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.

The Iran-backed Houthis are seeking to control the whole Yemeni Red Sea coast, which would further consolidate their leverage over the Bab el-Mandeb Strait — one of the busiest and most contested global maritime chokepoints.
President Donald Trump said he expected the war with Iran to end after the November U.S. midterm elections and threatened again to attack a site associated with the Islamic Republic's nuclear programme after the two sides launched their biggest wave of attacks on shipping since the start of the six-month-old war.
