Saudi Push Led to US-Israel Joint Strikes on Iran, Khamenei Killed: Report
•"Operation Epic Fury" (US) and "Operation Roaring Lion" (Israel) were joint strikes on Iran, influenced by Saudi and Israeli lobbying.
•Saudi Arabia reportedly pushed the US to join Israel in attacks, leading to the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
•Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman privately urged US President Donald Trump, while Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu publicly campaigned for strikes.
•The combined influence led Trump to order a large-scale aerial operation, resulting in Khamenei's death and ending the "Second Revolution."
•Iran is observing 40 days of national mourning; focus is now on selecting Khamenei's successor and heightened security.
