Over the weekend, Israel and the US launched an all-out missile attack on Iran in an operation that has been dubbed 'Operation Epic Fury.'

Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has been killed in the strikes along with 48 other senior Iranian regime figures. 

The attack comes at a time of widespread unrest in Iran, after Ali Khamenei's government killed tens of thousands of protestors opposing the regime. 

Founder of Iranian Women in New Zealand Dr. Forough Amin told Matt and Tyler that, 'We know that it's going to prevent the regime from killing more people, and Iranians have been celebrating.'
