The US and Israel had launched an aggressive attack on Iran, assassinating its Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several military generals. The development has led to the escalation in the Middle East and the blocking of the Strait of Hormuz.
US, Israel assassinate Iranian leader
On Saturday, February 28, the US, in a joint military operation with Israel, attacked Iran and assassinated the country's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The killing of the Iranian leader led to the ongoing escalation in the Middle East. Iran has continued to attack Israel and the US facilities in neighbouring countries, such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Dubai and many others.
As part of its efforts to win the war, the US announced the designation of the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organisation, alleging they were trained and supported by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Secretary Marco Rubio, the US Secretary of State, announced the development in a statement on Monday, March 9, 2026, adding that the group was designated by the State Department.
Aside from Brazil and South Africa, some European countries, including the United Kingdom and Spain, have condemned the US attack on Iran.

MOR commented:
"May their souls rest in peace. We live in a cruel world, unfortunately. A pedo just bombs innocent people to distract from his crimes."
RealDons blamed Iran:
"Counting the dead will not stop the war. Iran has been given opportunity after opportunity to stop its nuclear bomb enrichment, but it believes that it can play and manipulate Trump as it played and manipulated Obama and Biden."
Gene Kwame Zrizi wrote:
"Wow, it's less than 10% of what Iran did to the protesters in two weeks! This war is too humane and forgiving."
