Israel's mission to wipe out Iran's top nuclear scientists and military leaders was years in the making and partially inspired by a particularly brutal scene in Game of Thrones.
The operation, in which coordinated bombs rained down on Tehran in a stealth attack on June 13, was referred to within Israel's ranks as the 'Red Wedding.' The name references one of the most infamous moments of television history, in which key players from the HBO series were wiped out in one fell swoop during the long-running television series.
In all at least 30 military officials, including the IRGC chief and Chief of Staff of Iran's Armed Forces, were killed, along with nine top Iranian scientists who were playing key roles in the nation's uranium enrichment program.
US President Donald Trump followed up the strikes with an assault of his own, dropping the military's 'bunker busters' on three of Iran's nuclear sites. He has since claimed the operation 'totally obliterated' Iran's nuclear capacity.
As of Wednesday, a total of 1,054 people in Iran, including at least 318 military personnel, have died due to Israel's assault.
To make it happen, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu began a weeks-long campaign of deception, fooling his own son and wife in the process and drawing the US into a fake disagreement to lull Iran's top brass
Israel's top generals watched as chaos descended upon Tehran from a bunker beneath the air force headquarters, waiting to learn if their meticulous plan had worked.
