Over 6,000 members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps have been killed and about 15,000 wounded since the launch of Operation Roaring Lion and Operation Epic Fury, according to Israeli military intelligence. A senior military official said senior Iranian figures are being pursued and are attempting to erase their public presence online, as targeted killings create mounting pressure and confusion within the country's leadership.

The official said recent Iranian missile fire toward Turkey and Azerbaijan reflects growing disconnects between Iran's political leadership and operational forces. He also suggested that a recent public statement by Mojtaba Khamenei raised questions about the condition of Iran's supreme leader, noting that his absence from public view has fueled speculation.

Since the start of the war, more than 10,000 munitions have reportedly been used against Iranian targets. Israeli forces have expanded their campaign from early strikes on major command centers and military industries to broader attacks on missile systems, weapons depots, internal security infrastructure, and provincial command centers linked to the Basij militia.

The strikes, coordinated with the United States military, are aimed at degrading Iran's long term military capabilities and weakening the foundations of the regime. Officials said the damage inflicted on Iran's defense and security infrastructure will require extensive time and resources to repair.
