Shalom, friends.
The second week of Operation Roaring Lion opened with black rain over Tehran and cluster warheads over central Israel. The IAF continues targeting senior roles— it killed the supreme leader’s military chief within 50 minutes of receiving the intelligence. Mojtaba Khamenei was officially installed as Iran’s new supreme leader, completing the hereditary succession of a regime founded to prevent exactly that. The Gulf is still absorbing Iranian fire, the northern front is accelerating, and the IRGC has promised to double heavy missile deployments starting tonight.
