The U.S. and Israel launched the most ambitious attack on Iran in decades, and Israel said Khamenei had been killed in the operation. A senior Israeli official told Reuters the Supreme Leader's body had been found. Iranian state media cited a source close to Khamenei's office as saying: "I can tell you with confidence that the leader of the revolution is steadfast and firm in commanding the field." Asked on NBC news about reports of Khamenei's death, Trump said: "We feel that that is a correct story."
