Iran’s supreme leader calls for Muslim unity against US and Israel, and other Mideast news | National

Iran’s supreme leader called on Muslim countries to stand together against Israel and the United States, imploring them to “know your real enemy.” A monitor says a tanker vessel was struck in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday.

Israel’s Shin Bet said it had evacuated the prime minister’s oldest son from the U.S. following a threat. And an Israeli airstrike in Gaza killed at least two Palestinians, including a 3-year-old, authorities said.
