- US-Israeli 'Operation Epic Fury' explicitly targets regime change in Iran. US strikes focus on nuclear/missile sites; Israel targets top leaders, aiming to decapitate the government.
- Iran retaliated regionally, firing missiles at US bases in Gulf states like Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. This drew Arab monarchies into the conflict, with Saudi Arabia joining the US.
- Key questions remain on Iran's remaining missile stocks and if air strikes alone can topple the regime. Iran prepared leadership replacements, but the war's spread is uncertain.
