Netanyahu: Supreme Leader Khamenei 'Is No Longer'
Reuters reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that there are many signs indicating that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei "is no longer."
Earlier, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei told the BBC that he is not in a position to confirm whether senior leaders targeted in recent US-Israeli strikes remain unharmed.
UPDATE: More on Netanyahu's comments from Reuters:
"This morning we destroyed the compound of the tyrant Khamenei," Netanyahu said in a video statement, adding that for more than 30 years Khamenei had "dispatched terrorism across the world, made his own people miserable, and worked constantly and tirelessly on a program to annihilate the state of Israel."
"There are many signs that this tyrant is no longer. This morning we eliminated senior officials in the ayatollahs' regime, Revolutionary Guards commanders, senior figures in the nuclear programme - and we will continue. In the next few days, we will hit thousands more targets of the terror regime," Netanyahu said.

More On The Reported Strike On A Girls' School
The details of a supposed US-Israeli strike on a girls' school in Minab, southern Iran, are still unclear. Iranian officials and state media have claimed the strike killed 4085 people, mostly young girls, with apparent footage showing rubble and scattered backpacks.
Iranian President Masud Pezeshkian condemned what he called a"barbaric act" that has "caused deep pain to the hearts of the Iranian nation."
There have been counter claims online, however, mainly from Iranian opposition accounts, saying that the strike was actually a misfired Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) rocket.
According to some news reports, there is an IRGC base in Minab.
Other have claimed that footage widely shared on X purportedly showing the aftermath of the strike actually showed the aftermath of a Taliban attack on an army school in Peshawar, Pakistan, in 2014.
