10:53Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump said Saturday that Iran Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is dead, following joint US-Israeli strikes, calling it “not only Justice for the people of Iran, but for all Great Americans.” “This is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their Country,” he wrote in a Truth Social Post.
Israel has confirmed that Iran’s supreme leader was killed in strikes on Saturday, according to two Israeli sources familiar with the matter. One of the sources said Israel had obtained a photo of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s dead body. The second source said an official announcement is being prepared.
Earlier in the evening, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there are many signs that Khamenei is “no longer with us.” Meanwhile, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman said that Iran’s president and Supreme Leader are “safe and sound.” But Khamenei has not been seen in public or in videos since the strikes began.
