From ABC News world headquarters in New York, this is WORLD News Tonight.

Thanks so much for joining us on this Sunday.

We begin tonight with breaking news and a sobering reminder of the human cost of war.

Another US Service member has died after being wounded in last week's attack in Saudi Arabia.

This is a defiant Iran has named a new supreme leader just one week after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the early hours of the war.

And just moments ago, state Media announced his 56 year old son has been named his successor.

But President Trump told ABC News before that announcement that Iran's next leader, quote, is not going to last long.

Israel is also echoing similar sentiments.

And massive fires are raging across Tehran after Israeli strikes target oil refineries.

We have team coverage once again tonight.

ABC's chief international correspondent James Longman leads us off from Iraq tonight.

Another American service member has died in the war against Iran.

CENTCOM announcing that an American wounded in an Iranian strike on a base in Saudi Arabia a week ago passed away from their injuries last night.

The news coming a day after President Trump attended the dignified transfer of the first American casualties.

Six soldiers killed in the early hours of the U.S. israeli offensive at their base in Kuwait.

President Trump yesterday signaled that more U.S. personnel might make the ultimate sacrifice.

They're great heroes in our country and we're going to keep it that way.

There's always, when it comes to war, there's always that.

But we're going to keep it to a minimum, I think.

And just over a week since the killing of Ayatollah Khamenei, Iran is tonight reportedly naming his successor.

Iranian state TV says his son Mushtaba Khamenei has been named.

Israel says whoever is chosen will automatically become a target.

And Khamenei is expected to follow the hard line of his father, meaning his election may not change the trajectory of this war.

Israel is now targeting energy infrastructure.

This huge attack today on an oil depot in Tehran sent poisonous fumes into the air for miles around.

Residents were warned to protect themselves against toxic fumes.

Israel calls this a terrorist target, but civilians will feel the cost of this, too.

Iran says well over 1,000 people have been killed so far, including 190 children and 198 women.

Tonight, Centcom is issuing a warning to Iranian civilians saying Tehran positions military targets in built up areas.

With the Internet blocked inside Iran, civilian voices are difficult to hear.

But ABC has made contact with some like Hamid, who tells us honestly hope is difficult to find.

The truly frightening possibility is that the United States might suddenly leave the Iranian people alone with these rulers.

Israel's offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon is widening too.

Lebanese authorities say more than 400 people are now dead, 83 of them children, 42 women.

Hundreds of thousands have been displaced.

And despite US and Israeli assurances that Tehran's missile and drone stock is depleted, the regime is still able to lash out at targets across this region.

A desalination plant in Bahrain hit in a drone attack and this government office building in Kuwait City ablaze.

And James, just before we came on the air, we learned that Iran had chosen a successor to the supreme leader who was killed at the start of the war.

He is the 56 year old second son of the former ayatollah.

He is, of course, also a cleric, is considered to have been close to his father, often seen alongside him at public events, also close to the brutal religious militia the Basij and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.

And Donald Trump has said that most of Khamenei would be unacceptable to him as supreme leader.

James Longman in Iraq for us again tonight.

And as you heard from James, our chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce spoke with President Trump earlier today before we learned about the death of another US Service member, but

Mary, tell us more about that conversation.

And Lindsey, I asked the president if witnessing those dignified transfers of six of the Americans killed in this war gave him any pause about this operation.

But the president was steadfast telling me, quote, no, not at all.

In fact, he said that the parents of the fallen who he met with yesterday would be upset if he did that, adding that they all told him to, quote, please win this for my child.

I also asked the president about those reports, reports that the Iranians are getting close to naming their next supreme leader.

And Trump told me that any new Iranian leader, whomever it is, has to be someone that he personally approves of.

And that, quote, if he doesn't get approval from us, he's not going to last long.

I asked the president if he would be willing to work with someone who has ties to the regime.

And he told me, quote, I would in order to choose a good leader.

And he said there are many people who would qualify.

Mary Bruce from the White House, thank you.

The war is renewing fears about Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium.

President Trump now says he will not rule out sending US special forces to secure it.

Here's ABC's chief global affairs anchor Martha Ranitz reporting from Jerusalem tonight.

Tonight, with the war with Iran now in its second week, President Trump considering sending in U.S.
