Israel’s Netanyahu says ‘signs’ point to Khamenei being dead

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there are “more and more signs” that Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been eliminated following recent strikes. He indicated that the indicators point to Khamenei’s death, though officials have not independently confirmed the claim. The remarks came amid heightened tensions and ongoing military actions involving the United States and Israel against targets in Tehran.
