Israel Kills Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei

An Israeli airstrike on Saturday killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, officials and media reported, striking his known compound in Tehran. Legal experts say a head of state who commands armed forces is a lawful military target under the law of armed conflict, while commentators warn the operation represents a rare, escalatory precedent with significant diplomatic and security consequences; reports also suggest AI tools (Anthropic's Claude) aided the strike.
