US-Israel vs Iran War News Live Updates: Iran has warned citizens living abroad that their assets in the country could be confiscated if they support or cooperate with the United States, Israel, or their allies. According to CNN reports, the Prosecutor General’s Office said “Any operational action carried out for Israel, hostile governments such as the United States, or any of their affiliated agents against the country’s security” would also be punishable by the death penalty, the statement said. The warning comes as anti-regime Iranians across Europe, North America, and Australia celebrate recent US strikes and the reported death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Khamenei’s son supreme leader: The Middle East has entered a volatile new era as Mojtaba Khamenei is officially named to succeed his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, following the elder leader’s death in initial US-Israeli strikes. As the conflict enters its 10th day, the geopolitical landscape is shifting rapidly: hardline Iranian factions have solidified power, global oil prices have skyrocketed by over 25 per cent, and military escalations have spread to Lebanon, Iraq, and Bahrain.

Iran war: Here are key developments:
- The succession: The Assembly of Experts has confirmed Mojtaba Khamenei as Supreme Leader. Despite US President Donald Trump’s refusal to recognise his legitimacy, the Iranian defence councils have pledged total “commander-in-chief” loyalty.
- Energy crisis: Brent crude has surged to $117.65/barrel—the largest single-day jump in history—as the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed, choking 20% of global supply.
- Military escalation: Israel has launched fresh waves of strikes targeting Tehran’s ballistic missile silos and Hezbollah infrastructure in Beirut. Concurrently, drone strikes have hit the Bapco refinery in Bahrain and U.S. facilities in Iraq.
- Humanitarian toll: Reported civilian casualties in Iran have surpassed 1,300, while the US military confirms a seventh American service member has died from wounds sustained in the initial counter-attacks.
