The late Ayatollah Khamenei
By agency reports
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in today’s massive U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, according to Israeli sources.
The news comes shortly after Iran claimed that its leaders were “safe and sound.”
Israel confirmed that Khamenei was killed in strikes on Saturday, according to two Israeli sources familiar with the matter.
One of the sources said Israel had obtained a photo of Khamenei’s dead body.
The second source said an official announcement is being prepared.
Credible British news agency, Reuters, also confirmed Khamenei’s death, quoting two impeccable unnamed sources.
Earlier in the evening, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there are many signs that Khamenei is “no longer with us.”
Meanwhile, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman said that Iran’s president and Supreme Leader are “safe and sound.”
But Khamenei has not been seen in public or in videos since the strikes began.
