JERUSALEM: The Israeli military said on Sunday that it had begun striking targets deep inside Tehran, a day after a joint US-Israeli attack killed Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

“The command has called in approximately 20,000 reservists” who have joined over the past 24 hours the Home Front Command forces across the country, it said on its website.
