BREAKING: Israeli Channel 12 claims that documentation of Khamenei’s body was presented to Netanyahu.

Still no confirmation from Iran.

Israeli Defense Minister Katz:

Israel did not wait for the moment when the threat would be realized. We acted to prevent an extremist and murderous regime from possessing capabilities that endanger Israel and the entire world.

Anyone who threatens to destroy Israel will not receive immunity. Every element of the Iranian regime is a target. Any of our enemies who tries to intervene will pay a very heavy price.

Senior Israeli official to Reuters:

Khamenei is dead and his body has been found.

U.S. official to Reuters:

The U.S. offered to provide Iran with free nuclear fuel forever, but Iran insisted on keeping its own enrichment capability.

U.S. official to Reuters:

The U.S. had indicators that Iran had intended to strike preemptively, and Trump decided not to let U.S. forces absorb attacks from missiles.

If we sat back and waited to get hit first, the amount of casualties and damage would be substantially higher.

Khamenei’s Office:

At a time when the American-Zionist enemy has come under heavy blows from the brave men of the armed forces, it has resorted to psychological warfare.

We must all be vigilant against the enemy’s psychological warfare.

A Turkish ship, “Bogazici,” changed its AIS signal in the Strait of Hormuz to “MUSLIMS VSL TURKISH,” apparently signaling to the IRGC:

“We are a Muslim Turkish vessel — do not fire.”

Meanwhile, JD Vance and Tulsi Gabbard joined virtually.

NEW: Trump said the U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran is going “very well,” telling ABC News it has caused significant damage.

On how long the strikes could last, Trump said, “As long as we wanted to, actually,” adding that Iran is “incapacitated, essentially.”

Asked whether Iranian leaders were killed, Trump said, “A lot of it is, yeah… Was a very powerful strike,” and added the U.S. has “a very good idea” who the next leadership would be.

CNN:

Israel has obtained a photo of Khamenei’s body, and an official announcement is being prepared.

Iran, however, says its leadership is “safe and sound.”

IDF:

The Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Iran’s Defense Minister, and other senior officials have been killed.

A U.S. official told Fox News that the U.S. agrees with Israel’s assessment that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and 5–10 other top Iranian leaders were killed in an initial Israeli strike on a compound in Tehran.

Officials said the timeline was accelerated due to intelligence about a “target of opportunity,” prompting a rare daytime strike to catch the leadership off guard.

No confirmation from Iran.

IDF Spokesperson:

Do not film the areas targeted by missiles from Iran.

Diane Sare:

The reason why members of our Congress were prepared to countenance slaughter of children in Gaza was because many of them were pedophiles.

BREAKING: In an interview with NBC News, Trump said he believes reports that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in airstrikes are accurate.

He added that “most” of Iran’s senior leadership is “gone,” saying, “The people that make all the decisions, most of them are gone.”

Trump on Iran:

We’ve inflicted tremendous damage. It would take them years to rebuild.

Asked who would replace Iran’s Supreme Leader, Trump said, “I don’t know, but at some point they’ll be calling me to ask who I’d like,” adding, “I’m only being a little sarcastic when I say that.”
