The U.S. and Israel carried out coordinated strikes across Iran aimed at degrading Tehran's military capabilities and preventing a nuclear weapons program, President Trump said. Iran later confirmed that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed; CBS and other outlets reported he and President Masoud Pezeshkian were among initial targets. A CBS News data-team map identifies strikes including Isfahan, Qom and Tabriz. U.S. officials said Tomahawk missiles and one-way attack drones were used, and the IDF warned civilians to evacuate military-industrial areas.

U.S., Israeli strikes in Iran (Locator map)
The U.S. and Israel launched coordinated strikes across Iran on Saturday in an operation President Trump described as intended to degrade Tehran's military capabilities and prevent the development of a nuclear weapon.
President Trump said late Saturday that Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in the strikes; Iran later confirmed his death. A source involved in the Israeli operation told CBS News that Khamenei and Iran's president, Masoud Pezeshkian, were among the targets in the initial wave of attacks.
A map compiled by the CBS News data team—based on statements from government officials and reporting from CBS News and the Associated Press—plots the reported strike locations across the country. Iranian outlets reported strikes in several cities, including Isfahan (home to a major nuclear facility), the holy city of Qom, Karaj, Kermanshah, Lorestan and Tabriz.
Israeli Statements and Warnings
In a video address, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel was targeting military sites, including missile installations, and that the attacks would continue "as long as necessary."
The Israel Defense Forces warned "all individuals located inside or near military industrial factories and military infrastructure" that they were near "weapons and facilities that are dangerous" and urged immediate evacuation of such areas "until a new announcement" was issued. "Your presence in these locations puts your life at risk," the notice said.
U.S. Military Actions
Two U.S. officials told CBS News that the U.S. military used Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles (TLAMs) to suppress Iranian air defenses and deployed one-way attack drones in the operation. Other details remain subject to official confirmation as events continue to develop.
