Putin calls Khamenei's death ‘cynical’ murder, UK defence chief stops short of backing strikes - Telegraph India
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday condemned the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, calling it a “cynical” murder that violated international law and basic human morality. Speaking to the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg, Healey said the UK had no role in the strikes but shared the aim of ensuring Iran does not acquire a nuclear weapon. “We have strengthened the UK defences in the region, we are active in regional defence operations,” he told Sky News. He said UK aircraft were operating from bases in Qatar and Cyprus and were intercepting drone attacks on bases and allied forces. Israel’s military said on Sunday it had launched a wave of strikes in central Tehran after a large-scale air operation that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader.

They want peace,” Mamdani wrote on X.ADVERTISEMENTFormer US vice president Kamala Harris, who contested against President Donald Trump in 2024, said that US troops were being put on harm’s way. “Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating “that often happens in war.”This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. And we are about to learn it again in Iran.”Cortez said that the Congress authorises war and the President does not. “Thank you President Trump for giving us the Iranian people a chance to get our country back.”

Donald Trump talks regime change in Iran after strikes, but history shows that could be very hard
Barely an hour after the first US and Israeli missiles struck Iran, President Donald Trump made clear he hoped for regime change. Washington has a long, complicated past when it comes to regime change. But as with the shah, who was overthrown in Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution after decades of increasingly unpopular rule, regime change rarely goes as planned. "We must abandon the failed policy of nation-building and regime change," he said in 2016. "There are those who could claim that what we did in Venezuela is not regime change," said Schanzer, at the Foundation for Defence of Democracies.
