Shockwaves Across the Middle East as Israel Strikes Tehran After Khamenei’s Death

People mourn the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in joint US and Israeli strikes, at a square in Tehran on March 1, 2026. Israel’s latest strike on Tehran has intensified an already volatile regional crisis, coming just hours after Iran launched a sweeping retaliation for the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in joint U.S.–Israeli attacks. The explosion in the Iranian capital sent a massive plume of smoke over the city as Israeli forces targeted what they described as strategic sites at the heart of Tehran.  Iran’s response has been fierce and far‑reaching.

Maple-Glazed Chicken Breasts



Here's an easy main dish that's sure to set you on your own quest for the best maple syrup. Start the chicken breasts marinating on a Saturday afternoon for a quick meal later in the day.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, (about 8 ounces), trimmed and tenders removed (see Tip)

Directions

  1. 1. Whisk syrup, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, ginger and pepper in a small, shallow dish. Add chicken and turn to coat with the marinade; cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, turning once.

  2. 2. Coat an indoor grill pan with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserving the marinade) and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 165°F, about 6 to 8 minutes per side.

    1. 3. Meanwhile, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until reduced by about half, about 4 minutes. Liberally baste the chicken with the reduced sauce and serve.

    2. Tip

    3. Wrap and freeze the chicken tenders. When you have gathered enough, use them in a stir-fry—they are the perfect size.
