According to reports, the Israeli military conducted coordinated strikes in Tehran, Iran, on Saturday, killing dozens of high-ranking Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The IDF stated the strikes targeted locations where senior members of the Iranian defense establishment were meeting. Among those reportedly killed were key figures in Iran's security and military apparatus, including Ali Shamkhani, Mohammad Pakpour, and several individuals involved in Iran's nuclear and weapons programs. Former U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed Khamenei's death and praised the operation. The strikes, described as a "decapitation operation," were reportedly expedited due to a "target of opportunity" and were enabled by Israeli intelligence infiltration.
