Iranian state television on Sunday announced a 40-day national mourning period and declared seven public holidays following the killing of the country's 86-year-old Supreme Leader, who had been in power since 1989.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) vowed retaliation, issuing a strongly-worded statement.
“The hand of revenge of the Iranian nation for a severe, decisive and regrettable punishment for the murderers of the Imam of the Ummah will not let go of them,” the IRGC said.
The reported deaths mark a dramatic escalation in tensions in the region, with Tehran signalling a forceful response in the aftermath of the strikes.
