Iran’s Al-Alam TV reported that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei will speak to the Iranian people soon.
Following reports by some Israeli media channels that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was believed to have been killed in Saturday morning’s strikes, the Iranian foreign minister has said the Ayatollah is still alive.
Israel’s Channel 12, citing unnamed Israeli sources, said there were “growing indications” that the 86-year-old leader had been killed.
Other Israeli media outlets also reported the information, citing Channel 12, but cautioned that a confirmation was awaited.
Asked about the reports, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi told NBC News in an interview that Khamenei was still alive, “as far as I know”.
