A senior White House official said Sunday that Iran's “new potential leadership” has suggested it is open to talks with the United States after American and Israeli forces launched a major attack against Tehran, killing the country's supreme leader and other high-ranking officials.

Three American service members have been killed and five others seriously wounded during the US attacks on Iran, the military said Sunday, marking the first American casualties in a major offensive that has sparked retaliation from the Islamic Republic.

 Iranian state television has said it was targeted by military strikes after a series of powerful explosions were reported in the capital Tehran.

US President Donald Trump says 9 ships in the Iranian navy have been sunk.

The CIA had been tracking the movements of senior Iranian leaders, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, for months.

Iran’s ILNA News Agency has reported that former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was killed during the ongoing US and Israeli attacks.

 Iran's foreign minister says a new supreme leader will be chosen in “one or two days.”

At least nine people were killed and about 20 others injured after an Iranian ballistic missile struck Beit Shemesh in central Israel, according to the Magen David Adom ambulance service.
