Iran strikes day 2: Trump threatens more hits, Khamenei dead and Israel mounts new attacks
Beijing says the killing of Iran’s supreme leader is ‘a grave violation of Iran’s sovereignty and security’
As the US and Israeli attacks on Iran entered a second day, Tehran declared a seven-day public holiday and 40 days of public mourning for Khamenei’s death.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps also targeted Israel and the US bases in the Middle East with what it called “the most devastating offensive operation in the history of the Islamic Republic”.
Trump threatened more and harder military strikes and the Israeli military began a new round of attacks against key sites in the heart of Tehran.
Dubbed “Operation Epic Fury”, the US and Israeli air strikes against Iran began on Saturday as a “noble mission” to eliminate imminent nuclear threats, according to Trump.
