Iran Launches Attacks Against US, Israel After Khamenei's Death

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and top security officials have been killed in the US and Israel’s attack against Iran on Saturday. The official IRNA agency has confirmed the death of the army’s chief of staff, Abdul Rahim Mousavi, and Defence Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh.

After Iran’s leader is martyred, Article 111 of the Iranian constitution mandates a temporary council to handle the duties until a new supreme leader is elected.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) pledges revenge and says it has launched attacks on 27 bases hosting US troops in West Asia/Middle East, as well as the Israeli military facilities in Tel Aviv.

Explosions continue to be heard in Qatar and the UAE.

US President Donald Trump has warned Iran of unprecedented force if it retaliates, as fresh blasts were heard across the Gulf cities of Dubai, Doha, and Manama. The US will hit Iran with a force that has never been seen before.

The Israeli military said to launch a wave of strikes against Iranian ballistic missile and air defence sites.
