US President Donald Trump has said American forces have struck hundreds of targets across Iran, including facilities linked to the Revolutionary Guard and Iranian air defence systems, as the conflict in the region intensifies.

In a video message on Sunday, Trump said US forces had also destroyed nine ships and a naval building “in a matter of minutes”. He claimed that Iran’s former Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, is dead and that much of the country’s military command structure has been eliminated, the PTI reported on X.
