Before the action, he gave a heads-up to 'understanding king' Trump, meaning that the signal was given. But did he wait for the Western embassies and families to evacuate smoothly before taking action? Haha, he didn’t even wait! Some people here might still be packing their bags, and the bombs were already falling. Iran must be completely stunned! They might still be watching the evacuation progress, calculating how much face Netanyahu would give the West, waiting until everyone leaves before deciding? The problem is, did they just meet Netanyahu for the first time? This guy, when has he ever cared about what others say?
The old guy immediately appeared on TV, speaking with conviction: he announced to the camera that the 'special military operation' had begun, with a fierce-sounding code name—'The Power of the Lion'! (What a bold name!) The target? Very direct: to strangle Iran's nuclear weapons capabilities, preventing it from having nuclear strike capability. He made it clear: this is not some quick 'minor operation'; Israel must 'go all out.' He also claimed 'initial victory,' but then doused the whole nation with cold water— the war has only just begun! He warned the entire nation: the air raid alert is no joke; remain vigilant, don’t run around near shelters; something might fall on your head at any moment!
What’s even more astounding is the process! Israeli planes boldly flew over the airspace of Jordan, Syria, and Iraq! Yes, you heard that right! These countries didn’t make a peep! No interception, no protests, not a shadow in sight! This flight path was as if they were flying in their own backyard, completely unimpeded; isn't that infuriating?
What about Iran? It's a scene of chaos!
Khamenei quickly came out to 'calm the troops': addressing the nation, he shouted, 'Comrades! I am still here! Don't panic! Stay steady!' At the same time, he announced: the commander of the Revolutionary Guards has been replaced by General Bagheri.
Why the change in leadership? There’s an answer behind it— the Revolutionary Guards wanted to retaliate desperately, trying to launch ballistic missiles at Israel. But in such a rush, they weren't prepared at all; the missiles could only be launched sporadically and in small numbers, far from achieving the saturation attack effect of the earlier 'missile rain' retaliations! This last-minute effort was insufficient in firepower!
The deadliest strike came: Israel's first wave of attacks was both fierce and precise! They directly bombed the residence of a group of high-ranking Revolutionary Guard officers! Just think about that moment, the generals who were at home resting and off duty must have been dreaming in their beds... Boom! There was no chance for regret.
Result? Tragic!
Commander of the Revolutionary Guards Salami—gone!
Commander of the Quds Force Qani (a former subordinate of Soleimani)—also gone!
Deputy Chief of Staff Rashid—instantly taken out!
Commander of the Aerospace Force Hajizadeh—directly passed away!
The pro-government media in Lebanon couldn't help but mock the situation: Iran's grand performance has only just begun for ten minutes, and the number of military leaders taken out has already 'surpassed' the total number of casualties from Hezbollah at the front line over the past few weeks! This is heart-wrenching; in just ten minutes, they've almost lost everything!
In the Iranian TV studio, the female anchor couldn't hold it together. It's live! Tears immediately streamed down her face as she broke down and cried in front of the entire nation...
