Israel has announced the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Saturday’s airstrikes

According to Reuters, Israeli officials confirmed the death of the Iranian leader.

Also, Israel’s Prime Minister says there are “growing signs” that Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is “gone” after US and Israeli strikes.

However, Iran’s semi-official Tasnim and Mehr news agencies are reporting that the country’s Supreme Leader Khamenei is “steadfast and firm in commanding the field”.

Also, Iran Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei earlier said on ABC News that both Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Masoud Pezeshkian are “safe and sound”.

The head of public relations at the office of Khamenei, Seyyed Mehrdad Seyyed Mahdi, says that “the enemy has resorted to psychological warfare. We should all be careful about it”, the semi-official ISNA news agency reports.

The US and Israel on Saturday launched attacks across the country – Israel says “several senior figures” from the Iran regime have been “eliminated.”

The Iranian judiciary said one strike that hit a school in the south killed 108 people

In response, Iran has launched attacks throughout the Middle East. Apparent Iranian strikes have been reported in Dubai, Doha, Bahrain, and Kuwait – places with US military bases, or that are allied to the US

U.S. President Donald Trump said earlier that “major combat operations” were under way, and urged Iranians to “take over” the government.
