Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei DEAD Confirmed!!

 

A senior Israeli official reports that the body of Supreme Leader Khamenei was found and removed from the ruins of the compound where he had been staying.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei “is no more,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says in a video statement to the Israeli public.

He says that this morning Israel eliminated IRGC commanders, senior Iranian regime officials, senior nuclear officials, and that in the coming days, “we will hit thousands of targets of the terror regime.”

He says that Israel will create the conditions for the Iranian people to “free itself from the chains of dictatorship.”

The operation against Iran “will continue as long as is necessary,” says Netanyahu, “and stamina is necessary.”

He thanks US President Donald Trump for his “historic leadership.”

“He is a leader who keeps his word,” says Netanyahu.

The premier says the operation will “lead to peace, true peace.”

Netanyahu says Israel went to war to “fundamentally change” the situation in which Iran was on its way to a nuclear weapon that would enable it to drastically increase its threats against its neighbors.

Women laughing on a rooftop in Tehran: “They hit the Supreme Leader compound.”

 



 A wild video shows the moment US and Israeli missiles rained down on Iran Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s compound — while a witness laughed in apparent disbelief.

The footage shows thick smoke billowing from the fortified complex, which, along with military infrastructure, was targeted in what the State Department called “Operation Epic Fury.”

Upon the realization, a woman can be heard laughing, seemingly stunned at the sight.

“Oh my God, they hit it. They struck it. Oh my God!” the woman says.

“They hit the Supreme Leader compound!”

At least seven missiles struck the area around Khamenei’s fortified complex in central Tehran, with additional strikes near the presidential palace.

The 86-year-old supreme leader was reportedly not in the compound — or in Tehran — when the strikes were launched and has since been moved to an undisclosed secure location.

Airstrikes were also reported in other enclaves, including Isfahan, Qom, Karaj and Kermanshah, but the full extent of the attack was not yet clear early Saturday.

Iran responded with a series of retaliatory attacks across in Bahrain, one of which struck a US Navy base.

The US and Israel joint strike came Saturday morning in response to the regime’s refusal to dismantle its nuclear program after weeks of negotiations.

Operation Epic Fury’s objective was to “defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime,” President Trump said Saturday.

Trump also called upon the Iranian citizens to overthrow the “violent” regime.

The president had given the Iranian officials a 10-15 day deadline to reach an agreement on a nuclear deal on Feb. 19, asserting the regime would face “really bad things” if it didn’t. 

Trump insisted he would not accept a deal that would allow Iran to continue to enrich uranium out of fears the regime is using it to build a nuclear weapon, but Tehran has claimed it was using the material for civilian purposes.

On Friday, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee urged US citizens to evacuate the embassy as soon as possible.

The US assault marks the first American-led strikes against the Islamic Republic since Operation Midnight Hammer last June, which targeted the Fordow Uranium Enrichment Plant, the Natanz Nuclear Facility and the Isfahan Nuclear Technology Center.

US and Israel launch major joint assault on Iran; Trump indicates goal is to topple regime


 After long weeks of escalating regional tensions and burgeoning threats of conflict, Israel and the US launched a major joint strike on Iran on Saturday morning, with waves of attacks on sites across the Islamic Republic continuing throughout the day.

Strikes targeted Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and President Masoud Pezeshkian, an Israeli official said. Other top regime and military commanders were also targeted, according to the official. The results of the strikes were not yet clear.

Targets in the campaign, which began shortly after 8 a.m. Israel time,  also included Iran’s military, symbols of government and intelligence targets, according to an official briefed on the operation, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss nonpublic information on the attack.

Shabbos Zachor a Shabbos to Remember.....as Israel estimates Khamenei eliminated

Israel and the US on Shabbos morning struck in Iran, attacking hundreds of targets, including senior Iranian officials.

Among the officials targeted are Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.

In addition to the heads of state, other senior figures were also targeted in the joint operation by the IDF and the US Army, including Iranian Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh, Iranian Chief of Staff Abdulrahim Mousawi, and Military Intelligence Chief Salah Asadi. According to Israeli estimates, IRGC commander Mohammad Fokhapour, who took office after June 2025's Operation Rising Lion, was killed in the Israeli strike.

Ali Shamkhani, the close advisor to the Ayatollahs' leader who survived an assassination attempt during Operation Rising Lion, was one of the targets of the strikes in Iran. His condition is unknown.

Israeli sources told Reuters that they believe a large number of Iranian officials were killed in the attacks.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in an interview with NBC that his country may have "lost a few commanders" in the Israeli strikes, but he claimed: "This is not a big problem." According to him, the number of senior casualties in Iran is "one or two," and "most officials are healthy and safe." Araghchi noted that "as far as he knows," Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was not killed, despite cautious optimism expressed by Israeli officials that the assassination was successful.

IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir spoke with the Air Force commander and pilots during the opening strike against Iran on Saturday morning, telling them: "At dawn on Saturday, Operation 'Lion's Roar' is underway. You are authorized to execute, hit your targets - you are making history. I trust you, and wish all of us success."
