Israel — IDF / Mossad
Assessment
Israel has escalated from military targets to government infrastructure — presidential offices, internal security command, Basij facilities. This signals a shift toward regime destabilisation. Simultaneously opening a Lebanon front with ground troops marks a dangerous two-front posture. The threat to assassinate Khamenei's successor is designed to paralyse Iranian political reconstitution but risks galvanising domestic Iranian unity.
Current posture
“IDF: 'Broad wave of strikes' on Tehran government infrastructure. Defence Minister Katz threatens to kill any Khamenei successor.”
- •10th wave of strikes against Iran — targeting presidential office, Basij buildings, internal security
- •Ground incursion into southern Lebanon to halt Hezbollah rocket fire
- •Striking Hezbollah weapons storage and command centres in Dahiyeh, Beirut
- •Issuing forced displacement orders for 59 areas in Lebanon
- •Threatening assassination of any new Iranian supreme leader

In the coming days, we will deepen the achievement.'
Opposition Leader Lapid: 'In all 13 years as a member of security cabinets, I do not recall a warning as severe as the one delivered last night.

Whoever doesn't serve doesn't get a penny.'
