US President Donald Trump stated there is no clear succession plan in Iran following the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, killed in coordinated US-Israeli strikes. Now in its third day, the conflict has intensified dramatically with Iran launching hundreds of missile and drone attacks across the Middle East, targeting American and Israeli interests throughout the Gulf. Trump warned Iran that further attacks would invite consequences of "unprecedented" levels. The US confirmed three American service members killed in the wider campaign. Israel launched fresh waves of strikes on Iran, while explosions were reported for a second consecutive day near Dubai and over Doha as regional instability deepens dangerously. (PC: India Today)
