Tehran launches fresh retaliatory attacks as it confirms the death of decades-long leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in US-Israeli strikes.
Where things stand
US President Donald Trump crossed “a very dangerous red line” after Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei was killed in US-Israeli strikes, an Iranian official told CNN. Trump has indicated the strikes would continue through the week. Iran says one attack killed over 100 girls at an elementary school near a military base. Israel says it has carried out a new wave of strikes “in the heart of Tehran,” as Iran unleashes fresh attacks after Khamenei’s killing. Iran has already attacked US military bases, Israel, and targets across the region. The conflict has damaged air hubs, rocked densely populated areas, and disrupted oil shipments. The contrast of celebrations and mourning highlights deep divides in Iran. Across the US, people took to the streets, with some celebrating and others protesting the strikes on Iran.
