US and Israel Launch Airstrikes Against Iran, Killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei

Tensions between Iran and Israel have reached their peak. On Saturday, the US and Israel launched massive airstrikes on Iran, killing Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Tehran. Iranian state media confirmed his death on Sunday. On Sunday, a red flag was raised over the dome of the famous Jamkaran Mosque in the city of Qom, which in Shiite tradition symbolizes justice, vengeance, and anger. Iranian media called it a sign of revenge for Khamenei's blood. Khamenei was Iran's supreme religious and political leader for the past several decades. US President Donald Trump described Khamenei as one of the most wicked people in history and said it was the greatest opportunity for the Iranian people to take back their country. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also commented on Khamenei's death, calling on Iranians to uproot slavery. Among these, Iran's senior military officials and former Israeli military advisors also responded to Tehran's response.
