STORYLINE:
Protesters rallied in front of the Iranian Embassy in central Bucharest on Thursday in a show of support for the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran which killed the country's Supreme Leader.
The demonstration was held by members of the Iranian community in Romania and saw protesters wave posters of Iran's exiled crown prince Reza Pahlavi and U.S. and Israeli flags as they called for regime change in the country.
Iran launched more missiles at Israel and U.S. bases on Thursday as the war in the Middle East entered its sixth day.
Israel announced multiple incoming attacks early Thursday and said it was intercepting the missiles.
Meanwhile, the Israeli military said it began new strikes against the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon.
At least eight people were killed there late Wednesday into Thursday according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry and the state news agency.
Tehran has warned of the destruction of the Middle East’s military and economic infrastructure, and the war has rattled financial markets, with most taking their cues from what the price of oil is doing.
Early Thursday, oil prices resumed their ascent.
The war has killed at least 1,230 people in Iran, more than 70 in Lebanon and around a dozen in Israel, according to officials in those countries.
Six U.S. troops have been killed.
