and Israel began a bombing campaign of Iran leading to the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, there are no signs the attacks and retaliations are winding down as missile defense systems in Qatar and Bahrain intercepted projectiles fired by Iran while there were reports of attacks on Dubai's main airport, the world's busiest aviation hub.
Air raid sirens were also heard in Tel Aviv as Iran attempted to rain down rockets on Israel after the killing of Khomeini and other top political and military leaders.
