Mapping the strikes on Iran
The map below identifies known strikes as of Saturday afternoon, while the next map shows the locations of 30 known nuclear sites and 17 missile sites in Iran, as identified by the Nuclear Threat Initiative organization prior to U.S. airstrikes in June 2025.
While most strike locations are general areas, satellite imagery confirmed damage in Tehran at the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s compound and billowing smoke near the Ministry of Intelligence offices, in addition to damage reported across Iran’s capital city.
President Donald Trump confirmed Saturday evening that Khamenei has been killed as a result of the operation that pummeled the Middle Eastern country.
Witnesses near the Intelligence Ministry told The Associated Press they heard multiple explosions followed by air defense activity.
Several strike areas align with regions long associated with Iranian military or strategic targets:
- Isfahan — site of major nuclear research and conversion facilities
- Qom Province — near deeply buried uranium enrichment infrastructure
- Kermanshah and Tabriz — areas linked to missile storage or launch history
- Tehran districts associated with command, intelligence and logistical operations
Iranian state TV reported that 85 people were killed in a strike on a school near Minab in the Hormozgan Province of southern Iran.
The Israeli military says about 200 fighter jets took part in the initial operation, striking roughly 500 targets including air defenses and missile launchers, describing it as the largest “military flyover” in its history.
