The US-Iran War started on Feb 28, 2026 when the Iranian Spiritual Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's residential compound was pounded by American and Israelis missiles and bombs. The intent was regime change, but several months in, the regime seems intact and more hardline. So, is there any hope of peace?

Pimpinan MPR RI menggelar pertemuan bilateral dengan Parlemen Iran untuk memperkuat hubungan diplomatik kedua negara. Dalam pertemuan tersebut, Ketua MPR RI Ahmad Muzani turut menyampaikan belasungkawa atas wafatnya Pemimpin Tertinggi Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, sekaligus membahas perdamaian kawasan dan penguatan kerja sama strategis Indonesia-Iran.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Even as U.S. and Iranian forces continue exchanging strikes, a new power structure is quietly taking shape inside Tehran. We examine who is really running Iran following the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei—and why the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps may now be the country's true center of gravity. We take you inside the Oval Office as new intelligence convinced President Trump to abandon the Iran ceasefire, prompting a return to military action against Tehran.

As the US and Iran trade strikes in the Middle East, huge crowds have gathered in the holy city of Mashhad ahead of the burial of Iran's late Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.We'll try to gauge the mood in the country and assess the options now for both the US and Iran. Also in the programme: The disinformation about Ebola fuelling attacks on Congolese health workers; we'll remember the life of the smash-hit gravel-voiced pop star Bonnie Tyle; and the Norwegian rowing sensation that's become one of the sounds of the men's football World Cup.(Photo shows mourners gathered on the day of the burial of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Mashhad, Iran on 9 July 2026.

In the 23 days since the US and Iran agreed to a ceasefire, strikes have returned, following a familiar pattern: Iran attacks vessels using an internationally backed sea lane in Omani territorial waters, the US retaliates against Iranian military infrastructure, and Iran strikes back at US bases across the region. This week, alongside funeral processions for the assassinated Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, both physical and verbal attacks escalated. Yet, both the US and Iran are still signaling they prefer diplomacy over a return to full-scale war. Despite this week's events, Brent crude oil prices are only $5 above levels that preceded the war. Some 200 million barrels of oil stranded on vessels and in storage have managed to exit the straits since late May. But this crisis is far from over. Inventories of crude oil and oil products have been severely depleted. The trapped oil that has exited Hormuz represents only several weeks of supply, perhaps eight million barrels per day of production remain shut in, and Qatar has yet to restore its LNG production. Today, host Daniel Sternoff sits down with Center on Global Energy Policy experts Anne-Sophie Corbeau and Karen Young to consider the near- and long-term outlook for energy markets. They discuss what's at stake for Iran, how renewed strikes impact traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, and how a sustained uptick in hostility could impact the LNG market heading into winter.

The coffin of Ali Khamenei, Iran's former supreme leader, killed by Israel in February, has been on a procession tour this week of holy sites in Iraq and Iran. Huge crowds gathered wherever it went, the coffin was passed over a sea of hands, and three of Khamenei's sons wept over the coffin in Tehran.Meanwhile, the US and Iran have launched new strikes throughout the week. The peace between the US and Iran is fragile, at best. At worst, it could be over. We speak to Parham Ghobadi, from the BBC's Persian Service.(Photo: Burial of Iran's late Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in Mashhad.

Plus, new allegations surfaced against Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, Iran held a funeral for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and how this year’s Pamplona running of the bulls marks 100 years since Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises. Today’s episode was hosted by Gideon Resnick.

Busjes, accommodatie, eten: het Iraanse regime zet alles op alles om zoveel mogelijk mensen op de been te brengen voor de staatsbegrafenis van Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, de Opperste Leider van Iran die in februari gedood werd bij een Amerikaans-Israëlische aanval. ­ Het regime verwacht miljoenen mensen en organiseert de hele week ceremonies en rouwstoeten in Iran en Irak. Volgens buitenlandjournalist Samira Ataei is dat een moment om sterk uit te pakken: “Voor hen is het belangrijk om te tonen dat er nationale eenheid is, dat ze de oorlog hebben overleefd”. ­ Of Iran echt verenigd achter de nieuwe Opperste Leider Mojtaba Khamenei staat, is maar de vraag. Hij toont zich niet publiekelijk, wat de deur opent naar nieuwe machtsverhoudingen. “Er was al een soort van evolutie gaande richting een meer militair gecentreerd systeem en ik denk die dat door de oorlog in een stroomversnelling is geraakt”, zegt Samira Ataei. ­ Zal Mojtaba Khamenei er alsnog in slagen om de macht een gezicht te geven? Of is de staatsbegrafenis een laatste stuiptrekking van het oude regime, waarin de religieuze leiders de plak zwaaiden? En hoe ziet de toekomst eruit voor de Iraanse bevolking?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The drums of war are beating again in Yemen. A series of recent incidents suggests that both Iran and Saudi Arabia are more assertively supporting their Yemeni allies at the risk of shattering an informal four-year ceasefire in the kingdom's war against Iranian-backed Houthi rebels. The recent incidents stand in stark contrast to the kingdom's tacit outreach to Iran. Saudi Arabia sent a delegation to this week's funeral proceedings for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's assassinated supreme leader, enabled the indirect sale of five aging Boeing 777-200ERs to an Iranian airline, and proposed a post-war regional security architecture that would include Iran. Moreover, Saudi Arabia, which intervened in Yemen in 2015 to counter Houthi military advances, has not closed the door on a negotiated resolution of the conflict. “The political solution remains on the table; power-sharing, which could save (the Houthis) from destruction. The Houthis remain a Yemeni player with the right to be a partner in power, not to dominate it,” said Abdulrahman al-Rashed, a Saudi columnist who often reflects official Saudi thinking. Fuelling the rising tensions are rival perceptions of windows of opportunity created by the failure of the US-Iranian memorandum that extended the Iran war ceasefire and created the basis for negotiations to end the war to address Iran's support for its Arab partners, including the Houthis.

The Ukrainian Air Force says a shortage of interceptor missiles meant none of the 23 ballistic missiles fired by Russia at Kyiv on Sunday night were shot down. It was the second large-scale deadly Russian attack on the Ukrainian capital in a week. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called on allies to take "strong decisions" at this week's Nato summit to provide Kyiv with air defences. Also, huge crowds fill the streets of Tehran for the funeral procession of Iran's late supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Three of his sons prayed beside his coffin at the Grand Mosalla mosque but Motjaba, the son who succeeded him as supreme leader, did not make an appearance; President Trump has been justifying his intervention in FIFA's decision to lift a one-match ban on Folarin Balogun, America's top scorer at the World Cup. Speaking to reporters in the White House, Mr Trump said it was unfair to take out one of the US's best players, and all that he had done was ask FIFA for a review. As fighting intensifies in Sudan's civil war, the UN Human Rights council has ordered an urgent investigation into allegations of abuses in and around the city of El-Obeid.

FIFA's Disciplinary Committee suspended U.S. World Cup team member Folarin Balogun's one-game red card ban in exchange for a probationary period of one year. The suspended suspension means the striker can play in Monday night's win-or-go-home match in Seattle versus Belgium. Reporter Steve Futterman joins us. Then, in Tehran on Monday, Iranians thronged the funeral procession for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a U.S.-Israeli airstrike in February. Roben Farzad, host of the podcast Full Disclosure, reflects on Khamenei's decades of iron rule and the regime his son is continuing as peace talks stall between Iran and the U.S.  And, are we living through an unprecedented time in U.S. history? Historian Heather Cox Richardson thinks so, up to a point. As we turn the corner on America's 250th birthday, Richardson talks about the current, unparalleled "attempt to dismantle our democracy," as she sees it, versus the long American tradition of fighting back.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports on a procession for the funeral of the late Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, killed in a airstrike at the start of the war launched by Israel and the U.S.

A massive six-day funeral for Iran's late supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is underway. Khamenei was killed by a US-Israeli strike at the beginning of the months-long war in the Middle East. Millions are set to attend the service according to Iranian officials who are also calling it the "funeral of the century". However, there's one major figure who's yet to appear at the memorial. Middle East correspondent Lou Browne spoke to Lisa Owen.

Les funérailles d'Ali Khamenei ont débuté à Téhéran, où son cercueil, exposé pendant deux jours à la Grande Mosalla, traverse désormais la capitale au milieu d'une foule immense. Tué lors des bombardements israélo-américains du 28 février, l'ancien Guide suprême a été remplacé par son fils, Mojtaba Khamenei, blessé dans l'attaque et absent de ces hommages. Au-delà du recueillement, ces funérailles, à forte portée symbolique, sont aussi l'occasion pour le régime d'affirmer son autorité.

As mourners gather in Iran to pay their respects to the country's former supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, we hear from Tehran about the significance of the six-day funeral.

DOCKET ALERTS:   War Powers Resolution fails in both Houses of Congress.   DHS is ramping up for an immigration surge in Maryland and has purchased an 825,000-square-foot warehouse in Hagerstown. The state is suing to block the facility on environmental grounds. In Baltimore, Judge Julie Rubin joins judges in New York and Los Angeles in holding that ICE is systematically violating the Fifth Amendment rights of immigrants in "temporary" detention by holding them for days on end without hygiene, medical care, or access to counsel.   Kalshi customers have filed a class action suit over the company's refusal to pay out on bets — oops, we mean CONTRACT SWAPS — that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would leave office as Supreme Leader of Iran before March 1.   Trump continues to defy the Constitution's requirement that he get Senate approval for principal officers. We discussed it in our post on Judge Lamberth holding that Kari Lake was never legally serving as head of the US Agency for Global Media, and thus her directives are null and void. And Judge Matthew Brann has ruled once again that Attorney General Pam Bondi can't evade senate confirmation for the US Attorney in New Jersey — no, not even if she spreads the appointment out among three lawyers, not just one.    And we'll talk about the Trump administration's humiliating U-turn as it tries to un-dismiss the appeal in the case of the executive orders targeting law firms, as well as Anthropic's complaint against the government. Turns out, defying Trump can be good for business!   Subscriber Bonus: The Trump administration just dismissed the antitrust suit against Live Nation mid-trial for, uh, reasons.    ICE awards $113 million to build out Hagerstown detention center https://www.thebanner.com/politics-power/national-politics/ice-hagerstown-detention-center-contract-AHIV2KEHQJAVFMWBYKO2YBWOCU/   Maryland v.

On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched military strikes against Iran. Over 100 aircraft dropped bombs on strategic targets, and more than 850 Tomahawk missiles were launched from US Navy destroyers and submarines. Over forty top Iranian military commanders were killed in the opening attack, along with supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran's response was immediate. Hundreds of missiles and thousands of drones were launched at targets throughout the region.
