Massive, unprovoked US-Israeli strikes against Iran began on Saturday morning and are continuing for the second day in a row.
The strikes have killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the head of the Iranian Republican Guard, and several other top officials, state media has confirmed.

Iran has responded with hundreds of missile and drone attacks targeting Israel and US bases across the Gulf region, accusing the US and Israel of violating its territorial integrity and sovereignty.

Hundreds of Iranian civilians have been killed, including more than a hundred schoolchildren in a single strike, which Iran blamed on Israel.

Shipping and air traffic across the Middle East have been plunged into chaos, with thousands of tourists stranded across airports.

Moscow, China, and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, along with several other nations, have condemned the US and Israeli attacks. The EU has criticized Tehran for its retaliatory strikes more than it has Israel and the US for its unprovoked aggression.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered his condolences over the killing of Khamenei, describing his death as a “cynical violation of all norms of human morality and international law.”
