Iran's supreme leader dead and its military reeling following attack by US and Israel | 7.30

Описание: Iran's supreme leader is dead and its military reeling following a wave of airstrikes by the United States and Israel.

But overturning almost five decades of authoritarian control with air strikes alone will be very difficult

In this special edition of 7.30 we bring you the latest on the unfolding situation in the Middle East, plus Sarah Ferguson interviews Prime Minister Anthony Albanese as well as Israel's new ambassador to Australia, Hillel Newman.
