The assassination of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, following a joint military operation by the United States and Israel, has dramatically escalated tensions in the Middle East, with potential global implications.

The airstrikes, which also targeted Iranian military infrastructure, have left a significant power vacuum in Tehran, exacerbating regional instability as Iran's Revolutionary Guard vows a fierce response targeting US and Israeli positions.
