After Trump, Iran Confirms Ayatollah Khamenei Killed In Strikes
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been killed, Iran's state media confirmed, after the United States and Israel launched the most ambitious attack on Iranian targets in decades. It comes after the US and Israel said Khamenei was killed following a barrage of joint US-Israeli strikes on Tehran.
“The Supreme Leader of Iran Has Reached Martyrdom,” state broadcaster IRIB reported on Sunday morning.
Media reports said the 86-year-old leader was killed in his office in the early hours of Saturday. His death at his office “showed that he consistently stood among the people and at the forefront of his responsibilities, confronting what officials call global arrogance", state TV said.
