The assault began with waves of cruise missiles fired from U.S. warships and submarines, followed by airstrikes from stealth bombers and fighter jets.
Within hours, hundreds of targets across Iran had been struck.
These targets included:
Ballistic missile launch sites
Air defense systems
Command and control centers
Intelligence facilities
The strikes were designed to cripple Iran’s ability to coordinate retaliation and disrupt its missile capabilities.
