Khamenei 'dead' LATEST: Iran leader 'dead' and 'body found' - Israeli source claims

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is "almost certainly dead", Channel 12 in Israel reports citing a source, following a huge Israeli-US strike on his residence in Tehran.

Iranian state media has denied reports that the dictator is dead, adding that Khamenei is safe and sound.

An Israeli source told Reuters that Khamenei is not only dead, but his body "has been found."

But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also hinted Khamenei could have been killed, saying: "The plan to destroy Israel no longer exists, and there is a high likelihood that the tyrant Khamenei does not either."

The US and Israel launched strikes across Iran, with Donald Trump calling on the people of Iran to overthrow the government.
