Reports: Israel Used Blue Sparrow Missile to Kill Khamenei
The strike, part of Israel's Operation Epic Fury, eliminated Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps figures following intelligence of a leadership meeting.
- On Saturday, March 7, Israeli jets struck the Pasteur Street compound in Tehran after taking off shortly after 7.30am and reaching launch positions roughly two hours later.
- U.S. and Israeli intelligence agencies spent years preparing and sharing targeting information after Mossad and Unit 8200 tracked Khamenei and senior commanders for Operation Epic Fury.
- The Blue Sparrow climbs close to the edge of space before diving at high speed; around 30 precision-guided munitions, including several Blue Sparrow missiles, were fired and fragments were found in Iraq, while Israeli cyber units disrupted local mobile networks shortly before impact.
- The strike reportedly killed several senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps figures and possibly members of Khamenei's family, while satellite imagery and social media videos showed severe damage across Tehran, marking a dramatic escalation across the Middle East.
- Amid protests, thousands in Liverpool celebrated Khamenei's death, and Adam Atashin said `The only thing we are asking for is our freedom and our lives back. We want a real democracy in Iran.
