In Sydney, it's March 3rd, and here's what is going on. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Kaminay and several top military officials were killed in a joint United States and Israeli strike on February 28th. The attack targeted a high-level security meeting in Tehran, catching the leaders gathered in one place. This came after weeks of build-up, marking a major blow to Iran's command structure. After this month, massive protests erupted across Iran over high prices, leading to a nationwide internet blackout and reports of heavy crackdowns. President Trump responded by deploying carrier groups, bombers, tankers, and troops to the region. Indiraht nuclear talks in Geneva wrapped up without progress, as Iran refused to limit uranium enrichment. Kaminay had stayed out of sight since June of last year, but ruled firmly from hiding. He survived the bomb attempt in 1981 that paralyzed his right arm. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it a strike on the tyrant's compound,

while Trump confirmed the deaths within 12 hours. The operation, dubbed Epic Fury by the U.S. and Warring Lion by Israel, relied on precise intelligence. It featured over 100 aircraft, cyberattacks to disrupt communications, B-2 bombers, drones, and cruise missiles hitting more than one, thousand targets. The goal was to shatter Iran's air defenses and leadership in a single wave. Iran fired back with hundreds of drones and missiles at Israel, U.S. bases, and Gulf states, while closing the strait of Hormuz and activating. Hezbollah Netanyahu warned of more strikes ahead, and Trump said the campaign could last four weeks or longer, with operations scaling up. DNN is brought to you by our sponsor.
