US President Donald Trump has announced the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei after joint US-Israeli air strikes hit his compound on Saturday. The strike reportedly targeted a building within Khamenei's residence in Tehran. Khamenei had been a dominant figure in shaping Iran's defiance against the international community, particularly since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. His death is likely to lead to a power struggle within Iran's government and military leadership.
