This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service.
I'm Alex Ritson, and at 14 hours GMT on Sunday 1st March, we're looking at the continuing fallout from US and Israeli strikes on Iran.
The country has come under attack for a second day following the death of the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Many Iranians have been celebrating the demise of the man they blame for thousands of deaths despite an official declaration of mourning.
In this edition, we'll hear the latest from the strikes in Iran and Tehran's strikes on Israel and across the Middle East.
We'll ask what legal basis President Trump had to launch these attacks and how it's being seen by his supporters and rivals.
And we'll find out what happens next in Tehran now that the regime is without its supreme leader.
In the last edition of the Global News podcast, we reported that Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had been killed in his office in the first wave of US-Israeli strikes on Saturday.
In the hours since then, loud explosions have again been heard across Tehran as Israel maintains its operations against the Iranian capital.
Many Iranians inside and outside the country celebrated the news that the man who held absolute power for 40 years was dead.
but others mourned his death, including these people on the streets of the Iranian capital.
Several high-ranking officials were also killed in Saturday's attacks.
