Iran's late supreme leader gets three-day public funeral
Iran is preparing a three-day public funeral for its late supreme leader, drawing large crowds of mourners. The event comes amid heightened regional tensions and ongoing military conflict. Meanwhile, the US House is set to vote on a resolution to direct an end to the war in Iran, reflecting growing domestic pressure.
The US and Iran both launched strikes overnight, with US forces bombing Iranian military sites and Iran firing missiles at American troops stationed in Kuwait. The exchanges follow reports of faltering peace talks. The escalation underscores how close the two nations are to open confrontation.
Russia launched a massive wave of attacks across Ukraine, leaving at least 22 dead and dozens wounded. The strikes targeted Kyiv and other cities in what appears to be retaliation for Ukrainian drone operations on Russian soil. A tennis star's comments denouncing Russian rivals also stirred controversy amid the war.
