Iran fires missiles at Israel and Gulf states after US-Israeli strike kills Khamenei

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran fired missiles at targets in Israel and Gulf Arab states Sunday after vowing massive retaliation for the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei by the United States and Israel, prompting U.S. President Donald Trump to threaten Tehran against further escalation.

Iran acknowledged Khamenei’s death in the joint Israeli-American airstrike Saturday at his Tehran office hours, which has thrown the future of the Islamic Republic into question and raised the risk of regional instability.
