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.

Alberta Premier Warns Against Escalation Amid Labour Action Threats

 

                                            Alberta Premier Danielle Smith arrives at the Legislature for the throne speech, in Edmonton, on Thursday, Oct. 23, 2025.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith used her weekly call-in radio show to address growing tensions over the province’s plan to legislate striking teachers back to work. Smith said she hopes the legislation, expected Monday, will not trigger broader labour unrest but emphasized her government is prepared to act if necessary.

The Alberta Federation of Labour, representing more than 350,000 workers, has warned of “unprecedented mobilization” if the government invokes the notwithstanding clause to override teachers’ right to strike. Union leaders argue such a move would undermine constitutional protections and escalate the dispute.

Smith did not rule out using the clause, saying her government must balance the rights of taxpayers, students, and teachers. She added that if teachers refuse to return voluntarily, they will be ordered back to classrooms.

The strike, involving more than 50,000 teachers, has already disrupted schools across the province. With unions threatening wider action, Alberta faces a critical week that could reshape its labour relations landscape.
