Iran's Supreme Leader Dies at 86 Following Strike Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has died at the age of eighty-six, according to confirmation from state media sources. The death comes after a significant military strike attributed to United States and Israeli forces. Khamenei, who had led Iran since nineteen eighty-nine following the Islamic Revolution, maintained an active presence on social media platforms throughout his tenure. His final Twitter post, shared before his death, contained a prayer and referenced a Quranic verse emphasizing faith and sacrifice. The post also made mention of Imam Ali, the first Shia Imam and a central figure in Islamic theology. This last message reflects the religious and spiritual themes that characterized much of Khamenei's public communications.
