Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei killed in airstrikes Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader since 1989, has been killed in coordinated US and Israeli airstrikes, according to Iranian state media. His death marks a significant turning point for the Islamic Republic and raises critical questions about regional stability and succession. Khamenei had led Iran for over three decades following the 1979 Islamic Revolution founder Ruhollah Khomeini. The killing has triggered international reactions and sharp warnings of retaliation from Tehran, intensifying Middle Eastern tensions. Iran's Assembly of Experts will now face the constitutional responsibility of selecting a new Supreme Leader, a process that could reshape the nation's political and religious direction.
