Full coverage: Iran leader Khamenei dead, Trump says US, Israel strikes to continue

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in a major attack on Iran launched by Israel and the United States, President Donald Trump said, calling it the "greatest chance" for the Iranian people to "take back" their country. The announcement came after a joint U.S. and Israeli aerial bombardment that targeted Iranian military and governmental sites. Trump said the "heavy and pinpoint bombing" was to continue through the week or as long as necessary. There was no immediate comment from Iran on Khamenei's status.
