Muharram Procession In Kashmir
Kashmiri Shiite Muslims carry portraits of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as they mourn on the first day of the Islamic month of Muharram in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on June 27, 2025. Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz says that his country wants to kill Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei during the recent 12-day war between the two sides that ends this week with a ceasefire. Meanwhile, Khamenei, 86, claims victory after 12 days of war, culminating in an Iranian attack on the largest US military base in the Middle East, in Qatar, after the US joins the Israeli assault. In his first public remarks since the ceasefire with Israel takes effect, Iran's Supreme Leader declares that Iran will ''never surrender'' to the United States, striking a defiant tone.
