As Israel continues its offensive, senior Israeli officials have stated that "this is only the beginning." Meanwhile, reports from Iranian opposition networks, eyewitnesses, and regional intelligence sources point to a sweeping wave of targeted assassinations and precision strikes across Iran, with a heavy concentration in the Tehran area. The campaign is believed to have eliminated senior IRGC commanders, top nuclear scientists, and dozens of key military and scientific installations.
The following is the full list of individuals reported killed and locations targeted in what some are calling a "strategic decapitation strike."
