Airstrikes have continued into a second day.

Tehran: Multiple explosions hit central districts, targeting the internal security and intelligence headquarters to further disrupt the regime's control.

Regime Infrastructure: Strikes are increasingly focused on the IRGC's internal security apparatus to prevent a crackdown on domestic protests.

Ballistic Facilities: B-2 stealth bombers were reportedly used to strike fortified missile silos to limit Iran's retaliatory capacity.

The conflict is now in a "war of survival" stage where the U.S. and Israel seek to dismantle Iran's systemic military power

Escalation of "Operation Truthful Promise 4"

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), operating under its decentralized command, has significantly expanded its target list.

Targeting the "Economic Heart": For the first time, Iranian missiles have struck critical energy infrastructure in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Major fires are reported at the Jebel Ali port in Dubai and energy facilities near Dhahran.

Saturation Success: Despite the U.S./Israeli multi-tiered defense, the sheer volume of the "sixth wave" (over 300 projectiles) resulted in "leakers." Impacts have been confirmed near the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and the Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar.

The "Interim Council" Issues First Proclamation

Ali Larijani, acting as the face of the interim leadership, made a televised address from an undisclosed location (likely a hardened bunker outside Tehran).

A "Total War" Stance: Despite his reputation as a pragmatist, Larijani declared a state of "unlimited defense" and refused any calls for a ceasefire until U.S. carriers exit the Persian Gulf.

Call for Martyrdom: He utilized the imagery of the Minab school strike to call for a general mobilization of the Basij militia, effectively turning the civilian tragedy into a primary recruitment and propaganda tool.

Diplomatic Ruptures in the Gulf

The regional coalition supporting the U.S. and Israel is under immense strain due to the domestic backlash over the school strike.

Jordan and Qatar's Dilemma: Following the visual confirmation of the 148 deaths in Minab, massive protests have erupted in Amman and Doha. Sources indicate that Qatar has privately warned the U.S. that it may restrict the use of its airspace for offensive sorties if civilian casualties continue to mount.

UN Emergency Session: An emergency session of the UN Security Council was convened late last night. While the U.S. vetoed a formal condemnation, Russia and China have officially labeled the strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh school a "clear violation of international humanitarian law."

Naval Engagements in the Strait of Hormuz
Swarm Tactics: U.S. Navy officials report that Iranian fast-attack boats have attempted to "swarm" the escort ships of the USS Abraham Lincoln.

Maritime Blockade: Iran has officially declared the Strait of Hormuz a "closed military zone," effectively halting 20% of the world's oil flow. Global oil prices have spiked to $145 per barrel in the last 18 hours.

Militarily, while Iran can harass and disrupt traffic using sea mines, fast-attack boats, and drones, a total, prolonged closure is unlikely.

Status of "The Old Guard" Survivors

Search for the "Deep Regime": While the top tier was eliminated, U.S. intelligence is now hunting for Mojtaba Khamenei (the late Supreme Leader’s son). Unconfirmed reports suggest he survived the initial strikes and is attempting to consolidate the IRGC's remaining hardliners to challenge Larijani’s interim council - signalling a possible internal power struggle is already underway.
