U.S. Officials Say Iran’s New Supreme Leader Gravely Wounded Amid Escalating Conflict

Protesters hold posters of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his son, Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, during a protest marking al-Quds Day (Jerusalem Day), after Friday prayers at Fatih Mosque in Istanbul. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has confirmed that Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei , was seriously wounded and likely disfigured during the opening phase of U.S. and Israeli military strikes.

Qatar Pushes for Gaza Truce Amid Hamas Agreement, Israel Yet to Respond

 

Ahmed Al-Hajj carries the body of his daughter, Dana Al-Hajj, 13, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in the Gaza Strip, at Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah, Tuesday, Aug. 19, 2025. 


Qatar has renewed calls for an urgent ceasefire in Gaza after confirming that Hamas has given a “positive response” to a proposal aimed at halting the nearly two-year conflict. The plan, closely mirroring a previous U.S.-backed framework, includes a 60-day truce, phased hostage releases, and increased humanitarian aid.

Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari described the development as encouraging but cautioned that no breakthrough can be claimed until Israel formally replies. Israel’s leadership has maintained its stance that all hostages must be freed and Hamas disarmed before the war ends.

The urgency of the talks comes as Israeli forces prepare for expanded operations in densely populated areas, raising fears for civilians sheltering in so-called humanitarian zones. Gaza health officials reported dozens of deaths in the latest strikes, including entire families killed in their tents.

Mediators from Qatar, Egypt, and the United States are pressing both sides to finalize an agreement, warning that failure could deepen the humanitarian crisis.
