Israel and US Conduct Airstrikes on Tehran Targeting Supreme Leader's Compound

On February 28, 2026, Israel and the United States launched coordinated airstrikes on Tehran, targeting multiple sites including the offices and compound of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Masoud Pezeshkian. Satellite images showed significant damage to Khamenei's compound, though Iranian officials stated he was moved to a secure location and remains alive. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed there were signs Khamenei may have been killed, but no official confirmation has been provided. The strikes escalated regional tensions, prompting retaliatory missile attacks by Iran on US and Israeli bases in the Middle East.
