Israel launched Sunday a new wave of airstrikes on Iran, as the country woke up to a reality without its veteran supreme leader killed in U.S. and Israeli attacks a day earlier.
Hours after the U.S. and Israel said an airstrike killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the military campaign to overthrow the government of the Islamic Republic, Iran's state media confirmed the 86-year-old leader had died.
The Israeli military said Sunday that he had been killed in a large-scale operation carried out by its air force.
In another blow for Iran's leaders, Armed Forces Chief of Staff Abdolrahim Mousavi was killed in the strikes, broadcaster Iran TV said.
The United States will hit Iran "with a force that has never been seen before," Trump warned Sunday, if the Middle East nation hits back after the strikes.
