Trump says Iran’s supreme leader Khamenei is dead, urges Iranians to ‘take back’ their country
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump confirmed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed after a joint U.S.-Israeli aerial bombardment across Tehran.
- The operation was planned for months with U.S. coordination, following unsuccessful nuclear talks on Thursday amid rising tensions as American warships moved into the region.
- Israel said it killed the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and the defense minister of Iran, targeting three locations in Tehran near Khamenei's offices.
- Iran retaliated by firing missiles and drones toward Israel and U.S. military bases, with exchanges continuing into the night; Iranian state media reported at least 201 killed, including 85 at a girls' school in southern Iran.
- The assassination would throw Iran's future into doubt as the U.N. Security Council met Saturday while the International Atomic Energy Agency saw no radiological impact and Iran requested an urgent Board session.
