Conflicting reports emerge about the status of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei

President Donald Trump and a senior Israeli official stated that Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed during strikes. The White House reportedly confirmed the death.

Iran's foreign minister responded by saying Khamenei is alive 'as far as I know.' Some reports indicate Khamenei had a succession plan in place, and some Iranians were seen celebrating the strikes that reportedly targeted his palace.
