A senior Israeli official has claimed that the body of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been found. According to the official, who spoke to Reuters, Khamenei was killed on Saturday, February 28, during a joint military strike carried out by the United States and Israel, and his body has since been recovered.

In contrast, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told NBC that nearly all Iranian officials are alive, healthy, and in safe locations. The conflicting statements have created uncertainty over the actual situation in Iran following the reported attack.

The report also mentioned that an Israeli military spokesperson claimed seven senior Iranian officials were killed, while other regional reports noted casualties and injuries in related incidents.
