In a dramatic escalation that is reshaping the Middle East, joint Israeli-American strikes hit Tehran and several Iranian cities early Saturday morning, targeting key pillars of the Islamic Republic, according to information obtained by Mena Today.
The raids struck high-ranking figures within the regime in what appears to be a coordinated and precision operation aimed at dismantling the leadership structure of the Iranian state.
Iranian state media moved quickly to reassure: President Massoud Pezeshkian is "safe and sound." The announcement signals that while the strikes were severe and targeted, the operation stopped short, at least initially, of eliminating the head of state.
A Regime Under Siege
The scale and precision of the strikes suggest months of intelligence preparation. By targeting regime pillars rather than purely military infrastructure, Israel and the United States appear to have pursued a strategy of decapitation and destabilization, striking at the nerve centers of Iranian power.
The full extent of the damage, the number of casualties, and the identity of the targeted figures remain unclear at this hour. Mena Today is working to confirm further details.

Hezbollah has received $200 million from Iran to help Lebanese displaced by this year’s war with Israel, two people with direct knowledge of the transfer said, the first significant aid from the group to supporters who bore the brunt of the conflict.
Seven months into this war, the Islamic Republic is in the tightest corner of its forty-seven years. That is not cheerleading; it is arithmetic.
US Vice President JD Vance said in an exclusive interview with Reuters that Iran must make a “meaningful” reduction in its nuclear enrichment capacity to satisfy US demands and end the countries’ seven-month war, even as Washington was unsure how Tehran makes decisions in negotiations.
