The U.S. and Israel have launched an unprovoked attack on Iran striking sites across the country, including the compound of Iran’s Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iranian state media reports one Israeli strike hit an elementary girls’ school in Minab, killing at least 85 people including scores of children. Iran responded by launching attacks across the Middle East targeting Israel and U.S. military installations in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says there are “growing signs” that Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in the attack.
