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.

Global Tensions Rise as UN Reimposes Sanctions on Iran

 


The United Nations has reinstated an arms embargo and sweeping sanctions on Iran after European powers accused Tehran of violating the 2015 nuclear agreement. Britain, France, and Germany triggered the so-called “snapback” mechanism at the UN Security Council, citing Iran’s enrichment of uranium beyond permitted levels and restrictions placed on international inspectors.

The renewed measures include a ban on arms sales, uranium enrichment, and ballistic missile development, alongside travel bans and asset freezes targeting dozens of Iranian individuals and entities. All UN member states are now authorized to seize prohibited materials linked to Iran’s nuclear program.

Iran has strongly condemned the move, recalling its ambassadors from London, Paris, and Berlin. President Masoud Pezeshkian insisted that while Iran will remain within the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, it will not bow to what he called “unjust pressure.” Meanwhile, Israel welcomed the sanctions as a “major development,” while Russia denounced them as “unlawful” and warned the UN against recognizing their legitimacy.

The reimposition of sanctions comes amid heightened instability in the Middle East, following recent strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities by Israel and the United States. European leaders stressed that diplomacy remains on the table, urging Tehran to return to compliance and resume negotiations.
