Iran's IRGC Strikes Israel and Gulf Targets, Shutting Hormuz on Conflict's 100th Day

Summary
Iran's IRGC retaliated within minutes of its supreme leader's killing, striking targets in Israel and Gulf states, destroying US bases and shutting the Strait of Hormuz, the report says.
The account says US, Israeli and British intelligence backed a decapitation strategy meant to trigger state collapse in Iran, but protests were suppressed and the state held together.
100 days into the conflict, fighting has resumed rather than ending in the expected two to three weeks, with many US soldiers reported dead and Gulf oil exports disrupted.
The report argues the closure of Hormuz will deepen global economic pain and eventually force negotiations in which Iran retains leverage over shipping and regional war aims.
