Israel Says Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei Has Been Killed in US-Israeli Strikes
- On February 28, 2026, Israel and the United States launched coordinated strikes on Iran, and Israeli officials told The Associated Press that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed.
- The unsuccessful latest round of nuclear talks prompted rising tensions as American warships moved into the region and months-long planning between Israel and the United States took place.
- Strikes targeted Revolutionary Guard command facilities, air-defence systems, missile and drone launch sites, and military airfields, while Iranian state media cited the Red Crescent reporting at least 201 killed and more than 700 injured.
- Iran retaliated by firing missiles and drones toward Israel and U.S. military bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar, while the U.N. Security Council said it would meet Saturday and Iran requested an urgent IAEA Board session.
- Analysts cautioned regime change is not guaranteed despite months of weakening strikes on Iran's military and warned the strikes could threaten global markets and the Strait of Hormuz, which carried a third of worldwide oil exports in 2025.
