How did the CIA and Mossad managed to track down the Iranian Supreme Leader secret compound? It all started around 8:00 in the morning. CIA track some highle Iranian leaders at this building right in the heart of Tehran.
US intelligence shared a critical tip with their Israeli counterparts. For months, they've been quietly hacking into Iranian communication channels using Space Force loworbit satellites. But pulling off a strike isn't that simple.
In the first wave, they had to neutralize a larger number of Iran's anti-air defense systems. This critical step cleared the airspace for a massive strike force of around 200 Israeli jets. But this area is highly fortified.
So, how do you destroy a deeply buried target like this? Well, they use bunker busters. Their delayed fuses punch through deep concrete before detonating.
This is part one. How exactly did Israel and the United States managed to assassinate one of the most heavily protected men on the planet? The answer, an unprecedented joint operation.
For months, the CIA and elite Israeli units waged a shadowy intelligence war. Using a web of surveillance satellites, intercepted comms, and human spies, they mapped Ayatala Kamini's every move in absolute secrecy. Utilizing a sophisticated web of low Earth orbit surveillance satellites, intercepted encrypted communications, and highly placed human assets deep within the regime, they painstakingly mapped Ayatala Ali Kamini's every movement, security protocol, and daily pattern.
The vulnerability, the Pastor Street Summit. The critical breakthrough came when American intelligence identified a fleeting yet massive vulnerability, the highly classified morning summit. Top tier Iranian military commanders, security advisers, and political officials were converging on the heavily guarded Pasture Street compound in the heart of central tan.
Shielded by layers of urban infrastructure, league guard details, and what they believed was an impenetrable umbrella of state-of-the-art air defenses. Like the homegrown Baver missiles as wealthy as 400 radar system located all over the city, the leadership gathered in a false sense of absolute security. Here comes part two.
How many aircrafts were involved in taking out a single target? The focal point of the operation was bite robberry Kamini's highly secure official residence in centralized office compound located in the heart of downtown Tran. While they use around 200 aircrafts, the localized strike on bite robbery was the anchor of a massive flawlessly synchronized aerial campaign flew all the way from Israel with flying oil tankers, the largest military fly over in its history.
The Israeli Air Force deployed an armada of approximately 200 fighter jets equipped with GPS bunker buster bombs. As stated, he was actually occupying a shallower subterranean facility, the freef falling guided bomb, which the IDF deployed as the munitions. It easily pierced the earth and reinforced concrete, triggering a catastrophic collapse of the entire underground structure.
According to leaked Israeli intelligence reports, exactly 30 heavy munitions were dropped directly onto the Supreme Leader compound to guarantee total structural failure. Obliterating such targets relies on specialized bunker buster munitions equipped with delayed action fuses, allowing them to physically penetrate deep into the ground and concrete before detonating. As a dedicated specialized squadron delivered the 30 bunker busters directly to Kamin's compound, the rest of the Armada operated simultaneously across Iranian airspace.
They dropped hundreds of munitions to over 500 targets, instantly blinding critical air defenses and neutralizing ballistic missile silos. Here comes part three, and this is Iran's mistake. How the Iranian made a very big mistakes to protect its leader.
Because he was occupying a shallower subterranean facility, the deployed munitions easily pierced the earth and reinforced concrete, triggering a catastrophic collapse of the entire underground structure. Intelligence sources later revealed a critical tactical flaw in his positioning. He was not sheltering in one of the compound's two deepest maximum security bunkers facilities that would have required the heaviest, highly specialized US ordinance to crack.
If he had switched places, he would have been at least safe. And here is part four. How many were exactly killed?
While the complete list of eliminated targets is still undergoing global intelligence assessment, the strike successfully decapitated Iran's operational leadership in a single devastating blow. Killed alongside Kamini were top tier military figures, most notably Major General Muhammad Papor, the head of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, and top national security adviser Ali Shankhani. Tragically, the blast also claimed the lives of several of Kamine's family members who were present.
But the first wave with 200 jets and US Tomahawk cruise missiles did not just hit his compound. The US cruise missiles was the one to take out anti-air defense system. While the 200 IDF jets took out the Iranian leadership.
All in all, US and Israeli forces struck approximately 2,900 targets across Iran according to US Central Command in just one day.

com/itelly and get 60% off on an annual plan. But what weapon was used to penetrate layers of concrete? Well, they have this bunker buster bomb.
It has a laser sensor at the front and just behind that are adjustable fins. In the midsection, there is a warhead that weighs approximately 650 lb containing tritonal explosive. This is a mixture of 80% TNT and 20% aluminum powder.
Finally, we have the retractable fins at the rear. To give you a better sense of its size, comparing it to a person can be helpful. The casing has a length of approximately 19 ft long, which translates to around 5 m.
This section is made of an artillery barrel, which is very strong, and has a diameter of 14. 5 in, which translates to around 37 cm, making it relatively narrow. They intentionally made the smaller cross-sectional area.
This means the bomb displaces less material, whether earth or concrete, as it penetrates layers of reinforced bunkers or building, thus allowing it to travel further to almost 100 m. At first glance, it appears to be an ordinary six-story residential building complete with a solar panled roof. However, there's more to this structure than meets the eye.
What makes this building particularly noteworthy is its underground basement, which is rumored to contain a network of tunnels. These tunnels are believed to serve as emergency escape routes, adding to the site's strategic importance. We've put together a few different scenarios to help you better understand the IDF's assassination tactics.
The CIA and IDF would employ spies and agent to gain informations on a high-value target. With a clear line of sight, the operative waits for confirmation that the high-value target has arrived at the meeting point. This target reportedly arrived at underground headquarters in the southern suburbs for a meeting with several top leaders.
The tip off was allegedly received by Israeli officials on the afternoon of Saturday, September 27th. A fighter jet was expected to target and illuminate the building using its laser targeting pod, focusing on one of the specific buildings. Subsequently, a dozen of F-15 jets dropped not one but 80 bombs of various types.
The tip of the spear would have been the bunker buster bomb that can penetrate through this six-story building, leveling all six structures to the ground and in the process eliminating Haza Nasha in the action. Let's consider scenario two. If an Iranian spy had not assisted the IDF, a MASA agent or soldier might have been nearby, confirming Nasa's location or possibly illuminating the target with a groundbased laser.
In this case, GPS coordinates would have been transmitted to the IDF. Once ready, the F-15 jets would have dropped around 80 bombs of different types, leveling the entire sixbin complex. The reason for dropping so many bombs was to ensure the elimination of a high value target like Hazan Najella.
Unfortunately, the collateral damage resulted in a significant number of innocent civilian casualties, a tragic cost associated with this operation. And finally, we have scenario three, which is the most likely. Hacking Hezbollah's communication system for the last 5 years to intercept encrypted messages without deploying any agents into Lebanon or Beirut.
Upon learning that the Hezbollah leader had arrived at the building, an F-15 fighter jets flew and dropped barriage of bombs, eliminating the entire leadership inside the underground bunker. Out of the 80 bombs used, the IDF also deployed the Mark 82 weapon, the Bunker Buster and the GBU39, which were part of a purchase valued at around $3 billion from the US. Let's take a look at how this works.
Step one, first a laser is used to illuminate the target or GPS guidance is already assigned to it. Step two, Hannah 15 jet flies near the illuminated target and the bomb is released. Step three.
Once the bomb is dropped, the guidance system at the front connects with the tail and fins. This enables the bomb to make precise adjustments, guiding it accurately to its target. Step four.
As mentioned, this is a bunker buster bomb designed to penetrate around 6 m of reinforced concrete bunkers and can travel up to 100 ft of soft ground or buildings. Step five. In the past, the GBU28 has been equipped with a delay fuse like this one, allowing it to detonate after penetrating its target rather than exploding on impact.
The bomb contains 700 lb of TNT, which generates a blast radius of several hundred m. Quite significant for a bomb of this size. As an engineering channel, we will also look into how these Mark 80 and 82 series of weapon can be turned into a guided bomb.
When released, it falls just like a normal dumb weapon. As stated, the bomb can be fitted with a nose fuse, a tail fuse, or both simultaneously. Upon hitting the ground, the frontal fuse activates, burning the fuse conduit from the front to the back, thus creating a huge explosion.
The alternative option is using the tail fuse FMU139. This is usually used for delayed action and is set by the pilot. When it's the target, the weight of the bomb will penetrate the concrete surface of a building.
The fuse activates and the conduit rod, which creates the 500 lb explosion after a few seconds, as programmed. This can create a lot of damage considering its small $4,000 price tag. We also made a deep dive into the sea, air, and land components of the nuclear triad.
