BREAKING NEWS: Iran’s Supreme Leader Killed in Major U.S.–Israeli Attack

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been killed in a large-scale joint military strike carried out by the United States and Israel, according to Iranian state media and multiple international reports.

The attack targeted senior leadership compounds and strategic military sites in Tehran, marking one of the most significant escalations in Middle East tensions in decades. U.S. President Donald Trump announced Khamenei’s death shortly after the strikes, which Iranian authorities later confirmed.

Khamenei, who ruled Iran since 1989, was the country’s highest political and religious authority, overseeing military policy, foreign relations, and Iran’s nuclear strategy. His death has thrown the future of the Islamic Republic into uncertainty and raised fears of wider regional conflict.

Iran has vowed retaliation, while global leaders are calling for restraint as security alerts rise across the Middle East and international markets react to the rapidly developing crisis.
