00:04Breaking news at this hour in Iran. Authorities have confirmed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed following joint attacks by
00:13the United States and Israel against the Persian nation.
00:17The recent military escalation targeted several high-ranking officials of the Islamic Republic including the 86-year-old Supreme Leader.
00:27Khamenei represented the highest political and religious authority in the country leading the Iranian state and the Islamic revolution in
00:36accordance with the Iranian constitution.
00:39In the 1960s and 1970s Khamenei actively participated in the opposition of the monarchy of Reza Falabi which led to
00:51his arrest and persecution by the Sa'a's intelligence service.

01:041985.
01:05He served two terms in the midst of the war between Iran and Iraq consolidating his position in the political
01:14elite.

01:24His foreign policy was characterized by strong opposition to Israel in the face of the genocide perpetrated in Palestine and
01:34also continued support for the Palestinian cause in the Gaza Strip.
01:39This is tragic information that has been confirmed just a few moments ago by Iranian authorities themselves in the context
01:53in which U.S. officials and also Israel authorities were speaking about.
01:59U.S. President Donald Trump and also Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were assuring without providing evidence about the martyrdom of
02:10the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
02:12But this information was not confirmed until very few moments ago and this is a very regretful information that we
02:25would not like to give.
02:26But it is the truth now that Iranian authorities have confirmed this information.
02:33Let's speak a little bit more about the highest religious leader and also the highest political authority of the country
02:43who has as well authority over the military political institutions and influential state bodies.
02:52That is his decisions as well shape Iran's foreign relations, nuclear strategy as well and regional policies.
03:02In an attack also it was informed that the daughter of the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was also martyred in this
03:15terrorist attack perpetrated by the U.S. and Israel in Syria.
