Breaking News... Iranian Revolutionary Guard issues ultimatum following Khamenei's death: The heaviest offensive operation in history will begin

The most critical development following the US and Israeli attacks on Iran has come from Tehran. Iranian state television has officially announced that the country's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, lost his life during the attacks. Following the announcement, a 40-day period of national mourning was declared in the country.

STERN MESSAGE FROM THE REVOLUTIONARY GUARD

As tensions rise rapidly in Iran, a written statement was released by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The statement declared, "The heaviest offensive operation in the history of the Iranian Armed Forces will begin in minutes, targeting occupied territories and US military bases."

TOLL OF THE ATTACKS GROWS

The Iranian Red Crescent has shared the first official data regarding the attacks that took place in 24 cities. According to the report, 201 people have lost their lives, and 747 people have been injured. It was reported that the heaviest loss of life occurred at a primary school.

A large number of students lost their lives in an attack on the "Shajarat al-Tayyibah Girls' Primary School" in the city of Minab, located in the Hormozgan province of southern Iran. Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmail Baghaei announced that 150 schoolgirls lost their lives in the attack.

TEHRAN CLOSES THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ

The Iranian administration has announced that the Strait of Hormuz, which is of strategic importance for global oil transportation, has been closed. The Revolutionary Guard reported that access to oil routes has been completely blocked and that no ships will be permitted to pass. This move has caused serious concern in global energy markets.

HOW DID THE PROCESS BEGIN?

While diplomatic contacts between Iran and the US were ongoing, Israel and the US launched a joint military operation against Iran in the morning hours. While the Israeli Ministry of Defense described the attack as a "preemptive move," Trump announced that a "major operation" was being conducted against Iran.

Many cities, primarily Tehran, as well as Isfahan, Tabriz, Qom, Bushehr, and Kermanshah, were targeted. While Israel and Iran closed their airspace, a state of emergency was declared across Israel, and the public was directed to shelters. Speculation that the crisis could quickly turn into a regional war has gained momentum.
