Israel Expands Iran Strikes as Tehran Moves to Name New Supreme Leader

Israel has expanded its strikes on Iran, targeting Iranian commanders in Beirut as the death toll nears 400. The strikes come as Tehran moves to name a new supreme leader, following the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

According to Sky News, Israel has targeted Iranian commanders in Beirut, with reports of four killed in the hotel strike. The strikes are part of a broader campaign by Israel to weaken Iran's military capabilities.

The move by Tehran to name a new supreme leader has raised concerns about the stability of the region. The new leader is expected to be chosen from a group of senior clerics, but the process is expected to be contentious.

The strikes by Israel have been met with condemnation from Iran, with the country's foreign minister calling them 'acts of terrorism.'

The situation in the region remains volatile, with the US and Israel continuing to pressure Iran to abandon its nuclear program.
