This is really not good. This is probably the worst thing I have ever seen a US president do in my lifetime. This is like 9/11 for Iran, worse than 9/11. 168 kids suddenly killed during a time of peace. This is terrorism.
Has the US created the perfect storm for a lifetime of war with Iranians?
edit: its 168 kids..

It genuinely makes my sick to my stomach.
That was no accident, nor was it a cruise missile and definitely too small to be a Tomahawk. Steep angle trajectory indicates high altitude and very high speed in video looks similar to munition used on Ayatollah.
Blue Sparrow
# Israel’s jet-launched ballistic missile that took Khamenei by surprise
0503 Blue Sparrow missile
Israel used a little-known ballistic missile that travels into space [to kill Iran’s supreme leader](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/02/28/irans-supreme-leader-khamenei-found-dead-in-rubble/) in a surprise attack.
Blue Sparrow missiles, which are produced by Israel and have a range of about 1,240 miles, leave Earth’s atmosphere before crashing down, making them ideal for a strike on a highly guarded target such as Ali Khamenei.
Long grey cylinders of debris from the missile have been found in western Iraq along what was presumably its flight path to Iran.
The Blue Sparrow is part of an air-launched missile series, including the Black Sparrow and Silver Sparrow, designed to simulate the Scud missiles, similar to those fired at Israel by Iraq [during the 1991 Persian Gulf War.](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/11/30/day-operation-desert-storm-ends/)
Israel may have used the Blue Sparrow missiles in its [assault on Iran in April 2024,](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/04/19/why-israel-attacked-iran-could-it-spark-war-middle-east/) given similar debris that was uncovered in the aftermath, but their use has been limited.

“Intelligence” is doing a LOT of heavy lifting in that headline.
