President Donald Trump told NBC News that reports of Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s death appear to be a “correct story.”
Several outlets, including Reuters and Axios, reported Khamenei was killed in US and Israeli strikes on Saturday, citing Israeli officials. Trump later told ABC News that he wasn’t ready to definitely declare the Iranian leaders dead, but “we believe he is.”
