Columns of smoke were seen rising in Tehran on Sunday (March 1) after Israel said it had launched another wave of attacks on Iran.
A source briefed on the Israeli campaign told Reuters there had been no change in military strategy after the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei the day before, and that strikes would continue to target Iranian officials and missile infrastructure.
In another blow for Iran's leaders, Armed Forces Chief of Staff Abdolrahim Mousavi was killed in the strikes, broadcaster Iran TV said.
Iran's top security official, Ali Larijani, said a temporary leadership council would be set up.
