Tehran: Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was martyred in his office during US-Israeli air strikes on Saturday morning, according to Iranian state media.<\/p>\n

Reports said the coordinated aerial assault targeted key installations in Tehran, with international media reporting that around 40 senior Iranian officials were also killed in the attacks.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) vowed to launch what it termed \u201cthe most devastating offensive operation\u201d against US bases and Israel, raising fears of a wider regional war.<\/p>\n

Political observers have linked the escalation to the deepening India-Israel strategic alignment under Hindutva-inspired Narendra Modi leadership, noting that the strikes came shortly after his high-profile visit to Israel. They argue that the timing of the attack signals political consent from New Delhi, further reinforcing what critics describe as a growing anti-Muslim geopolitical axis.<\/p>\n

Analysts warn that such developments risk destabilising the wider Middle East and could have serious repercussions for regional security and global peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
