Iran's state media is confirming that the country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has died in the U.S.-Israeli strikes on that country.

His daughter and grandchild were also killed.

As NPR's Jackie Northam reports, Khamenei was a hardline leader who oversaw the violent suppression of dissent in Iran.

Protests against the U.S.

strikes on Iran have sprung up across the U.S.

In Los Angeles, protesters gathered outside City Hall to protest the Trump administration.

But near the Wilshire Federal Building in L.A.

's Westwood neighborhood, a different protest took place.

Iranian-Americans celebrated the strikes.

Among them was Michael Razapour.

As expected, international response to the attacks has been mixed.

China says it's highly concerned by the strikes and is calling for them to end.

Germany, France and Britain urged the U.S.

and Iran to restart talks while condemning Iranian attacks in the region.

And the European Union is calling the situation perilous and is urging restraint and respect for the law.

Lawmakers are pushing for a vote to block further military action in Iran without the consent of Congress.
