How US-Israel strikes on Iran unfolded in 90 seconds


The US and Israel launched attacks across Iran on Saturday, with US President Donald Trump later saying Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Khamenei’s compound in Tehran had been destroyed in a “powerful, surprise strike”.

Iranian state media later confirmed Khamenei’s death.

Iran responded to the US-Israel attack by launching missiles and drones towards Israel and four Gulf Arab countries which host US military bases: Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the UAE.
