The United States and Israel continue to strike Iran, while the Islamic republic responds with attacks on Gulf states hosting U.S. military bases. Overnight into March 1, Iranian authorities officially confirmed the death of Ayatollah Khamenei, after previously dismissing media reports of his death as “psychological warfare”. Over the decades, millions of people have emigrated from Iran, and for many of them the U.S.-Israeli operation against the current власти in the Islamic republic, along with Ali Khamenei’s death, became a trigger for public expressions of celebration. Across the world—from the United States to Japan—Iranian refugees and members of the diaspora took to the streets.
