Israel’s Netanyahu Says Many Signs That Khamenei ‘Is No Longer’

JERUSALEM, February 28 (Reuters) – There are many signs that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei may have been killed in Israeli-US attacks in Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday.

“This morning we destroyed the compound of the tyrant Khamenei,” Netanyahu said in the video statement, adding that for more than 30 years, Khamenei had “distributed terror around the world, devastated his own people, and worked constantly and tirelessly on his program to destroy the state of Israel.”

Netanyahu said, “There are many signs that this tyrant is no more. This morning we eliminated senior officials in the Ayatollah regime, Revolutionary Guard commanders, senior figures in the nuclear program, and we will continue. We will hit thousands more targets of the terrorist regime in the next few days.”
