"A suspected Iranian missile was seen over Tel Aviv on Monday, striking areas across central Israel, as explosions were heard in and around the city. According to Israeli figures, at least 19 Israelis have been reported dead since the start of the conflict, with nearly 3,000 injured and widespread property damage. It comes after a joint US-Israeli operation against Iranian targets started on February 28 amid diplomatic talks aimed at limiting Iran's nuclear and missile programmes. Tehran responded with strikes on Israel and US military positions in the region, with explosions reported across Gulf countries.  Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was confirmed dead on the first day, and his son Mojtaba Khamenei was later selected as successor. US President Donald Trump warned that any new leader would 'not stay for long' if elected without US consent. The fighting has drawn in Lebanon's Hezbollah and led to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which handles 20 per cent of global oil traffic. Oil prices have surged above 100 dollars per barrel, sparking protests worldwide and straining global markets. "
