Meanwhile, Israeli radio GLZRadio cited sources claiming Germany is seriously considering joining the campaign against Iran if the attacks on the Middle East continue.

Key points

  • Iranian Red Crescent stated 555 compatriots died in the US-Israeli strikes.
  • The attacks in Tehran's eastern, western, and southern districts coincided with the morning call to prayer, according to ISNA.
  • German Foreign Ministry representatives and Bundestag Foreign Affairs Committee members have reportedly begun planning potential joint actions with the USA, ranging from bombing to military support.
  • Iranian state TV and agencies reported the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and family members following a strike on his residence.
  • Iran's ambassador to Azerbaijan stated the casualty figures do not include the previous day's attack on Gandhi hospital.

Why it matters
