Well, Karen, Iran is looking for a successor to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the 86-year-old supreme leader of Iran who was killed in the airstrikes.

Golnar Motavali leads Bloomberg's coverage in Iran.

Bloomberg's Golnar Motivaldi says Iran's constitution does call for an assembly of experts to choose the next supreme leader, but that may not be possible in wartime.

And there is plenty of reaction from world leaders this morning to the military action in Iran, Karen.

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takahashi condemned Iran's nuclear program in a carefully worded response that avoided commenting on whether Tokyo supported Washington's strikes on Tehran.

North Korea condemned Israel's military attack with U.S.

military support as a, quote, shameless and illegal act of aggression.

The UK, France and Germany have issued a joint statement saying they were not involved in the strikes but are in close contact with the US, Israel and partners in the region.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer says the UK will not be involved in offensive action.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer says the UK has since allowed the US to make use of British military bases for the specific purpose of destroying Iranian missile sites.
