The United States and Israel have launched a large-scale military campaign against Iran, targeting key sites in Tehran and other major cities, and killing Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran has retaliated with missile strikes against Israel and US allies across the Middle East, rapidly expanding the conflict to neighboring countries and threatening regional stability. The death toll is mounting, with hundreds killed in Iran and casualties reported in Israel, the US, and Gulf states. The attacks have drawn condemnation from countries in the Global South and raised serious questions about the legality of the strikes under international law.
As the war escalates, world leaders are calling for restraint, but the conflict shows no sign of ending soon and risks further destabilizing the region.
