What happened
Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei vowed revenge for the U.S.-Israeli killing of his father, Ali Khamenei, after new threats from U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump warned that any attempt to assassinate him would lead the United States to "completely decimate" Iran and also claimed extensive missile readiness.
