Iran Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Killed Along with 40 Top Iranian Leaders

Israel has confirmed that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed during strikes carried out on Saturday, according to two Israeli sources familiar with the matter.

One source said Israeli officials have obtained a photograph allegedly showing Khamenei’s body. A second source indicated that preparations are underway for an official public announcement.

Earlier in the evening, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there were “many signs” suggesting that Khamenei is “no longer with us,” though he stopped short of formally declaring the Iranian leader dead.

Iran has strongly denied the claims. A spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry stated that both the country’s president and Supreme Leader are “safe and sound.” However, Khamenei has not appeared in public or released any video statements since the strikes began, fueling speculation about his condition.
