Iran's Supreme Leader is dead, Israeli officials claim: Trump shown a picture of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's body after he was killed in airstrike on compound

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead, multiple Israeli officials have claimed.

His body was found under rubble in his compound in Iran after US and Israeli airstrikes, according to news agency reports, citing defence officials.

Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu have been shown a photograph of his body, the same officials claimed.

'A photo of the body was shown to Netanyahu and Trump,' reported Israel's Channel 12.

'Senior Israeli officials were informed of Khamenei's elimination. His body was recovered from the rubble of his compound,' reported public broadcaster Kan. There has been no confirmation of Khamenei's death from Tehran.

In a televised address on Saturday evening, the Israeli Prime Minister said that airstrikes in Iran had destroyed the Supreme Leader's compound, and added that 'all indications show this tyrant is no longer with us.' However, Iranian state media has denied the claims so far.
