Iranian state media has confirmed the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei after a massive US-Israeli attack on the country that US President Donald Trump said would continue with heavy bombing throughout the week.
Trump indicated the military operation is aimed at overturning Tehran’s government. One strike killed over 100 girls at an elementary school in Iran, according to state media.
Iran is striking back with a fresh wave of attacks across the region after the supreme leader’s death. It has already unleashed strikes on US military bases, Israel and targets across the Middle East, rocking densely populated areas and disrupting air travel and oil shipments. 
Celebrations and condemnations: In Tehran, there were street celebrations following reports of Khamenei’s death. Across the US, people took to the streets, with some celebrating and others protesting the strikes on Iran.
