A senior Israeli intelligence official exclusively told Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst on Saturday, “We have more surprises coming up” for Iran.

“We cannot end this operation knowing that we will be in the same spot two years from now,” the official reportedly said. “Everything is going as planned. Actually, better than planned.”

“We have lots of surprises. Not just the ones we already did. We have more surprises coming up,” he added.

Yingst announced on X: Spoke with a Senior Israeli Intelligence Official who provided new details about the operation targeting Iran. Israel believes Iran currently has about 2,000 missiles, but Israeli intelligence projected that Iran would have an arsenal of 8,000 ballistic missiles over the next two years. This was part of the reason a decision was made to launch the operation.

In additional posts, Yingst added:

40 Iranian air defense systems were hit since the beginning of the operation, I’m told by a Senior Israeli Intelligence Official. Additional strikes are expected in the hours and days ahead.

The latest Israeli intelligence assessment is that 30 IRGC air force commanders and personnel were killed in this strike, I’m told.

Hours later, some of the “surprises” came to pass:

From Fox News: Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz declared “Tehran is burning” in a post on X early Sunday morning, as Israeli airstrikes reportedly hit multiple energy sites in and around Iran’s capital.

His comment follows reports that Israeli forces struck the Shahran Oil Depot to the west of Tehran, as well as another smaller oil facility in the southern part of the city.

The targeted facilities are considered significant parts of Iran’s domestic fuel infrastructure.

Satellite images and video shared on social media show large plumes of smoke rising over Tehran, though the full extent of damage has not yet been independently assessed.

The strikes are part of Israel’s ongoing retaliatory campaign against Iran after Iran launched multiple waves of ballistic missiles toward Israeli cities earlier this weekend.


In response to Katz’s declaration that “Tehran is burning,” X user Open Source Intel posted a video of the inferno and wrote, “Yes it is.”

And while the oil facilities are going up in flames, Iranians were heard shouting, “Death to Khamenei!”

It appears they are ready for the Iranian Supreme Leader to be overthrown.
