Trump says US launching ‘massive and ongoing’ strikes in Iran by Eugenia Yosef and Tal Shalev

Israel’s focus is not “a regime change operation,” an Israeli military official said in a news briefing on Saturday, emphasizing that its focus is on military targets.

“However, individuals involved in directing attacks, promoting violence, or executing plans to destroy Israel can be considered legitimate targets if they are part of the operational war machine,” the Israeli military official told reporters.

“Leadership involvement in military aggression may place individuals within target scope – but the emphasis remains on military objectives,” the official said.

Those comments come as two Israeli sources familiar with the operation told CNN that the strikes targeted senior Iranian figures, including Iran’s supreme leader, president and armed forces chief.

Meanwhile: US President Donald Trump has called for regime change, urging Iranians in a video message to “take over your government” when US operations conclude. To read more about this go to the link below:
