Israel is launching a new wave of strikes in Tehran, which has been choked by smoke following attacks on its energy resources.  Iran state-media says a new supreme leader has been chosen but they're yet to be named.  Israel is also claiming its first military deaths of the war with two soldiers dead in southern Lebanon.  Iran continues to lash out at US allies with Saudi Arabia authorities saying two have been killed and 12 injured in a recent attack.  The Guardian Washington Bureau Chief David Smith told Ryan Bridge that Iran is risking further spreading the war.  LISTEN ABOUT See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
