Trump Signals Willingness to Talk to New Iranian Leadership as Strikes Continue

The strike killed 48 Iranian leaders, triggering widespread regional attacks and disruptions while President Trump expressed willingness to engage in talks with Iran's new leadership.

  • On Saturday, Israel struck Tehran, killing Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and close family members at his central leadership compound, according to reports.
  • U.S.-Iran talks had stalled, prompting Israel and the U.S. to time their attack to a meeting Khamenei was holding, as he exercises ultimate authority over Iran's military and foreign policy.
  • President Donald Trump said 48 leaders were killed, three U.S. service personnel died, and global shipping and air travel were disrupted with major Middle Eastern airports closed.
  • A senior White House official said for now `Operation Epic Fury continues unabated`, even as Trump told The Atlantic `They want to talk, and I have agreed to talk, so I will be talking to them`. Traders expect sharp jumps in crude oil prices on Monday.
  • No clear successor is in place after Khamenei's death, with a leadership council taking over as Iranians respond with mixed reactions, and experts warn regime resilience may endure.
