The Israeli military said on Sunday that it had begun striking targets deep inside Tehran , a day after a joint US-Israeli attack killed Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei .
“The IDF is striking targets that belong to the Iranian terror regime in the heart of Tehran,” the military said. “Over the past day, the Israeli Air Force conducted large-scale strikes in order to establish aerial superiority and to pave the path to Tehran.”
Protests broke out across Iran and several other countries, including Iraq and Pakistan, when Khamenei’s death was confirmed by Iranian authorities, calling for vengeance and chanting “Death to America” and “Death to Israel”, a video carried byTasnimnews agency showed.
Drones targeted an Omani port, injuring one worker, official media said Sunday, marking the first attack on the sultanate – which has mediated US-Iran talks – since Tehran began its retaliation campaign in the Gulf, reportedly targeting US interests.
Fresh blasts were also heard across Dubai, Doha and Manama on Sunday morning. Several casualties were reported in the Gulf on Saturday, which also saw attacks on Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Famous landmarks in Dubai and the city’s international airport were hit with drones.
