On the 39th day of the Middle East war, tensions between Washington and Tehran continue to rise as both sides remain firm on their conditions. Heavy strikes and counterstrikes are ongoing across the Gulf region, with attacks reported in Tehran, Saudi Arabia’s Al Jubail, and Iraq’s Erbil. The United States and Israel targeted Mehrabad Airport and residential areas in Tehran, while Iran responded with its 98th wave of missiles and drones, vowing revenge for its slain intelligence chief. Amid the escalating conflict, a major development has emerged regarding Mojtaba Khamenei. According to reports linked to MI6, Mojtaba is allegedly unconscious and unable to govern after being injured in earlier strikes that also killed Ali Khamenei. He is reportedly receiving treatment in Qom under tight security. However, these claims remain unverified, as conflicting reports continue to surface. Meanwhile, leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu urge continued military action, signaling no immediate path toward ceasefire.
