Israeli strike on Iran inspired by ‘Game of Thrones’ red wedding scene
A clinical Israeli strike that wiped out dozens of Iran’s top military commanders was inspired by a brutal “Game of Thrones” scene.
The stealth attack was code-named “Red Wedding” — after a notorious massacre from the HBO series in which an entire family is slaughtered in mere minutes, the Times of Israel first reported.

The real-life operation on June 13 — part of the start of the 12-day war — saw more than 200 Israeli Air Force aircraft striking roughly 100 targets, specifically nuclear facilities and missile factories.
Like the “Game of Thrones” scene, it quickly led to a bloodbath, obliterating a swath of high-ranking Iranian officials — including Gen. Hossein Salami, the head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard; Mohammad Bagheri, chief of the country’s military; and Gholam Ali Rashid, head of Iran’s emergency command.
Israel was able to trick some top commanders of Iran’s air force into gathering for a meeting before they were targeted in one strike, Israeli officials previously revealed.
Meanwhile, Defense Minister Israel Katz said the Jewish state had been actively hunting Tehran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei during the 12-day onslaught — but the ideal opportunity to assassinate him never came through.
“I estimate that if Khamenei had been in our sights, we would have taken him out,” Katz told Israeli TV on Thursday.
“But Khamenei understood this, went underground to very great depths and broke off contacts with the commanders who replaced those commanders who were eliminated, so it wasn’t realistic in the end.”
Khamenei went into hiding after Israel launched its initial onslaught.
He only surfaced Thursday to bizarrely claim victory over Israel and America after President Trump announced a cease-fire between the warring nations.
“The Islamic Republic was victorious and, in retaliation, delivered a hand slap to America’s face,” Khamenei had claimed — despite Iran’s heavy losses.
