The U.S. and Israel are carrying out a two-part strategy against Iran that has reportedly resulted in the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
President Donald Trump outlined his plan for regime change early Saturday, calling on the Iranian people to overthrow their government once bombs stop falling.
“Israel has reportedly focused on decapitation strikes and military targets, while the United States has focused mostly on military targets,” the Institute for the Study of War posted on X.
ISW also cited reports that the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Iran’s defense minister, intelligence chief, and defense council secretary were killed.
Meanwhile, Axios reported that Khamenei was killed in an Israeli strike, with an official saying his body was recovered from his destroyed compound.
