Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in joint strikes on Iran, an Israeli source confirmed to USA TODAY.
Reuters and CNN also reported that Khamenei had been killed during the U.S. and Israel joint operation on Feb. 28.
"We feel that that is a correct story," President Donald Trump told NBC News about the reports of Khamenei's death.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry, however, has continued to insist that Khamenei and President Masoud Pezeshkian are “safe and sound.”
Khamenei, 86, had led Iran since 1989. He previously served as the president from 1981 to 1989. He was a close ally of Iran's first supreme leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who led the country's 1979 revolution that overthrew the government and founded Iran's Islamic Republic.
