Ayatollah Ali Khamenei assassinated
Who has sent tto images of the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei after his assassination to Israel and the United States. On Saturday night, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu claimed the killing of the Iranian supreme leader.
He claimed this after he and Donald Trump saw images of Khamenei after his assassination in the US-Israel bombing of the bunker where Khamenei and his close associates were staying. Iranian officials have launched a probe to identify the culprits who not only disclosed the location of Khamenei and his image after he had died in the multiple bombings. On Saturday night, no one believed Netanyahu’s claim of Khamenei’s death.
However, on Sunday morning, Iranian media announced the tragic news of the martyrdom of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Netanyahu said that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has been martyred in joint strikes carried out by the United States and Israel, according to Iranian state media. The announcement was made on Sunday and quickly spread across regional and international news platforms.
State-affiliated outlets reported that the strikes targeted key locations linked to Iran’s leadership. The reports described the attack as deliberate and coordinated. Officials used the term “martyrdom” to describe Khamenei’s death.
The news was first confirmed by major Iranian agencies, including Tasnim News Agency and Fars News Agency. Both outlets stated that the Supreme Leader died as a result of direct military action.
Netanyahu claims killing of Khamenei
Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu claimed the killing of the Iranian supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, on Saturday night, in the US-Israeli strikes in Iran this morning. Iranian foreign minister, nonetheless, said all the leaders of Iran are alive. On Sunday morning, Iranian officials announced the martyrdom of their Supreme Leader.
Meanwhile, The Times of Israel claimed Saturday night that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had been killed in the airstrikes this morning.
On Saturday morning, the United States launched large-scale military strikes on Iran, with President Donald Trump announcing the start of “major combat operations” early Sunday. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that US-Israeli strikes killed Iran’s supreme leader, though independent confirmation remains unavailable. The US and Israel bombed the residence/office of Khamenei multiple times that led to the martyrdom of the Iranian supreme leader.
In addition, Iranian media reported widespread casualties, citing the Red Crescent. According to preliminary figures, at least 201 people have died across 24 provinces following coordinated missile and air attacks. Multiple explosions rocked Tehran, while blasts were also reported in several other cities, indicating a broad and sustained offensive.
Iran retaliates as airspace closures spread across region
However, Iran responded swiftly, launching retaliatory strikes against Israeli and US-linked targets across the Middle East. Reports suggest Iranian missiles or drones struck or targeted sites in Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Iraq, underscoring the conflict’s rapid regional expansion.
Furthermore, state media in Iran said a strike on a school in the country’s south killed more than 80 people, raising concerns over civilian casualties. Authorities have not yet provided independent verification, but images circulating online show extensive damage and emergency response activity.
As tensions surged, several countries across the Middle East closed their airspace as a precaution. Airlines began rerouting flights, while governments urged citizens to remain vigilant amid fears of further escalation.
Overall, the fast-moving developments signal one of the most dangerous confrontations between Iran, Israel and the United States in recent years, with global leaders closely monitoring the situation and urging restraint.
