The US and Israel carried out airstrikes inside Iran, killing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other senior leaders. Iran retaliated by launching missiles toward Israel and Gulf nations hosting US bases. The conflict widened on Monday as Hezbollah attacked Israel, prompting Israeli counterstrikes in Lebanon while the US continued pounding targets in Iran. Iran's IRGC claimed its "Operation True Promise 4" targeted Netanyahu's office in Tel Aviv, with Israeli PM Netanyahu's fate described as "unclear."
