Washington: President Donald Trump says Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in massive US and Israeli attack, which Trump said will continue with heavy bombing throughout the week. Iran has claimed its leaders are \u201csafe and sound.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump has indicated the military operation is aimed at overturning Tehran\u2019s government. More than 200 people have been killed in Iran, according to state media.<\/p>\n
Iran unleashed strikes on US military bases, Israel and other targets across the Middle East, rocking densely populated areas and disrupting air travel and oil shipments.<\/p>\n
The military has reported no combat-related American casualties. FBI counterterrorism teams are on high alert, and the State Department advised US citizens around the world to \u201cexercise increased caution.\u201d<\/p>\n
The United Arab Emirates called the conflict a \u201chistoric moment\u201d in the Middle East, saying world leaders had failed to ensure the region\u2019s stability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
