Iranian state media on Sunday confirmed the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, just a day after both U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli officials publicly claimed he had been killed in a targeted strike, assertions that Tehran had initially denied.
In an official broadcast, Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) confirmed Khamenei's death, stating he was killed in what it described as a "Zionist-American act of aggression." The announcement marked a dramatic reversal from earlier denials issued by Iranian authorities following statements from Washington and Jerusalem.
