More information about the fate of Iran's supreme leader has appeared in several publications, with no official announcement related to the fate of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei yet at this time.
Iran's supreme leader “was killed” in the attack launched by the US and Israel on Iran, an Israeli official told Reuters. According to him, Khamenei's body has been located.
At the same time, an American official told Fox News that the United States also believes that Iran's supreme leader has been killed.
Likewise, an Iranian opposition publication announced the death of Iran's supreme leader, without providing further details.
Asked if Iranian leader dead, Donald Trump said: “We think the information is correct”
The information related to the death of the supreme leader appeared after the Israeli prime minister said, in a message in which he also launched an appeal to the Iranian people, that “there are increasingly clear signs that the dictator is gone.”
So far, Tehran has not confirmed his death. He announced today that he “is safe and unharmed”.
War in the Middle East after the US and Israel attacked Iran
The United States and Israel launched a coordinated attack on Iran on Saturday morning. In a speech, Donald Trump announced that they were “major combat operations” and hinted at the objective: regime change in Tehran.
Before long, however, the war in Iran spread to the region. Tehran has launched retaliatory attacks on Israel and US military forces at bases in the Middle East.
Officials from the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain announced that they were the target of Iranian attacks. Repeated explosions were also heard in Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan and even in Riyadh – Saudi Arabia.
According to AFP, Iran has launched attacks on all countries in the oil-rich Persian Gulf region, with the exception of Oman, which was a mediator in the talks between Washington and Tehran.
