Good morning. There are many unknowns about what will come next for Iran, and much of the Middle East. For now, we take a look at the attacks this weekend and the fallout so far. Let’s get to it.

The latest: U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran continued for a third day today after the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a cleric who long seemed to preside not just over Iran but half of the Middle East. Oil and gas leaped and stocks slumped as the war intensified.

Context: Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in a major attack by Israel and the United States, Iranian state media confirmed, raising the risk of regional instability. Three men have been appointed to an interim leadership council while religious leaders choose who will succeed Khamenei.

What’s next: The U.S. President’s explicit goal of regime change marks another move away from his previous non-interventionism and toward an aggressive foreign policy. Donald Trump is vowing to keep hitting Iran with air strikes, even as he holds out the possibility of returning to the bargaining table with Tehran.

At home: Prime Minister Mark Carney is backing the strikes on Iran but won’t contribute militarily. Across the country, many Canadians with Iranian roots hope that this foreign military intervention will be enough to weaken a violent and oppressive dictatorship.

Abroad: U.S. bases in surrounding regions have become targets of Iran, but in the UAE, most expats say they’re not leaving. Airlines have cancelled some Middle East flights and disrupted air travel in the region and beyond. Meanwhile, China faces the loss of another ally.

Analysis: Which regime? What change? Iran’s complexity means there are no magic bullets, writes Doug Saunders.

The latest on the ground: On the weekend while visiting Mumbai and Delhi, Prime Minister Mark Carney secured a $2.6-billion deal to supply Canadian uranium to India and launched talks on a comprehensive trade deal with New Delhi. In an effort to double non-U.S. trade, Canada is trying to mend relations with India after a two-way diplomatic freeze of more than two years. Canadian universities also signed partnerships during the visit.

The latest from The Globe: Canadian national security officials were presented with evidence that Indian consular staff operating in Vancouver supplied information to assist in the 2023 assassination of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, two sources told The Globe and Mail. Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand declined to comment today on the Globe report.

What’s next: The Prime Minister said Canada’s capacity to export liquefied natural gas to Asia is expected to increase by more than 50 million tonnes in the coming years. Carney will next travel to visit counterparts in Australia and Japan. He will return March 7.
