Iran Says Supreme Leader Khamenei Killed in Airstrike
(New York Times) Alan Cowell - Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who in more than three decades brutally crushed dissent at home and maintained unswerving hostility to the U.S. and Israel, died on Saturday during U.S. and Israeli military strikes on his country. Iranian state media confirmed he had been killed. Many Iranians viewed him as the dictator of a corrupt and repressive regime whose policies had killed thousands of Iranians and forced countless others into exile.
