Chapter 1: What major event occurred in Iran on February 28, 2026?
This is a Fox News alert. A big blow to Iran. I'm Carmen Roberts. Fox News has learned today's U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Iran killed the country's leader.
Fox News can confirm that Iran's supreme leader, the Ayatollah Khamenei, is dead.
Fox's Trey Yankst in Tel Aviv.
This is a major blow to the Iranian regime. Iran's supreme leader, the Ayatollah Khamenei, was not a figurehead.
Chapter 2: How did the U.S.-Israeli airstrikes impact Iran's leadership?
He was the man in charge of decisions as it relates to Iran's nuclear program, their expanding ballistic missile program, the hardline positions that made it impossible for the Americans to reach a diplomatic solution with the Iranians.
New explosions reported across Iran in the past few hours, with Israel saying that its air force continues to operate in Iran. The attack risks sparking a wider conflict as Iran fights back, targeting Israel and U.S. bases in the region.
And while most members of Congress agree Iran is a threat to peace, Democrats and some Republicans say the president needed congressional approval for the military action.
Top House Democrat Hakeem Jeffries calls Iran a bad actor that must be confronted for support of terrorism and nuclear ambitions, but adds absent exigent circumstances, the administration must seek congressional authorization. The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, Jim Himes, was briefed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and says this is a war of choice with no strategic endgame.
Fox's Jared Halpern reporting. Democratic Senator John Fetterman, however, tells Fox News he supports the strikes.
Iran massacred 30,000 of their own people right now. This war is not about the Iranian people. It's about this poisonous regime. And that's why I'm proud to stand with our military. I'm proud to stand with Israel, too.
And the House has set a vote on war powers this week that would restrict Trump's ability to carry out further attacks in Iran. America's listening to Fox News.

Chapter 3: What are the potential consequences of the airstrikes on U.S.-Iran relations?
Just before a convicted child molester was about to get out of prison, authorities in California arrested David Allen Funston on new molestation charges.
The California Board of Parole decided to release Funston under the state's elderly parole program, where inmates are eligible for a parole hearing if they're older than 50 and been incarcerated for at least 20 years. His parole hearing transcripts say Funston told commissioners that he was still attracted to female children
The commissioners found he no longer posed a threat to the community because of his good behavior in prison, his work in therapy and his plan to avoid repeating his crimes. California Governor Gavin Newsom says the parole board should have reversed their decision, but that he does not have the authority to overrule it.
