Israel’s military said it had hit command centers of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, following days of attacks focused on Tehran’s nuclear program, senior leadership and infrastructure. Iranian strikes overnight killed several people, while several Tel Aviv buildings not far from the U.S. consulate have been destroyed.
Meanwhile, President Trump nixed Israel’s plan to kill Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to a U.S. official. Calling Iran’s leadership “weak,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggested in a Fox News interview on Sunday that the conflict could result in a regime change.
An Iranian missile barrage over the weekend triggered a partial shutdown of an oil refinery in Israel as the two countries took turns striking at each other’s energy facilities. The hits mark an escalation that brings the conflict closer to an industry vital to the global economy and markets.
The ebb and flow of deadly strikes in both countries has forced residents to move between home and shelter. In Iran, the government has restricted internet access and warned against pro-Israel social-media posts.
