Epic Fury began around 1:15am Eastern and targeted IRGC command centers, air defenses, and missile and drone launch sites. People clutch at sovereignty, but a regime built on coercion wants the benefit of law without its burdens.

Israel says more than 200 jets struck over 500 targets, so stop pretending this was symbolic. The point is cold and cruel, and yes, it is to change the regime's behavior or replace its bosses.
