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.

In a rare and highly symbolic gathering, Chinese President Xi Jinping welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to Beijing for an elaborate military parade marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.

Kim’s arrival, via his signature armored train, marked his first visit to China in six years and his debut at a major multilateral diplomatic event. Putin, calling relations with China “unprecedented,” joined Xi in projecting a united front amid deepening ties between their nations and Pyongyang.

Analysts say the trio’s public show of solidarity — dubbed by some as an “Axis of Upheaval” — underscores a growing alignment among countries facing Western sanctions and geopolitical pressure. While no formal trilateral meeting has been confirmed, the optics alone send a clear signal: Beijing, Moscow, and Pyongyang are willing to stand together in open defiance of U.S.-led global norms.
