Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is ‘no longer’ alive, says Netanyahu as he urges Iranians to ‘rise up’

In a dramatic development, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is 'no longer' alive, following a reported attack on Khamenei's compound. According to reports, around 30 bombs targeted the facility, prompting speculation that Khamenei has either gone underground or is incapacitated. Netanyahu's statements come amid escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, with the Israeli leader urging Iranian citizens to rise up against their government. This announcement has not been officially confirmed by Iranian authorities, who typically maintain a tight grip on information regarding Khamenei's health and activities. The situation has raised questions about the stability of Iran's leadership and the potential implications for the region, especially considering the historical context of Israeli-Iranian hostilities. As the world watches closely, the internal dynamics within Iran could shift dramatically depending on the response from the Iranian populace and the government’s next steps in the face of such claims.
