The U.S. and Israel are pounding targets across Iran, dropping massive bombs on the country’s ballistic missile facilities and wiping out warships as part of an intensifying military campaign that accompanied the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iranian officials say more than 200 people have been killed since the start of the strikes that killed Khamenei and other senior leaders. Blasts across the country rattled windows and sent plumes of smoke high into the sky Sunday in the capital city of Tehran. Iran vowed revenge, firing missiles at Israel and Gulf Arab states in a counteroffensive that the U.S. military said resulted in the deaths of three service members — the first known American casualties from the conflict.
