Iran Mourns After Supreme Leader Killed in US-Israeli Attack
Iran has declared a 40-day period of mourning following the tragic death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a US-Israeli attack. The attack also claimed the lives of senior security officials and members of Khamenei's family, marking one of Iran's most significant losses since the 1979 Islamic revolution.
Protests have erupted across Iran, with people expressing their grief and anger over the incident. Cities like Tehran, Shiraz, and Lorestan have seen large gatherings as citizens mourn the loss of their leader. Neighboring countries such as Iraq and Pakistan have also declared mourning periods in solidarity with Iran.
The US and Israeli forces have faced criticism for the attack, with analysts warning that it could escalate regional tensions. Iran has vowed to seek revenge and is reported to have carried out retaliatory strikes against US and Israeli targets across the Middle East. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has reportedly launched attacks on 27 bases hosting US troops and Israeli military facilities in Tel Aviv.
