Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, was killed, Iranian state media has confirmed, in the opening salvo of a war the US and Israel launched with the aim of regime change.
Khamenei had not been heard from since the strikes began, and satellite imagery showed that his secure compound was heavily damaged in the initial barrage on Saturday.
The confirmation came early on Sunday, hours after Donald Trump announced the death of the ayatollah, who has ruled Iran as supreme leader since 1989, in a post on Truth Social.Khamenei, one of the most evil people in history, is dead,” Trump wrote. “He was unable to avoid our intelligence and highly sophisticated tracking systems and, working closely with Israel, there was not a thing he, or the other leaders that have been killed along with him, could do.”

Trump said that the goal of the military campaign, which began on Saturday morning with a barrage of missiles and airstrikes, was regime change.

“This is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their Country,” he wrote.
“We are hearing that many of their IRGC [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps], Military, and other Security and Police Forces, no longer want to fight, and are looking for Immunity from us.”
Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, had earlier said there were “many signs” Khamenei was “no longer alive”, and Israeli officials briefed media that his body had been recovered.
Iranian media reported on Sunday that the daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter of Khamenei had also been killed in Saturday’s strikes. The semi-official Fars news agency, which has links to the IRGC, reported: “After establishing contact with informed sources in the supreme leader’s household, the news of the martyrdom of the daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter of the revolutionary leader has unfortunately been confirmed.”

One of crypto’s favorite 24/7 trading venues has become an unlikely hotspot for commodities and traditional asset classes this weekend, as traders scramble for round-the-clock hedges amid escalating tensions between the US, Israel and Iran.
Perpetual swap futures, a type of futures contract that does not expire, tied to oil jumped about 5% to $70.6 per barrel on crypto-exchange Hyperliquid, while those for gold and silver rose roughly 1.3% and 2% to $5,323 and $94.9 per troy ounce, respectively. The moves may offer some indication of how those markets could respond once mainstream trading resumes on Monday.#USIsraelStrikeIran

US will not back out of its tariff deals with UK and others, says Trump trade representative
Promise comes as minister admits to ‘uncertainty’ about new 15% levy on imports from around the world
Graeme Wearden: Trump’s trade war risks undermining his hopes of hefty US interest rate cutsThe US will not back out of tariff deals it has already sealed with countries around the world, including the UK, the EU, Japan, Switzerland and others, Donald Trump’s trade representative Jamieson Greer said on Sunday.The US supreme court ruled on Friday that many of the tariffs imposed by the US president were illegal, leading Trump to announce a new 15% global tariff on all imports the next day.But Greer told CBS’s Face the Nation that the new levy was separate from agreements struck in the last nine months with about 20 countries around the world.“We want them to understand these deals are going to be good deals,” Greer said. “We’re going to stand by them. We expect our partners to stand by them.”The UK education secretary, Bridget Phillipson, admitted on Sunday that UK businesses faced “uncertainty” after the latest developments, but told Sky News that the UK expected its “preferential” trade arrangements with the US to continue.Business leaders also said they expected the UK to “double down” on the existing deal announced by Trump and the UK prime minister, Keir Starmer, in May last year, rather than walk away.The EU said it “stands by its commitments” in the deal struck between Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission chief, and Trump in Scotland last July. The agreement was for a 15% import tariff on most EU goods – half the rate threatened by Trump at the time.The bloc is concerned that the deal would be overturned by Trump’s latest 15% levy, which, if imposed on top of existing tariffs, could lead to an even higher rate on many goods including wine and spirits.#JaneStreet10AMDump

Asia Takes Control of Bitcoin As US Watches From the Sidelines
Bitcoin just received a vote of confidence worth 2,205 BTC. As the market trades at $68,235, up 6.41% in the last 24 hours, accumulation whales have withdrawn from Binance more than three times the daily average of the last 30 days. The rally that took $BTC BTC from $63,000 to $68,000 now gains real backing: this isn't speculative buying, it's BTC leaving circulation. All of this happens after a -28.86% correction from $89,121, a drop fueled by selling whales that sent $8.74 billion in BTC to Binance over the same 30-day period. Who's behind the turnaround? Asia, with the Korea Premium at 2.06, setting the tone while the US watches from the sidelines.
THE NUMBERS THAT EXPLAIN THE MOMENT
◾Whale Flow → $8.74B (30d) → selling whales drove the price down from $89,121 to $63k.
◾Binance Netflow → -2,205 BTC today → buyers withdrew 3x the 30d average (+696 BTC), victorious accumulation.
◾Korea Premium → 2.06 → Koreans paying 2% above global price, voracious demand holding the market.
◾Coinbase Premium → -0.05 → Americans absent or selling, historical contrast.
◾ETFs → +$258 million → institutions buying even with hesitant retail.
◾Price → $68,235 | +6.41% (24h) | +8.3% from the bottom.
TIME OUT FOR CONTEXT
Bear markets also have rallies. The recovery from $63K to $68K, the outflow of 2,205 BTC, and the Korea Premium at 2.06 are signs that the market is reacting with localized strength. But technically, it is still in capitulation. So far, it's a impulse, not a reversal — for now.
CONCLUSION
Selling whales sent $8.74 billion to Binance to drive the price from $89,121 down to $63,000. Global buyers absorbed it all and are now withdrawing 2,205 BTC. Asia leads, the US hesitates, and Bitcoin rises with real backing. If Americans step in, brace yourself.#JaneStreet10AMDump
