  • Story Text:Dozens of Iranians gathered on Sunday (March 1) outside Iran embassy in Lisbon to celebrate the fall of Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and called for a regime change in the country. 
    Israel launched a new wave of strikes on Tehran on Sunday, saying it aimed to dominate the skies after killing Iran's supreme leader and leaving the Islamic Republic grappling to rebuild its leadership amid its biggest test in five decades.
    U.S. and Israeli strikes -- and Iranian retaliation -- sent shockwaves through sectors from shipping to air travel to oil, amid warnings of rising energy costs and disruption to business in the Gulf, a strategic waterway and global trade hub.
    Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said a leadership council composed of himself, the judiciary head and a member of the powerful Guardians Council had temporarily assumed the duties of Supreme Leader following the death of Khamenei.
