"The US Central Command (CENTCOM) released new footage of US forces striking targets in Iran on Monday, as Washington, Tel Aviv and Tehran exchanged attacks for a third consecutive day. Footage shows the strikes hitting vehicles and weaponry, engulfing the equipment in flames. The exact date and location of the video shared by CENTCOM cannot be independently verified. "US forces are hitting Iran surgically, overwhelmingly and unapologetically. Operation Epic Fury is laser-focused on destroying Iranian offensive missiles," CENTCOM posted on X. Tensions escalated in the Middle East this week after the United States and Israel launched joint military operations against Iran, with President Donald Trump vowing to "raze their missile industry to the ground". Tehran responded with a series of missile and drone strikes targeting Israel and US military bases in the Gulf. On Sunday, Iranian state television confirmed that Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in strikes carried out on Saturday. The Supreme Leader, who had ruled since 1989, held ultimate authority over Iran's political, military and religious institutions. Iranian officials warned that Khamenei's killing would mark a turning point, with the Revolutionary Guard vowing retaliation and declaring that "this great crime will not go unpunished." The escalations follow three recent rounds of nuclear talks between Iranian and American officials, one held in Muscat and two in Geneva."
