Netanyahu says signs point to Khamenei's death after strikes on Iran

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there are increasing signs that Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is dead following strikes on Iran. Netanyahu described the operation, which he said involved the U.S. and Israel, as an effort to remove an existential threat and free Iranians from dictatorship.

A senior Israeli official separately claimed Khamenei had been killed. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, aligning with the U.S. and Israel, expressed hope for the fall of what he called the terrorist regime in Tehran.
