Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s death at the hand of a nation he worked very hard to kill is a hinge moment in the history of Iran’s revolution,

[Liu Xin刘欣 @LiuXininBeijing]

Iran's state media confirmed that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in U.S.-Israeli attacks. Are we facing total jungle rule in international relations? What is the strategic logic or principle, if any, that the U.S. and Israel are relying on to justify such an escalation? Join Jeffrey Sachs and me to unpack the deeper geopolitical implications of the U.S.–Israel strikes. #Iran #Israel #US #MiddleEast

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

I just spoke with @KingAbdullahII of Jordan. We stand in full solidarity with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan following yesterday’s Iranian strikes.

With Khamenei gone, there is renewed hope for the people of Iran. We must ensure that the future is theirs to claim and shape.

At the same time, this moment carries a real risk of instability that could push the region into a spiral of violence.

We are engaging closely with all key actors, as well as with our regional partners, to safeguard stability and security and to protect civilian lives.

Jordan is a precious partner for Europe in the region and will play a key role in the period ahead.

Thank you for your leadership in these challenging times. You can count on our full support.

[CHINA MFA Spokesperson 中国外交部发言人 @MFA_China]

The attack and killing of Iran’s supreme leader is a grave violation of Iran’s sovereignty and security. It tramples on the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and basic norms in international relations. China firmly opposes and strongly condemns it.

We urge for an immediate stop to the military operations, no further escalation of the tense situation and joint effort to maintain peace and stability in the Middle East and the world at large.

"Donald Trump has dragged us into a war the American people do not want,"

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

I am following with deep concern what is happening in the Middle East and in Iran during this tumultuous time. Stability and peace are not achieved through mutual threats, nor through the use of weapons, which sow destruction, suffering, and death, but only through reasonable, sincere, and responsible dialogue.

The UK can't be dragged into another protracted Middle Eastern war by a US President.

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

President Trump’s decision to initiate military hostilities into Iran starts another unnecessary war which endangers our servicemembers and destabilizes an already fragile region.

The Constitution is clear: decisions that lead our nation into war must be authorized by Congress.

No Arab autocracy wanted to choose between Iran and the United States—but one factor made the decision easier, and a second made it inevitable, @gcaw argues. https://t.co/ekXLscP1oQ

[CHINA MFA Spokesperson 中国外交部发言人 @MFA_China]

China is highly concerned over the military strikes against Iran launched by the U.S. and Israel. Iran’s sovereignty, security and territorial integrity should be respected.

China calls for an immediate stop of the military actions, no further escalation of the tense situation, resumption of dialogue and negotiation, and efforts to uphold peace and stability in the Middle East.

[The Hindu @the_hindu]

Protests broke out in several parts of Kashmir on Sunday against the killing of Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a US-Israel strike, officials said. Hundreds of protestors took to the streets at various places in areas with a large Shia population, the officials said.

The death of Ali Khamenei is a defining moment in Iran’s history.

What comes next is uncertain. But there is now an open path to a different Iran, one that its people may have greater freedom to shape.

I’m in contact with partners, including those in the region that bear the brunt of Iran’s military actions, to find practical steps for de-escalation.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

President Trump, who said he would avoid needless foreign wars, has embraced military power with few limits.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice.
