Strikes on Iran Continue as Tehran Retaliates with Attacks on Israel, Gulf Countries
In the aftermath of Saturday’s U.S.-Israel strikes that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei, Tehran has continued to attack Israel and Gulf countries over the night and on Sunday while Israel has also continued its offensive on Iran.
Following Khamenei’s death, Iran has vowed “the most devastating offensive operation” against US bases and Israel in retaliation. The president of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, said the assassination of Khamenei is an “open war against Muslims, especially Shiites, in all corners of the world”.
