The source seems to be Israeli claims that “the signs are that he has been killed…”
Volume and certainty added by Donald Trump
Meanwhile Iran’s finance minister "confirms"the Leader is alive.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is alive, the country’s finance minister confirmed after a report stating his death surfaced on Saturday. As the US and Israel struck Khamenei’s compound in Tehran, Israel’s Channel 12 television reported, citing sources, that there are ‘growing signs’ that the supremo may have been killed, The Times of Israel reported. However, the report was dismissed.
There was also a rumour about the Iranian president being killed
Need to wait…
“If [the Iranian supreme leader] is dead, then it looks like it’s not just the death of the ayatollah, but also the death of the Iranian Revolution, which was effectively on life support,” he says.
"It’s been on life support because it has failed ideologically, it has failed economically.
"It’s also completely failed at one of its fundamental tenets, which was that it would protect the Iranians by having this ring of defence around it using proxies, and those have been dismantled over the last year by their Israeli enemies."
The regime failed ideologically because of…US terror style attacks? Illegal US sanctions and starvation attempts? Israeli assassinations while Iran was negotiation?
That’s the UK media for you. I doubt I’ll check out any more from that kind of quarter.
@Rich re your post above:
“Full interview: Iranian foreign minister reacts to U.S. and Israeli strikes in Iran”
The guy spoke well and answered their questions, some of which completely lacked self awareness.
Like - following Trump’s claim that Iran was a threat to Americans, and the ministers’ denial,
they said in a kind of ‘Gotcha!’ that Iran was attacking Americans in the M.E…
“Yes but only in the military bases that are attacking us. Can you really not see that?”
They don’t say Americans and Israelis are special - but they feel it. It’s unwritten but it’s assumed.
Scott Ritter is saying that the Ayatollah Khamenei, who was apparently in poor health, deliberately remained in his home so that he’d be killed by the US and Israel in order to become a Martyr. The US and Israel have murdered the second most revered figure in Shia Islam and the Iranian people will now rally around their faith like never before.
“…we lost the war the moment we dropped those bombs on Ayatollah Khamenei’s home”.
This is insane and spiraling out of control. It could go nuclear.
Geopolitical analyst and war reporter Patrick Henningsen joins to discuss the latest breaking developments in the US-Israeli war on Iran including: Iran’s massive retaliation escalating in attack on USS Lincoln, missile hellfire over Israel, Hezbollah joining the war, and new revelations that Trump may be tapping out.

Won’t be able to watch tonight try tomorrow.
Looks like it will be riveting going by your intro - not the usual Youtube mad exaggerated headline!
Thanks R
“He said that ‘President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth,’” the complaint continued. “He had a big grin on his face when he said all of this which made his message seem even more crazy.”
If or when it all goes horribly wrong for the US and Israel, will they see the final you-know-what option as the ‘signal fire’?
And I thought it was the Mullahs that were supposed to be mad!
Someone is dreaming! All the military assets worth their salt are saying the US navy hid their tails and moved out of the ballistic missile range of around 1,000 miles after “none of the 4 missiles got even close”!
John Helmer’s research here is priceless, exceptional and complex. I highly recommend it although it’s quite dark. I’m left with the feeling that it could easily go nuclear. I’ll need to see it again to take all of it in.
