US/Israel conduct airstrikes on Iran again

Seventh US soldier killed in Iran war

A seventh US soldier has been killed during the Iran war, US Central Command has announced.

The service member died from injuries received during Iran's initial attacks across the Middle East.

"The service member was seriously wounded at the scene of an attack on US troops in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia," it says in a statement.

Ok I'll be more specific. Israel and US are hitting civilian infrastructure all over Iran and Israel in Lebanon as they always have. And Iran warned if they were attacked they would lash out at all Gulf states that harbor American bases , said gulf states have been shooting down missiles which sadly shrapnel has been hitting civilians and to be fair from what I've seen they are targeting American officals and army personnel in hotels which unfortunately could hit others , that is collateral damage sadly. But Israel and the US are pounding Tehran and absolutely targeting civilians day and night to push in regime change in an illegally started war. I'm not on any side I just state what I see and read .

The oily smelly thick black smoke currently choking Tehran suburbs will surely lead to death for the old, the ill and the very young among the utterly defenseless population.

The tiny minded men with their powerful weapons must surely face justice when this madness is over.
delivering democracy - ???

Delivering death and destruction - on a daily basis.

So hold on there now. You have evidence that Israel and America deliberately targeted the school knowing scores of children would be killed?

I am completely against this war-attack by Israel and America. But I’m also not just going to blindly believe everything said against them..

A unique black Tomahawk missile and precision-strike missile were also launched, footage shared by the US Navy and US Central Command appeared to show.

Iranian-style suicide drone

The Lucas (FLM-136) kamikaze drone was modelled on the Iranian Shahed 136, infamous for its use by Russian forces in Ukraine.

There are few public details of the weapon, but it is said to have the ability to find targets beyond the line of sight, including ones that suddenly pop up in front of it.

Reportedly its reverse engineered from the Iranian Shahed drone, but painted black so radar can't see it and to suppress infrared targeting.

Can understand your reluctance to believe that Israel would target a school. They were all untouched in two years of the Gaza onslaught. Every school remains in place and no children killed at all. America would never have provided weapons for such attacks in gaza so all is honky dorey with that track record

Edit: 56 year old Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the dead Supreme Leader Khamenei, 'elected' as Supreme Leader by the Assembly of Experts. Seen as close to the Revolutionary Guard.

US Energy Secretary Chris Wright said Sunday that the "period of elevated energy prices" will be temporary, "but it will not be long," as the Iran war continued into a second week.

Oil and gas prices "shouldn't go much higher than they are here because the world is very well supplied with oil," Wright said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan." He insisted there is "no energy shortage at all," saying the U.S. is a large exporter of natural gas and although refineries in Europe and Asia are seeing "interruptions in their crude flows," there are "massive energy stores around the world."

"What you want is emotional reactions and fear that this is a long-term war," Wright said. "This is not a long-term war; it's a temporary movement."

Wright said the U.S. still has 400 million gallons of oil in the strategic oil reserve, and "we're more than happy to use that if it's needed." But he added that it's a "logistics issue" because refineries in Europe and Asia need oil.

"We're just doing pragmatic things to get through a short period that will that will bring in an era of even lower energy prices because a major energy-producing region of the world, the Middle East, will no longer have a strong, powerful Iran that can threaten their neighbors, that can threaten the United States of America and that was not far away from a nuclear bomb."

Reports of 9th US soldier killed in the war.

Iran's Assembly of Experts has chosen a new supreme leader, a source inside the country tells CBS News.

The powerful clerical body tasked with selecting Iran's supreme leader has not announced it yet, but multiple of its members have said they have already concluded their discussions. The official announcement is expected to be made soon.

Some of the Assembly of Experts members have mentioned Mojtaba Khamenei, the second son of the former supreme leader, killed in the U.S.-Israeli initial strikes, as the leading contender.

In recent days Trump has been saying he could accept someone from the current regime. This is different from what the Israeli Ambassador to the US Leitner is saying, which talks of a "transitional government" including the minorities.

Reports the Dubai Marina tower has been hit after missile attacks.

Wow, so no regime change ? Who'd have thunk it!

Choosing Mojtaba Khamenei as leader is ‘act of defiance’ from Iran

The choice of Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran’s new supreme leader is a signal of both continuity and rebellion among Iran’s clerical leaders.

“This is kind of an act of defiance … telling the Americans and Israelis, ‘You wanted to get rid of our system? Well in your face, this is a more radical person than his father who was assassinated,'” said Rami Khouri, a political analyst at the American University of Beirut.

“This is a sign of continuity, and we’ll see what that brings,” he added.
