While the decision on Iran's new supreme leader was being made, the warring parties carried out particularly intense waves of attacks over the weekend. A large oil depot was hit in Tehran, while Iran is said to have used cluster munitions again in Tel Aviv. In Lebanon, drone parts crashed into an Austrian camp.

The most important events of the day:

  • Iran has a new leader: Khamenei's son Mojtaba is his successor. US President Donald Trump had already issued an initial threat.
  • The US military reports another soldier killed.
  • Kurds in northeastern Syria are warning Kurdish groups in Iran against forming a military alliance with the US. 
  • According to US President Donald Trump, the US has destroyed Iran's navy. Forty-four of its ships have been sunk – "their entire navy."
  • An Israeli-American attack in Isfahan, Iran, has damaged a nuclear facility.
  • Iraqi oil production has collapsed. The country can no longer export oil via the Strait of Hormuz due to the war with Iran.

The ticker to read:

Trump: Iran has "absolutely no defense left"
After Israeli attacks on Saturday, oil depots in Tehran are on fire. However, the US government emphasizes that it wants to spare the energy infrastructure. At the same time, Donald Trump announces his own military successes. According to him, Iran no longer has a navy or air defense.

A week ago, the US and Israel launched massive air strikes on Iran, killing the spiritual leader of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and other members of the Iranian leadership. In response, Iran has since attacked Israel, several Gulf states, and US military facilities in the Gulf region.
