military strikes

Iranian state media confirmed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei died in coordinated US-Israeli airstrikes on Tehran, with Iran declaring 40 days of mourning and appointing Ayatollah Alireza Arafi as acting leader amid threats of retaliation.

The United States and Israel launched coordinated strikes against Iran over the weekend, prompting Tehran to threaten closure of the Strait of Hormuz and retaliate with missile attacks on U.S. bases across Gulf states.
