- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says there are “growing signs” that Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei is “gone” after US-Israel strikes Saturday.
- Khamenei’s fate remained unclear hours after the US and Israel bombed his compound in Tehran in joint strikes in response to Iran’s refusal to dismantle its nuclear program.
- A senior Israeli official told Reuters that Khamenei was dead, and the Iranian Supreme Leader's office responded swiftly by accusing the country's enemies of "mental warfare.”
- A spokesman for Iran’s foreign ministry claimed earlier in the day that Khamenei and president Masoud Pezeshkian were both “safe and sound” after the strikes.
- The US launched a “major combat operation” overnight, President Donald Trump announced Saturday. The Israeli military later confirmed that 200 warplanes were involved in attacking Iran.
