New Delhi: The US and Israel launched a joint military operation against Iran, targeting top Iranian leaders and military bases. Several powerful explosions rocked the Iranian capital, Tehran, causing significant damage to the residence of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iranian media has confirmed Khamenei’s death.
Iran has now launched retaliatory missile attacks against Israel and US bases in the Gulf. Iran has a population of approximately 93 million and an area of approximately 1.6 million square kilometers. A large portion of the population lives in major cities like Tehran, Mashhad, and Isfahan, which are within the potential range of attack.
Israeli forces targeted Khamenei and President Masoud Pezeshkian. Iranian state media confirmed that Pezeshkian is safe. Iran has launched retaliatory strikes across the Middle East. Tehran attacked US bases in Israel and the Gulf region.
Iran Prepares to Retaliate
Iran’s Foreign Minister has vowed to retaliate. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who is leading nuclear negotiations on behalf of Tehran, said that the Iranian military will give the attackers a befitting reply. Iranian missiles have already reached Gulf countries, posing a threat to US military bases.
US President Donald Trump called on Iranians to take control of their government. He said that Iran rejected the agreement that could have prevented this war. Meanwhile, the Israeli Prime Minister said that this attack could give Iranians an opportunity to determine their own future.
