Iran strikes US bases, Israel after Khamenei killing

Iran launched missile and drone strikes on Sunday targeting US military bases in the Gulf region and Israel in retaliation for the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. According to Iranian state media, the strikes hit approximately 27 US bases in the Persian Gulf and Kurdistan region of Iraq, as well as Israel's military headquarters and a defence industries complex in Tel Aviv. The attacks followed Khamenei's death in a US-Israeli assault, which President Trump described as eliminating one of history's most evil figures. Iran's Revolutionary Guards vowed the most ferocious operation against Israel and US bases in Gulf countries. The conflict escalates regional tensions with potential broader implications for global security.
