Iran has declared 40 days of national mourning after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in coordinated strikes by U.S. and Israeli forces on Saturday. President Trump has cautioned Iran against any retaliatory actions following the death of the country's top religious leader.

Iran has declared a 40-day period of national mourning following the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed during coordinated military strikes conducted by the United States and Israel this past Saturday.

The Iranian leadership confirmed the death of their highest-ranking official after the joint military operation targeted Iran. President Trump has since issued a stern warning to Tehran, advising against any retaliatory measures in response to Khamenei’s death.

The strikes mark a significant escalation in tensions between Iran and the Western allies, with the death of the Supreme Leader representing a major blow to Iran’s theocratic government structure.
