Iran mourns Khamenei as Israel launches new wave of air strikes | ABS-CBN News

Описание: Iranian newspaper headlines on Monday (March 2) declared the "martyrdom" of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as shops across Tehran remained closed.

Khamenei was killed on Saturday (February 28), aged 86, Iranian state media announced, in air strikes by Israel and the U.S. that pulverised his central Tehran compound, after decades of efforts to resolve the dispute over Iran's nuclear program diplomatically failed.

Newspapers and banners around Tehran commemorated Khamenei, with one English-language front page reading "For Iran's independence and glory".

Following the death of Khamenei, Iran faces a power vacuum that could leave it in chaos, but the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has not outlined longer-term aims for the country. — Reuters
