, in fact, made no mention during his meeting with Chancellor Friedrich Merz at the White House of regime change being the objective of the bombings, directly clashing with the position of his main ally, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Sources cited by Reuters They point out that the campaigns of both countries pursue different results.
The news agency details that the US has held consultations in recent days with Iranian Kurdish militias about the possibility of attacking the security forces established in the western part of the Islamic Republic. The purpose of expanding the conflict with new war actors would be to unleash chaos and foment a rebellion against the Islamist rulers and their military apparatus.
