Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu says there are “growing signs” that Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is “gone” after US and Israeli strikes
Satellite images earlier showed damage to Khamenei’s compound in Tehran – unconfirmed reports in Israel and the US say he was killed.
When asked about those reports, Donald Trump reportedly tells NBC News: “I have spoken to a lot of people, we feel that is a correct story”
The US and Israel launched attacks across the country – Israel says “several senior figures” from the Iran regime have been “eliminated”
In response, Iran has launched attacks throughout the Middle East. Apparent Iranian strikes have been reported in Dubai, Doha, Bahrain, and Kuwait – places with US military bases, or that are allied to the US.
Donald Trump said earlier that “major combat operations” were under way, and urged Iranians to “take over” the government.
New explosions were reported across Iran on Saturday evening, and Israel says its air force “continues to operate” in the country. More than 200 people have been killed across Iran, the Red Crescent says
