"The US Central Command (CENTCOM) on Saturday released footage reportedly showing several Iranian-linked targets being struck by US forces at an undisclosed location. The exact date and location of the footage could not be independently verified. "Iran's capabilities are declining," CENTCOM cited its commander, Admiral Brad Cooper, on X (formerly Twitter). 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.  Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was confirmed dead on the first day, and his son Mojtaba Khamenei was later named as successor. The war also disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a route for about 20 percent of global oil, as Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned it could be restricted to allies, driving a global surge in oil prices."
