Israel Says Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei Has Been Killed in US-Israeli Strikes
- On Saturday, U.S. and Israeli forces launched a major attack on Iran, and Israeli officials told The Associated Press that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead.
- Months of rising tensions, including American warships moving into the region, preceded the strikes, which followed the unsuccessful latest round of nuclear talks on Thursday.
- Air Force pilots struck hundreds of targets across Iran, including Revolutionary Guard command facilities, air defenses, missile and drone launch sites, and members of Iran's leadership; satellite imagery showed Khamenei's presidential compound flattened.
- Iran retaliated by launching missiles and drones targeting Israel and U.S. military installations, flights across the Middle East were disrupted, and Iranian state media said at least 201 were killed and more than 700 injured.
- Khamenei's reported death raises uncertainty as the CIA assesses he will most likely be replaced by hardline figures from Iran's Revolutionary Guards, and the strikes could affect global markets if the Strait of Hormuz becomes unsafe.
