Urging restraint, he called on Tehran to “return to reason and responsibility” in dealing with its neighbours, cautioning that continued escalation could widen diplomatic isolation at a critical moment for the region.

Israel unleashed 30 bombs on the fortified site, vaporising Khamenei and family members- his daughter, granddaughter, daughter-in-law and son-in-law- in the compound’s heart.
