Tehran — Conflicting reports have
emerged over the fate of Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader, after
international news agency Reuters cited Israeli media claims that he has been
killed and his body recovered.
According to Reuters, which
referenced Israeli media sources, reports circulating late Saturday alleged
that Khamenei was killed and that his body had been found. The claims
reportedly originated from Israeli outlets amid heightened regional tensions.
However, as of the time of filing
this report, there has been no official confirmation from Iranian authorities.
Tehran has not issued a formal statement verifying the claims, and Iranian
state media have not independently confirmed his death.
The development, if verified,
would mark a seismic shift in Middle East geopolitics. Khamenei, who has served
as Iran’s Supreme Leader since 1989, is the highest-ranking political and
religious authority in the country, wielding ultimate control over state
matters including the military, judiciary, and foreign policy.
Given the gravity of the claims,
analysts are urging caution until independent verification is provided by
Iranian officials or additional credible international sources.
This remains a developing story.
Updates will follow as more verified information becomes available.
