Israel Unleashes New Strikes in Tehran as Public Mourns Khamenei
Israel launches fresh attacks in Iran's capital as the country bids farewell to late Supreme Leader Khamenei. U.S. officials report early gains, but Democrats caution against an escalating war.
In a dramatic escalation of tensions, the Israeli military has launched a broad wave of strikes targeting Tehran, the capital of Iran, on Wednesday morning. This latest military action comes as the Islamic Republic is in the midst of a public farewell for its late Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
U.S. officials have touted early gains from the strikes, suggesting that key Iranian military and government assets have been significantly damaged. However, Democratic lawmakers have warned that this conflict could rapidly spiral out of control, potentially widening the scope of the war.
