American president says the attack on Tehran was so successful that the candidates identified to replace Khamenei were also killed, leaving succession wide open. US President Donald Trump has said that the American and Israeli airstrike that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday also killed the men the United States had identified as his most likely successors, leaving no clear picture of who will lead the Islamic Republic next. Trump made the remarks in a phone interview with US-based channel ABC News’ Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl on Sunday night. “The attack was so successful it knocked…

The crashes, which include a US F-15 fighter jet, comes as Iran has launched waves of missile and drone attacks in retaliation to the US-Israel strikes. Three F-15E “Strike Eagle” fighter jets were shot down in separate incidents by Kuwaiti air defences in what’s known in military circles as friendly fire — mistakes, essentially — the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed on Monday evening. According to CENTCOM, the aircraft were “mistakenly shot down” by Kuwaiti forces during operations. “All six aircrew members, two on each plane, ejected safely, have been recovered, and are in stable condition. Kuwait has acknowledged…

Iran has been threatening vessels approaching Strait of Hormuz, and is believed to have launched multiple attacks to counter US-Israel aggression. A bomb-carrying drone boat struck a Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman on Monday, killing one mariner on board, Oman said on Monday. It was not immediately reported who launched this attack amid the US-Israel strikes on Iran and the latter’s retaliation on US bases across the Middle East/West Asia region. The state-run Oman News Agency reported the attack in the Gulf of Oman off the coast of Muscat, the sultanate’s capital. It identified the vessel…

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for “standing with the truth” amid the Israel-US war with Iran. Netanyahu also said he had spoken to PM Modi yesterday, along with other regional leaders. He was reportedly in Beit Shemesh, where an Iranian missile attack resulted in the death of 9 people on Sunday. “I spoke to my great friend PM Narendra Modi yesterday. I thank him for standing with us, standing with the truth,” Netanyahu said. The report comes amid Iran’s claims that it had targeted Netanyahu’s office in an attack on Monday. It wasn’t…

PARIS — American forward Folarin Balogun extended his excellent run of form with another goal as Monaco defeated Angers 2-0 in Ligue 1 on Saturday. Balogun put the host in the lead in the 57th minute with his fourth goal in seven matches. Luck was on his side when his header connected with a cross; the ball bounced back on an opponent then on his leg before crossing the goalline. Monaco dominated and deservedly doubled its lead in the 62nd when Simon Adingra slotted home with a powerful curled shot from outside the box. Monaco posted a third straight win…

Liverpool boss Arne Slot said his side have played better this season and lost, but underlined the impact of set pieces after Saturday’s 5-2 win over West Ham. For only the second time in Premier League history a team scored three times from first-half corners as goals from Hugo Ekitike, Virgil van Dijk and Alexis Mac Allister put the English champions in a commanding position. That followed a recent trend as Van Dijk also scored away at Sunderland and Bournemouth in recent weeks, Ibrahima Konate netted from a corner in a 4-1 win over Newcastle and Dominik Szoboszlai’s stunning free-kick…

Pep Guardiola is confident Erling Haaland’s injury will not be a “big issue” after the Manchester City striker missed his side’s vital 1-0 win against Leeds on Saturday. Haaland was a surprise absence from the City line-up at Elland Road following the minor knock he suffered in training on Thursday. City coped without Haaland as Antoine Semenyo’s first half goal sealed their fourth successive Premier League victory. Guardiola’s men are just two points behind leaders Arsenal, who host Chelsea on Sunday, as the title race heats up. Losing the prolific Haaland for a prolonged period would be a hammer blow…

Inter Milan bounced back from Champions League elimination with Saturday’s 2-0 win over Genoa which continued their march towards the Serie A title. Federico Dimarco’s brilliant volley just after the half-hour mark and Hakan Calhanoglu’s second-half penalty were enough for Inter to extend their already huge lead over AC Milan at the top of the table to 13 points. Milan will be favourites to win at Cremonese in Sunday’s early fixture, with the local rivals set to face off next weekend in a match which will in all likelihood have little impact on the destination of the Scudetto. Inter, whose…

Lionel Messi vs Lamine Yamal — the marquee hook for Finalissima 2026 — has been pushed into uncertainty after Qatar’s football shutdown, with the Spain vs Argentina showpiece now effectively on hold pending further updates from local authorities and organisers. UEFA had officially announced the match for March 27, 2026, at Lusail Stadium in Qatar, billing it as the meeting of the UEFA Euro 2024 and Copa América 2024 champions. The immediate trigger is a fresh decision reported by Qatar News Agency, which said the Qatar Football Association (QFA) has postponed all sports competitions, championships and matches “starting today until…
