Trump Says Ayatollah Khamenei Killed In Iran Strikes

Donald Trump has announced the U.S./Israeli attacks on Iran have resulted in killing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the nation’s leader for nearly 37 years.

The news of his death could have massive implications not only for Iran but for the entire Middle East.

More from the New York Times:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel had said earlier that there were “many indications” that Ayatollah Khamenei was dead, but stopped short of making a definitive statement.

Israeli officials said several of Iran’s most senior military leaders had also been killed, including Gen. Mohammad Pakpour, the chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the most powerful force in Iran; the defense minister, Gen. Aziz Nasrizadeh; and Ali Shamkhani, former head of the Iranian navy and a close adviser to Ayatollah Khamenei.

It was not immediately clear which country’s forces had killed Ayatollah Khamenei, but either way, the action exhibited a high degree of coordination between the United States and Israel.
