Iranian state media have confirmed the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a major attack by Israel and the United States. The reports early Sunday threw the future of the Islamic Republic into doubt and raised the risk of regional instability. President Donald Trump announced the death hours earlier, saying it gave Iranians their “greatest chance” to “take back” their country. State television and the state-run IRNA news agency did not report a cause of death for the 86-year-old. The attack opened a stunning new chapter in U.S. intervention in Iran, carried the potential for retaliatory violence and a wider war, and represented a startling flex of military might.
