Iran’s state media has confirmed that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has been killed, after attacks across Iran by Israel and the US, which began on Saturday morning local time.
Reading a statement from Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, state TV outlets in Iran confirmed Khamenei’s death.
The confirmation came after US President Donald Trump said Khamenei had been killed and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Khamenei’s Tehran compound had been hit in “a powerful, surprise strike”.
