Precision strikes hit homes in Tehran and Qom in suspected targeted killings

Mar 8, 2026, 02:31 GMT+0

A residential building in the holy city of Qom was attacked by US-Israeli airstrikes early Sunday, deputy governor general of Qom province, home to the world's biggest Shia seminary, told state media.

Hours earlier, photos and videos circulating on social media showed a similar attack on a residential building in Shahr-e Rey, southern Tehran, in what seems to be another attempt at targeted killing.

Iran won’t leave Trump alone for killing Khamenei, Larijani says

Mar 7, 2026, 20:48 GMT+0

Ali Larijani, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, told the state TV on Saturday that the Islamic Republic will not "leave Trump alone" over his killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

“Trump got a taste of what happened in Venezuela and liked it, thinking he could quickly do the same in Iran. Now he’s stuck," Larijani said.

"We will not leave him alone. He must pay the price for what he did. He killed our leader and martyred more than 1,000 of our people. This is not a simple matter.”

"We won't leave him alone until reciprocating what he did," he reiterated in a post on his X account.

Larijani vows to keep striking regional countries used for attacks on Iran

Mar 7, 2026, 20:19 GMT+0

Iran’s top security official Ali Larijani warned on Saturday that Tehran would continue attacking neighboring countries if they allow their territory to be used for attacks against Iran, hours after President Masoud Pezeshkian apologized to Arab neighbors.

Speaking in a televised interview, Larijani said "countries in the region must either stop the United States from using their territory against Iran themselves, or we will do it."

“Two regional countries have said they will prevent attacks by the United States from their soil, although we find it unlikely,” Larijani said. “We will wait and see. If they prevent it, we will have no issue with them.”

He also said Iran has no issue with Baku but cautioned that any hostile action originating from its territory would draw a response.

“We have no issue with Azerbaijan, but if a conspiracy or flights against Iran are carried out from that country, we will respond,” he warned.
