Ayatollah Khamenei, reported killed by US-Israeli airstrikes
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Feb 28 (Reuters) - Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, 86, has been an inveterate foe of the West, crushing internal opposition while supporting proxy forces across the region in the hope of making his country respected and feared.
He was reported to have been killed on Saturday in the conflict that had defined him, as a senior Israeli official told Reuters his body had been found following U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Iran.
Satellite images showed significant damage to his Tehran compound, one of the first targets of the bombing campaign.
Khamenei's death would represent a massive blow to the Islamic Republic that he had led since 1989, a decade after rising to prominence in the theocratic revolution that toppled Iran's monarchy and rocked the Middle East.

Could the new Supreme Leader possibly be .......
Well done by a good ally.
Marco Rubio when he realizes he's going to be the next Shah of Iran.
When the Ayatollah was asked by a reporter from Al Jazeera what he did when the bombs started falling, he simply replied, "Iran". Too soon?
Morning...never...🤣
Always good to start off the day with a laugh..
My first decision is what to have for brekkie?...🙂
A Flock of Seagulls - I Ran
Cut off one head, and two more shall rise to take its place.
"Hail HYDRA! Um, er, I mean, hail MAGA! I keep forgetting what we call ourselves these days"...
American...
Many on the left call themselves "resistors", but don't know what they are resisting, as they have been told over and over they are on the wrong side of every 80/20 and 90/10 issue.
I think most know exactly what they are resisting. They're resisting rightwing religious conservatives claiming the right to take over elections. They're resisting the federal government overreach into States trying to deputize every State employee as a federal ICE agent that is expected to do ICE's job for them. They are resisting the blatant disregard for the environment and pillaging of our nation's public lands, parks and preserves. They are resisting the attempt to disenfranchise millions of American citizens through laws they know will make it more difficult for many American citizens to vote while not doing anything to deter voter fraud because there simply isn't any on a scale worthy of mention. They are resisting the mind numbingly stupid machismo of dick wads like Pete Hegseth and dumb fuck bigots like Stephen Miller. They are resisting the mountains of lies that continue to pour forth from the convicted felon Liar-in-Chief that some sad brainless desperate assholes elected because they were so fucking gullible, they believed all the rightwing conspiracy theories and decided America deserved to be burned to the ground. They are resisting the dismantling of the voting rights act and the civil rights act; they are fighting back after the destruction of Roe V Wade due to useless religious bigots forcing their religious views on others. Rightwing religious conservatives are destroying this nation as they once tried to do to conserve their right to own slaves and if we don't resist like we did back in 1861 the scum bag bigots might actually win this time. Cut one confederate head off and two MAGA heads grow back in its place.
Wow.....
Besides the obvious lies in that post, it truly was an unhinged moment for the ages.
Trump attacks Iran with Israel in order to get Epstein off of the front page...
I'm glad another fucking insane religious conservative has apparently been deleted, we need more of that.
Hoping for a regime change.

Iran state media reports Khamenei's death
February 28, 2026
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead, Iranian state media reports.
Chants of "Keir Starmer's a wanker" as Iranians and Jews celebrate the toppling of the mullahs in Iran
Good to see people coming together in support of the obvious
They are the main ones. But there are a lot of other groups that do not like the the Iranians (or at least their current regime). Iraq had a long bloody war with Iran. The Azerbaijanis to the North, And persecution of the Kurds.
And others...
Exactly, and now it sounds like it is the Kurds from northwestern Iran and from Northern Iraq who are indeed moving in with boots on the ground .
Perhaps that will minimize the need for American boots on the ground, and open up other possibilities for a more favorable replacement government in Iran for the Iranian people.
More on this HERE .
He is going to be immediately replaced by someone just as bad, if not worse.
Lemme see.... We got stuck in Afghanistan for twenty years... Iran is several times as populous as Afghanistan...
I guess we'll be in Iran for fifty years????
