Iran's Assembly of Experts named a provisional Supreme Leadership Council of three senior clerics and two IRGC generals, chaired by Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati. Legitimacy is contested — hardline IRGC factions are already signaling they won't defer to civilian authority during wartime.

🔴 CENTCOM says 3 US service members killed, 5 seriously wounded in Iran operation
U.S. Central Command said three American service members were killed and five more were seriously wounded during operations tied to the Iran campaign.

🔴 Al Jazeera reports Iranian drone strike hit Al Salam Naval Base in Abu Dhabi
Al Jazeera published video it says shows a second Iranian drone striking the Al Salam Naval Base in Abu Dhabi. If confirmed by Emirati authorities, the strike would widen active combat into critical Gulf military infrastructure and deepen regional involvement beyond Israel and Iran. A direct hit in the UAE also raises risk to shipping lanes, logistics hubs, and multinational forces operating near the Strait of Hormuz.

🔴 Haaretz: Nine killed after Iranian missile hit synagogue bomb shelter in Beit Shemesh
Haaretz reported that nine people were killed when an Iranian missile struck a synagogue bomb shelter in Beit Shemesh, with medics reporting dozens wounded. The report describes a direct impact in central Israel, underscoring that civilian protection infrastructure itself is now being penetrated. A mass-casualty strike on a shelter location is likely to intensify pressure for expanded Israeli counterstrikes and harder civil-defense restrictions nationwide.

🟡 Times of Israel: Ali Larijani joins interim council governing Iran after Khamenei death
The Times of Israel reports that Ali Larijani, a longtime regime insider and former parliamentary speaker, is now part of the interim council governing Iran after Ali Khamenei’s death. His placement points to continuity through establishment figures rather than a sudden transfer to reformist actors.

🔴 CENTCOM says 3 US service members killed in Iran operation
US Central Command said at least three American service members were killed during operations tied to the Iran campaign, marking the first publicly confirmed US military fatalities in this phase of the war. The deaths elevate domestic political pressure in Washington and raise the likelihood of further force-protection strikes across US positions in the region. A confirmed casualty count from Pentagon briefings now becomes a key benchmark for escalation risk.
