Iran’s state media has **officially confirmed that Supreme Leader **Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead. This announcement follows reported joint U.S. and Israeli airstrikes that hit targets inside Iran, including locations in Tehran. Iranian state TV declared a 40-day period of national mourning across the country after confirming his death.
The confirmation marks a historic turning point for Iran’s political system. Khamenei had led the Islamic Republic since 1989 and was central to its domestic and foreign policy.
U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli leaders had earlier said he was killed in the strikes — statements now backed by Tehran’s broadcast announcement.
The situation has rapidly escalated tensions in the Middle East, with reports of retaliatory missile and drone strikes, broader regional instability, and global diplomatic reactions.
Iran’s leadership is entering a period of transition and uncertainty, with implications for regional politics, internal security, and international relations.
