Iran Leader Khamenei Reportedly Killed in US Strikes
Multiple reports indicate that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been killed in U.S.-Israeli strikes, a development hailed by President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu as a significant step toward regime change. The U.S.-Israeli military operation, code-named “Epic Fury,” targeted high-level Iranian officials, including Khamenei and President Pezeshkian. While initial reports offered signs of Khamenei’s death, Israeli officials later confirmed his demise with photographic evidence and intelligence shared with U.S. counterparts. The reported killing of the 86-year-old leader, who had ruled for 36 years, leaves a critical leadership void and, according to U.S. intelligence assessments, will likely result in a hardline replacement from the Revolutionary Guards.
