Iran-Israel War News Today Live Updates: The United States has claimed that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in coordinated US-Israeli airstrikes on Tehran, though Iranian state media has denied the reports as “mental warfare” and “Zionist fabrications.” No live footage of Khamenei or President Masoud Pezeshkian has been aired since the strikes.
US President Donald Trump called the killing “justice,” saying the operation, conducted with Israel, targeted senior leaders using advanced intelligence systems. Exiled crown prince Reza Pahlavi urged Iranians to unite for a “stable transition,” calling any regime succession effort “doomed to fail.”
At an emergency UN Security Council meeting, Secretary-General António Guterres warned of wider conflict and said the strikes violated international law. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the attack as a “pre-emptive strike” against an irreversible threat.
While celebrations were reported in parts of Tehran, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched retaliatory attacks on US bases across the Gulf under “Operation Truthful Promise 4,” raising fears of regional escalation. Follow for Live Updates.
