Qalibaf said Iranian authorities had prepared scenarios “including” contingencies for the period after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and pledged that Iran would “continue Khamenei’s path."

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly pushed for strikes against Iran, while Saudi Arabia’s role appeared more complex. 

Khamenei's daughter, grandchild, daughter-in-law, and son-in-law were also killed in US-Israeli strikes, Iranian state media reported on Sunday.

On Saturday night, the IDF had said that over 200 aircraft had struck 500 Iranian targets.

Magen David Adom responded to injuries which occured as people were on their way to protected areas, but not related to any missile strikes.

He emphasized that the conflict is not a preemptive strike, but rather one driven by foreign powers, with no direct connection to the interests or security of the Iranian or Israeli people.

One likely candidate to run the Islamic regime after the Ayatollah's death is Ahmad Vahidi, who was the IRGC deputy chief on the eve of the war.

Although it turns out Khamenei was killed likely in the war's opening moments by around 30 bombs around 8:00 a.m. Saturday morning, the more intense response only came later.

Over 200 missiles were launched toward Israel as the joint Israel-US campaign continued to strike targets across the Islamic regime.

In the Tabriz area, the IDF struck a major site from which the Islamic Republic has fired dozens of ballistic missiles at Israel.

As part of the preparations for the attack, which, as noted, had been scheduled long beforehand, US President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu held several conversations in recent weeks.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir confirmed that Israel and the US intend to “destroy capabilities” of the Iranian regime.

In his remarks, Netanyahu accused Iran’s leadership of sponsoring terrorism and threatening Israel and the United States.

As part of the new guidelines, HFC ordered the closure of all educational activities, social gatherings, and travel to workplaces, with the exception of essential workers and household needs.
