Escalating Tensions: Iran Retaliates After Death of Supreme Leader
Tensions in the Middle East reach boiling point as Iran responds to the killing of Supreme Leader Khamenei in US-Israel attacks. Explore the latest developments in this evolving geopolitical crisis.
The Middle East has erupted into a state of heightened tension and uncertainty after the second day of coordinated US-Israel attacks that resulted in the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran has now launched a series of retaliatory strikes, pushing the region closer to the brink of all-out conflict.
The attacks began early yesterday morning with a barrage of missile strikes and airstrikes targeting key Iranian military and government installations. US and Israeli officials claim the operation was a preemptive measure to disrupt Iran's alleged plans for regional aggression. However, Iran has condemned the strikes as an act of blatant aggression and a violation of its sovereignty.
