Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei Reported Killed After 36 Years in Power, U.S. Says
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader for 36 years, was reported killed in U.S. and Israeli airstrikes, according to U.S. President Donald Trump, though Iran did not immediately confirm his death. Khamenei rose from revolutionary cleric and former president to become supreme leader in 1989, expanding the office’s power and deepening the state’s role in domestic repression and regional proxy conflicts. His rule was marked by harsh crackdowns on dissent, including deadly protests in late 2025 to early 2026, and by growing public disillusionment, with many Iranians expected to view his legacy as one of regime weakness rather than reverence.
