🎯 IDF CONFIRMED ELIMINATION IRAN SUPREME LEADER ALI KHAMENEI IN TEHRAN STRIKE AS ISRAEL–US JOINT CAMPAIGN EXPANDS ACROSS IRAN
🎯 IDF ELIMINATED IRAN SUPREME LEADER ALI KHAMENEI IN TEHRAN: The IDF announced that on February 28, 2026, the Israeli Air Force eliminated Ali Khamenei in a precise large-scale operation guided by accurate IDF intelligence while he was in his central leadership compound in Tehran with additional senior officials.
Khamenei served as Supreme Leader since 1989 and was described by the IDF as the architect of Iran’s plan to destroy the State of Israel and the leader of the Iranian terror axis, including Hezbollah.
The IDF said he propagated an extremist ideology against Israel and the Western world and oversaw violent repression of Iranian citizens for many years.
The IDF stated he was responsible for terrorist attacks against Israel and that civilians worldwide were killed as a result of actions attributed to him.
The IDF said his elimination ends a decades-long chapter and joins a series of eliminations of senior members of the terror axis carried out during the war.
The IDF said the strike reflects its commitment to strike and thwart any actor seeking to harm Israel anywhere and at any time.
