The slain Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's son is emerging as the leading choice to succeed him as Iran's Supreme Leader. Operation Epic Fury has escalated with US and Israeli forces claiming to have struck 1700 targets across Iran, including military infrastructure, naval assets, and air defence systems. The US consulates in Dubai and Jordan were targeted by Iranian attack drones, prompting widespread evacuation orders for Americans in the region, while European nations deploy military assets to the area and Iran reports 787 casualties including 168 teachers and students killed in a girls' school strike.
