Recent Israeli airstrikes in Iran targeted command centers used by the Basij militia and internal security forces, aiming to weaken the Iranian government's control. These strikes are part of a larger operation, "Epic Fury" (called "Rising Lion" by Israel), which includes nearly 2,000 targets hit by the U.S. The operation follows a violent crackdown on protesters in January by the IRGC and Basij militia. Both Israeli and U.S. officials have suggested the possibility of regime change in Iran, with leaders encouraging the Iranian people to seize control of their government. The U.S. President has pledged support for the Iranian people, stating that this may be their only chance for generations to take over their government.
