Watch CNN's live coverage as the US and Israel strike Iran
• Supreme leader killed: US President Donald Trump crossed “a very dangerous red line” after Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei was killed in US-Israeli strikes, an Iranian official told CNN. Trump has indicated the strikes would continue through the week. Iran says one attack killed over 100 girls at an elementary school near a military base.
• Retaliatory strikes: Israel says it has carried out a new wave of strikes “in the heart of Tehran,” as Iran unleashes fresh attacks after Khamenei’s killing. Iran has already attacked US military bases, Israel and targets across the region. The conflict has damaged air hubs, rocked densely populated areas and disrupted oil shipments.
• Celebration and condemnation: The contrast of celebrations and mourning highlights deep divides in Iran. Across the US, people took to the streets, with some celebrating and others protesting the strikes on Iran.

Three people in the United Arab Emirates have been killed in Iran’s retalitory strikes, the country’s Ministry of Defense said in a statement on Sunday.
Those killed were nationals of Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh who died as a result of Iranian drones that made it through the UAE air defenses, causing damage on the ground, the Defense Ministry said. At least 58 other people have experienced minor injuries.
In total, Iran launched 165 ballistic missiles on the UAE, of which 152 were destroyed by the country’s air defenses and 13 fell into the sea, the ministry said. A further two cruise missiles were detected and destroyed.
The ministry also said Iran launched a total of 541 drones, of which 506 were intercepted, while 35 fell within the country’s territory.
“Some debris fell in scattered areas of the country as a result of air defense systems intercepting ballistic missiles and drones, leading to minor and moderate material damage in a number of civilian properties,” the ministry’s statement added.
Six killed in direct missile hit on residential building near Jerusalem, Israel police say
Israeli police say the death toll has risen to six after an Iranian missile slammed into a residential building near Jerusalem. More than 20 people are being treated in hospital.
Debris from an intercepted Iranian drone damaged a complex in Abu Dhabi that houses the Israeli embassy and other diplomatic missions.
A woman and her child were injured in the incident, which damaged the facade of one of the Etihad Towers buildings, the Abu Dhabi Media Office said.
Three people were killed and 58 injured after Iran launched 165 ballistic missiles, 541 drones and 2 cruise missiles on the UAE since Saturday, the UAE’s defense ministry said in a statement.
The majority of projectiles were intercepted, according to the defense ministry, but 35 drones made impact.
Five people were killed in a direct missile hit on a residential building near Jerusalem, Israel police said in a statement on Sunday afternoon.
Approximately 18 people were injured in the strike on the city of Beit Shemesh, police said.
“As a result of the direct hit, severe damage and collapse of the building occurred,” police said.
Nearly 20 people were injured, including two critically, as an Iranian missile hit a residential building near Jerusalem, according to Israel’s emergency response service.
Two more were seriously injured, including a 10-year-old girl, Magen David Adom (MDA) said, and one person was moderately wounded.
Video from the scene from MDA showed firefighters trying to douse flames and smoke rising from what appears to be a major impact site.
This appears to be one of the few direct impacts on Israel despite waves of Iranian retaliatory attacks. We’ll bring you more as we get it.
A senior Iranian official has said Iran has no intention of attacking other countries in the region – only the️ US bases on their territory.
The head of Iran’s National Security Council, Ali Larijani, said such US military facilities “are not the territory of the countries of the region, they are the territory of the United States. We do not intend to attack the countries of the region.”
“We had told the United States through the Swiss embassy that if you attack this time, we will hit your bases,” he said in remarks carried by state media.
Many of the Iranian attacks since Saturday have struck civilian infrastructure in the Gulf, including airports in Dubai and Kuwait, hotels and other buildings. Dozens of missiles and drones have targeted the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
“We had many casualties in the previous war, but yesterday the number of our martyrs was very small,” Larijani claimed.
“The armed forces, with experience from the previous war, are in control.”
Dubai was almost unrecognizable on Sunday.
On a winter weekend – peak tourist season – the city’s beaches, malls and hotel brunches would normally be full. Instead, highways were largely empty and the sky was clear of the constant stream of arriving and departing aircraft. Dubai Marine, normally filled with yachts and boat parties, sat unsually still.
For many residents, it felt like a return to the Covid-19 lockdowns six years ago, when one of the world’s busiest transit hubs abruptly fell silent. Schools in the city have once again shifted online, and families are staying indoors.
“We feel like it’s Covid days. Quiet, sunny, birds chirping and no sounds of traffic or planes flying,” said Paul Devitt, a CNN videographer in Abu Dhabi.
Some residents made quick trips to supermarkets to stock up. Grocery delivery apps reported delays as demand surged. In neighborhoods that are usually crowded well into the evening, streets were empty.
With the UAE’s airspace closed, some people drove to quieter parts of the country. In Hatta, near the Omani border, at least one hotel turned a conference room into a makeshift shelter for tourists who had checked out but were unable to fly home. Some newly arrived guests said they were moving their families away from parts of Dubai that had come under attack.
Others crossed into Oman by road, at least initially the only country in the region untouched by Saturday’s Iranian strikes. On Sunday, however, Omani authorities said two drones had targeted a port there.
Dubai, a city that prides itself on safety and stability, has no public bomb shelters. Many residents instead spent Saturday night in underground parking garages. Parents shielded anxious children from the reality of the explosions overhead.
Several told their young sons and daughters that the blasts were Ramadan fireworks or cannons, traditionally fired at iftar time in Muslim countries.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it has launched another wave of missiles and drones on countries in the region.
