Cheers in Tehran. Retaliation and mourning by Iran. Protests in some parts of the Muslim world, celebrations in others.

Iranian strikes and drone attacks targeted northern Iraq, where U.S. troops are deployed, as furious protests raged in Baghdad on Sunday over the killing of Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

France can only "be satisfied" with the killing of Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in U.S.-Israeli strikes, said government spokeswoman Maud Bregeon on Sunday.

Israel's military said Sunday that it was "not aware" of any U.S. or Israeli strike on a school in Iran that Iranian authorities say was hit the previous day, killing over 100 people.

The Israeli military on Sunday said it had destroyed roughly half of Iran's missile stockpiles, adding the Islamic republic had been producing dozens of surface-to-surface missiles each month.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that there were signs that Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had been killed in an attack on his compound as part of U.S.-Israeli strikes.

The United States and Israel launched a wave of strikes against targets in Iran on Saturday, sparking swift retaliation by the Islamic republic which responded with missile attacks across the region.

Two witnesses told AFP they heard an explosion and saw a plume of smoke rising from Dubai's famed man-made island The Palm, as Iran carried out retaliatory strikes in the Gulf following U.S. and Israeli attacks.

The death toll from an attack Saturday on a school in Iran's south has risen to 85, the judiciary said, after the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on the Islamic republic.

"The number of martyrs at the girls' school in Minab has increased to 85," the judiciary's Mizan Online website quoted the area's prosecutor's office as saying.

Iraq's powerful pro-Iran group Kataeb Hezbollah warned Saturday it will start imminent attacks on U.S. bases after air strikes hit an Iraqi military base housing the group.

"We will soon begin attacking American bases in response to their aggression," the group said in a statement.
