Editor-in-Chief of The War Zone (TWZ) Tyler Rogoway:

B-2s will likely show up tonight, making direct attacks on key targets in a way no other platform can.

Yes this could include MOPs, but also lots of JDAMs against less fortified targets.

They can achieve massive effects in a single sortie. One B-2 can carry 80 500lb JDAMs. Entire airfield’s infrastructure gone on a single pass.

They would not be employed until the night and they now have the benefit of highly degraded air defenses and disrupted command and control.

This is when the air campaign will change.

📸 Tel Aviv after Iranian missile impact.

IRGC:

The U.S. naval base in Kuwait was hit by 4 missiles and 12 Iranian drones.

During our attack on the U.S. naval base in Kuwait, a number of American forces were killed and wounded.

New post from Khamenei’s Twitter account.

Esmaeil Kowsari, a member of Iran’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, says Supreme Leader Khamenei is in full health and commanding the war effort.

He dismissed reports of his death as false rumors spread after failed assassination attempts, saying those behind them “will take that wish to the grave.”

The text on Khamenei's new post:

In the exalted name of Haidar (Imam Ali), peace be upon him.

Without him, there is no heaven or earth.

Without him, there is no loving like Zaynab.

NEW: CMA CGM has ordered all its vessels in the Gulf to seek shelter and has suspended transits through the Suez Canal.

BREAKING: Trump says Khamenei is dead.

Trump:

Khamenei was unable to avoid our Intelligence and Highly Sophisticated Tracking Systems and, working closely with Israel, there was not a thing he, or the other leaders killed along with him, could do.

This is the greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their Country.

Many IRGC, Military, and Security and Police Forces no longer want to fight and are looking for Immunity.

As I said, “Now they can have Immunity, later they only get Death!” Hopefully, the IRGC and Police will merge with the Iranian Patriots to bring back the Country to the Greatness it deserves.

The heavy and pinpoint bombing will continue, uninterrupted, as long as necessary to achieve PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST AND THE WORLD.

Reza Pahlavi says Ali Khamenei’s death marks the effective end of the Islamic Republic, calling him a “bloodthirsty tyrant” responsible for thousands of deaths.

He says any attempt to appoint a successor will fail and lack legitimacy.

He urges military and security forces to abandon the collapsing regime and join the people in a peaceful transition to a free Iran.

Pahlavi calls on Iranians to stay alert and prepare for mass street mobilization, saying the moment for decisive action is near and that victory and freedom are within reach.
