The US and Israel launched strikes on Iran on Saturday, killing
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Since then, at least 1,097
civilians have been killed in Iran, says a human rights
organisation based in the US.

The US and Israel are continuing to carry out air strikes in
Iran, and Iran has responded by firing missiles at Israel and
other countries in the region with links to the US. Iran has hit
military targets, but it has also hit airports and other civilian
sites like luxury hotels and shopping malls.

The lack of detail in US President Donald Trump’s plan has been
criticised by politicians in the US congress.
