US-Israel War on Iran Kills Over 1,000, Widens Regionally
The US-Israeli military campaign against Iran has killed more than 1,000 people, with strikes continuing on Iranian cities while Iranian rockets are being intercepted over central Israel. The conflict has spilled into the Indian Ocean, where a US submarine sank an Iranian warship, and has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz via Iranian drone attacks, sending energy markets into crisis. The funeral of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei — killed in the initial strikes — has been postponed amid ongoing explosions.
