The U.S. and Israel have launched major attacks on Iran whose state media say Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead.

U.S. allies and adversaries responded to the joint attacks by the U.S. and Israel on Iran with concern over the risks of a new war in the Middle East.

The Associated Press is using the word “war” to refer to the joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran and Iran’s retaliation.

Iran's surviving leaders “want to talk, and I have agreed to talk," President Donald Trump told The Atlantic in a Sunday interview.

President Donald Trump said the objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime. He said Iran has continued to develop nuclear weapons.

Three American troops were killed in action, the Pentagon said, and at least nine people were killed in a small Israeli city. President Trump said he was “willing to talk” to new Iranian leadership.

“Even as Iran’s underground church is widely regarded as one of the fastest -growing Christian movements in the world, hundreds of thousands have been forced to live in secret, fearing persecution while praying for the day they can openly and freely live out their faith,” Toumadje said.

The United States and Israel launch Operation Epic Fury, a large-scale military strike targeting key Iranian missile and naval sites using advanced fighter jets, drones, and naval assets.

In Iraq, four U.S. strikes hit an area near Baghdad linked to Kata’ib Hezbollah, a powerful militia affiliated with Iran. A leader of the group told The Times it would attack U.S. bases in response. Jordan said its military intercepted two missiles in its airspace. Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar, which house American bases, also reported attacks.
