- Story Text:Thousands took to the streets in Paris on Sunday (March 1) to celebrate after U.S. and Israeli strikes killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, leaving the Islamic Republic grappling to rebuild its leadership amid its biggest test in five decades.
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 Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
President Emmanuel Macron said on Saturday (February 28) that France was neither told in advance nor involved in the strikes against Iran.
