Khamenei has been killed

Numerous media outlets report claims by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and some unnamed Israeli officials suggesting that Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei may have been killed in recent strikes. However, these claims are based on unconfirmed intelligence and speculative "signs" rather than verified evidence. Iranian officials and other sources have denied Khamenei's death, with some Iranian ministers stating he is alive "as far as I know." None of the sources provide concrete proof or official confirmation from Iran or internationally recognized trusted agencies. The claim largely stems from political statements amid ongoing conflict, making it premature and unsubstantiated. Given the lack of credible confirmation and official denials, the claim that Khamenei has been killed is false at this time.
