The Israeli military says that it has begun striking targets deep inside Tehran, a day after a joint US-Israeli attack assassinated Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, AFP reports.

“The IDF is striking targets that belong to the Iranian terror regime in the heart of Tehran,” the military said.

“Over the past day, the Israeli Air Force conducted large-scale strikes in order to establish aerial superiority and to pave the path to Tehran.”
