Monday's A.M. Update recaps one of the most extraordinary geopolitical weekends in recent memory: President Trump announces Operation Epic Fury, a massive U.S.-led (with heavy Israeli involvement) campaign of precision strikes dismantling Iran's nuclear sites, missile capabilities, air defenses, naval forces, and proxy networks after Tehran rejects zero-enrichment demands and attempts rebuilding. Initial volleys eliminate Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and dozens of top IRGC and political leaders—enabled by CIA intel and executed by Israel—sparking nationwide celebrations in Iran. Iran's command structure fractures, with foreign minister admitting isolated, independent military actions; retaliatory strikes hit Gulf neighbors and bases, uniting regional powers against Tehran. Three U.S. service members killed in early action; domestic terror incident in Austin probed for links. Big-picture reflections on frightening allied military/intel capabilities, shifting Middle East dynamics, China's oil vulnerabilities, and lessons on decisive force versus endless nation-building.
