Iranian Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is dead.
Aged 86, Khamenei passed away in the early hours of yesterday, following a United States-Israeli coordinated drone and missile attacks on Iran.
His passing came even as Iran launched a new wave of missile and drone strikes, targeting the US military bases across the region and Israel.
The move by the Iranian authorities was in retaliation to Khamenei’s killing.
Speaking on the turn of events in Iran, the speaker of Iran’s Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said the country had prepared for all scenarios.

The Iranian Parliament Speaker, who made the remarks in a video played on Iranian state television, also said that both the United States and the State of Israel would suffer the consequences.
Meanwhile, Trump has confirmed Khamenei’s death, saying it was justice and a pivotal moment for both the Iranian people and the United States.
Trump, in a statement in Washington DC, stated that Khamenei was one of the most evil people in history.
The United States President condemned Khamenei for his role in the deaths and injuries of Americans and others worldwide.
He further said missile and drone strikes that led to Khamenei’s death happened through advanced United States intelligence and tracking systems, in close coordination with Israel.
