Reese Witherspoon's father hospitalised after poolside incident in Nashville: Report
US forces have attacked roughly 170 targets in two days. Three members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have been killed in US strikes on Iran, according to the Mizan news agency. The last two have been back and forth, while Thursday appears to have a bigger magnitude. The funeral procession for the late Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has reached the city of Mashhad. Anticipating an escalation and a possible naval blockade by the US, Iran has shipped 10 million barrels of crude overnight, as the US has revoked the 60-day sanctions waiver to temporarily market its oil.
