An enormous explosion rocked Iran’s capital on Sunday as the Israeli military said it was targeting the heart of the city.
According to an AP report, the blast in Tehran sent a huge plume of smoke into the sky and shook the ground. It wasn’t immediately clear what the target was. The blast appeared centred in a neighbourhood that is home to the country’s police headquarters and Iranian state television. The Israeli military said it was striking targets in central Tehran.
Khamenei’s death in a joint Israeli-American airstrike Saturday on his Tehran office has thrown the future of the Islamic Republic into question and raised the risk of regional instability.
