Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Mohammad Pakpour, are reportedly killed following a series of strikes in Iran on February 28, as reported by Israeli media outlets. Citing sources from channels such as Channel 12, these outlets suggest that there is increasing evidence to support this claim, while earlier reports indicated that Khamenei might have been injured during the attack. The accuracy of this information is yet to be confirmed, and the reports are primarily based on anonymous sources rather than verified satellite imagery.

In the wake of these attacks, there are expectations of a statement from Khamenei, which may have already been recorded prior to the incident. Channel 12 highlights that the strikes have resulted in significant damage to not only Khamenei but also to the overall Iranian military structure, affecting its senior commanders and the regime’s leadership. The implications of such an event could be substantial, given Khamenei's pivotal role in Iranian politics and the military structure.

The situation remains precarious as the Iranian government is likely to respond vehemently to these developments. As the news spreads, analysts speculate on how this might alter Iran’s internal and external military strategy, especially considering the long-standing tensions between Iran and Israel. The potential vacuum in leadership could lead to a shift in power dynamics within Iran, influencing its regional relationships and military posturing.
