The reports came after large-scale strikes carried out by Israel and the United States targeted multiple locations in Iran, including areas around Khamenei’s compound.

Israeli media outlets have reported that the body of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has been recovered following alleged Israeli-US strikes, even as Tehran has not confirmed his death.

According to Israel’s Channel 12, a photograph of Khamenei’s body was shown to US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The report cited unnamed Israeli officials.

Public broadcaster Kan also reported that senior Israeli officials had been informed of Khamenei’s “elimination" and that his body was recovered from the rubble of his compound in Tehran.
