Trump said<\/a> the \u201cheavy and pinpoint bombing\u201d was to continue through the week or as long as necessary. <\/p>\nThe strikes opened a stunning new chapter in U.S. intervention in Iran, marking the second time in eight months that the Trump administration has attacked the country during talks over its nuclear program. The killing of Khamenei after decades in power appeared certain to create a significant leadership vacuum given the absence of a known successor and because the supreme leader had final say on all major policies. <\/p>\n
On Sunday, Iran\u2019s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard threatened to launch its \u201cmost-intense offensive operation\u201d ever targeting Israel and U.S. bases.<\/p>\n
Here is the latest:<\/p>\n
Iran\u2019s parliament speaker on Sunday called the leaders of the United States and Israel \u201cfilthy criminals\u201d who will face \u201cdevastating blows\u201d for their ongoing attacks on the Islamic Republic.<\/p>\n
Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf made the comment in a televised address.<\/p>\n
Qalibaf is the highest-ranking official to appear on camera since the attacks began Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have crossed our red line and must pay the price,\u201d he said. \u201cWe will deliver such devastating blows that you yourselves will be driven to beg.\u201d<\/p>\n
President Javier Milei praised the joint operation carried out by the United States and Israel that resulted in the death of Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, whom he described as \u201cone of the most evil, violent, and cruel individuals in modern history.\u201d<\/p>\n
In his statement, Milei also recalled the 1994 attack on the Argentine Jewish community center, known as AMIA, in Buenos Aires. The bombing killed 85 people and injured hundreds, marking one of the deadliest attacks in the country\u2019s history.<\/p>\n
The president reaffirmed that pursuing justice for the victims of the AMIA bombing remains a state policy. \u201cWe will continue until the last person responsible pays with his freedom or his life for this horrific crime,\u201d Milei said.<\/p>\n
A Chinese organization is registering Chinese citizens in Iran for evacuation to neighboring countries, according to a media report.<\/p>\n
More than 200 Chinese are scattered across Iran, Tan Kai, the president of the Iran Federation of Chinese Organizations, told the Global Times newspaper. The group is making evacuation preparations at the instruction of the Chinese Embassy, Tan said.<\/p>\n
An embassy statement said the land borders with Azerbaijan, Armenia and Turkey were open for individuals wishing to depart on their own.<\/p>\n
In Israel, the Chinese embassy advised citizens to move to safe areas away from the centers of Tel Aviv, Haifa and Jerusalem and airports, power stations and similar sites. It said it would begin registering citizens on Sunday who wish to evacuate to Egypt and cannot do so on their own. <\/p>\n
The head of Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guard and a top security adviser to the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei were killed in American-Israel airstrikes on the country, state media reported Sunday.<\/p>\n
The state-run IRNA news agency announced the death of Maj. Gen. Mohammad Pakpour, who took over as the Guard\u2019s top commander after Israel killed its past commander in the 12-day June war.<\/p>\n
Also killed was Ali Shamkhani, long a figurehead within Iran\u2019s security establishment, IRNA said. Shamkhani was wounded in the June war.<\/p>\n
A council has formed to govern Iran after the killing of Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.<\/p>\n
That council is enshrined in law in the Islamic Republic. It is made up of Iran\u2019s sitting president, the head of the country\u2019s judiciary and a member of the Guardian Council chosen by Iran\u2019s Expediency Council, which advises the supreme leader and settles disputes with parliament.<\/p>\n
Iran\u2019s reformist President Masoud Pezeshkian and hard-line judiciary chief Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei are on it.<\/p>\n
Iranian law says the Assembly of Experts \u201cmust, as soon as possible,\u201d pick a new supreme leader.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
