Iran Warns of Retaliation After Khamenei's Death

0:00On this March 2nd, here's what's shaping the world. A U.S. intelligence report warns that Iran and its allies could strike American targets after the killing of Supreme Leader Ali Kamenay in Israeli and U.S. strikes on February 28th. The Department of Homeland Security assessment says, targeted attacks are likely, though a major assault remains unlikely. In the coming days, officials expect mostly low-level cyber operations from Iran linked attackers, like website defacements and denial of service hits. On U.S. networks, the report predicts Iran will ramp up retaliation if the leader's death holds up. Iran confirmed Kamenay's passing on Sunday, following announcements from Israel and President Donald Trump. Tensions are high as Iran blames U.S. officials for sparking protests and vows to keep targeting American and allied sites in the Middle East. The air campaign has grown, with Israel hitting Lebanon over Hezbollah strikes, and Iran launching missiles and drones at Gulf Nations hosting U.S. troops. This marks a sharp widening of the conflict.
