Israeli military spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said more than 50 fighter jets dropped over 100 munitions on a deep underground bunker beneath residential neighborhoods in Tehran that Khamenei was meant to use to run the war, and that Iranian officials had kept using. Israel said it was still assessing the results.

Why it matters

Defrin said Iranian officials kept using the bunker because they thought it impenetrable, making it a direct strike on the shelter of the leadership that survived Khamenei's killing.
