The Iranian regime has released a new 50-second video showing the destruction left by the blast as part of a six-day funeral for the 86-year-old, who ruled the Islamic Republic with an iron fist since 1989.<\/p>\n

The gutted interior of the compound is barely recognizable as a structure, the Feb. 28 missile strikes stripping it down to support beams and rebar.<\/p>\n

Deep piles of rubble cover the entire floor, draped with buckled ceiling supports and doors blown clean off the hinges in the building Khamenei once held meetings and delivered public sermons.<\/p>\n

President Trump said Wednesday that an interim cease-fire agreement signed with Iran hoping to lay the foundation to bring about the end of hostilities was \u201cover,\u201d and threatened more strikes as he called the country\u2019s leadership \u201cscum.\u201d<\/p>\n

The US resumed airstrikes against Iran this week, striking approximately 90 targets across the country in two days of attacks<\/p>\n
