                <media:description>TOPSHOT - Smoke rises from the site of a US-Israeli strike on the Iranian capital Tehran on April 7, 2026. UN chief Antonio Guterres expressed alarm on April 7, 2026, at the US president&apos;s dire warning that &quot;a whole civilization will die&quot; in Iran if the country does not meet an ultimatum to accept US war demands. On February 28, Israel and the United States launched strikes on Iran, killing its supreme leader and triggering a war that spread across the Middle East.
