00:00We begin tonight with breaking developments in the Middle East, where the United States
00:04and Israel have launched a new wave of military strikes across Iran, marking the second day
00:10of what is now an open and rapidly escalating regional conflict.
00:14In a dramatic and unprecedented turn, Iran's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, was killed Saturday
00:20in an Israeli airstrike, a strike that U.S. President Donald Trump says was coordinated
00:25closely with Washington.
00:26The region now stands on the brink of wider war.
00:30Day two of strikes.
00:32Explosions rocked Teheran again Sunday morning.
00:35A massive blast sent thick smoke rising near key government buildings, including police
00:40headquarters, the Revolutionary Court, and facilities linked to Iran's defense ministry.
00:44The Israel Defense Forces says its air force is striking targets in the heart of Teheran,
00:50focusing on dismantling Iran's remaining air defenses.
00:53Iran's ambassador to the United Nations told an emergency security council meeting that
00:58hundreds of civilians have been killed or injured, accusing the U.S. and Israel of deliberately
01:03targeting residential neighborhoods in multiple cities.
01:06Meanwhile, Iranian authorities report that more than 100 children were killed in a strike
01:10on a school in the southern city of Minab.
01:13Those claims have not been independently verified.
01:16Trump's warning President Trump delivered stark remarks Sunday, threatening Iran with what he
01:21called force never seen before if Teheran retaliates following Khamenei's death.
01:26In a social media post, Trump declared the objective of the campaign is regime change and urged the
01:32Iranian people to take back their country.
01:34This marks the second time in eight months that the Trump administration has used direct military force against Iran.
01:40But this operation is far more sweeping and potentially transformative.
01:44Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has echoed similar calls for political change in Iran, suggesting the
01:50moment could trigger an internal uprising.
01:52Iran responds, Iran has already retaliated.
01:56Air raid sirens sounded repeatedly across Israel early Sunday.
02:00Explosions were heard in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv as Israel's missile defense systems
02:04intercepted incoming Iranian rockets.
02:06But the conflict is no longer confined to Israel and Iran.
02:10Iranian strikes have also targeted U.S. military bases and civilian infrastructure across Gulf states.
02:16Loud blasts were reported in Dubai and Doha.
02:18Damage was confirmed at Burj Al Arab Hotel and at major airports in the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait.
02:25Dubai International Airport, the world's busiest international travel hub,
02:29has shut down operations along with several other major airports in the region,
02:33triggering one of the most severe aviation disruptions in years.
02:37Strait of Hormuz threat
02:39In a potentially game-changing development, ships in the region reported hearing a broadcast
02:43attributed to the Iranian navy announcing a ban on transit through the Strait of Hormuz.
02:48This narrow waterway is one of the most critical choke points for global oil supply.
02:53Any sustained disruption could send energy prices soaring worldwide and trigger major economic fallout.
02:59Authorities in Oman reported damage to at least one oil tanker, though responsibility has not been confirmed.
03:05Energy analysts warn that a prolonged conflict could destabilize global markets within days.
03:10Inside Iran
03:11Inside Iran, the mood is complex and deeply divided.
03:15Some Iranians say they feel fear and exhaustion after months of economic hardship and unrest.
03:20Others, particularly opponents of the regime, express cautious hope that the death of Khamenei could open the door to political
03:26change.
03:27But the reality is uncertain.
03:29Iran's political structure remains intact for now.
03:31Parliament Speaker Mohamed Bakir Galibaf said the country would continue Khamenei's path.
03:36A temporary leadership council is expected to be appointed.
03:40Crucially, powerful institutions like the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps remain loyal to the regime and retain significant military capability.
03:48Analysts caution that expectations of an immediate nationwide uprising may be overly optimistic.
03:52Regional and global reaction
03:55The conflict has sparked unrest beyond Iran.
03:58In Pakistan, protests erupted outside the U.S. Consulate in Karachi.
04:02Police clashed with demonstrators after they breached the compound's outer wall.
04:06At least nine people were reported killed.
04:08In Baghdad, protesters gathered outside the heavily fortified Green Zone, home to the U.S. Embassy.
04:13British Defense Secretary John Healy warned of what he described as a really serious and deteriorating situation,
04:19citing rising risks of broader retaliation.
04:22The United Nations Security Council convened an emergency session, but no immediate resolution emerged.
04:28What comes next?
04:30This joint U.S.-Israel offensive represents one of the most consequential escalations in Middle East geopolitics in decades.
04:37Key questions remain.
04:38Will Iran escalate further, possibly targeting U.S. interests globally?
04:42Will Israel sustain missile defense under prolonged bombardment?
04:46Will Gulf states be drawn deeper into direct conflict?
04:49And, perhaps most importantly, will internal unrest in Iran lead to regime collapse or rally support around hardline leadership?
04:56With 93 million people and a deeply entrenched political and military structure, Iran's future remains highly uncertain.
05:03What is clear tonight is this.
05:05The Middle East has entered a volatile new chapter, one that could reshape regional alliances, global energy markets, and international
05:12security for years to come.
05:14We will continue to monitor developments as they unfold.
