"We feel that that is a correct story," the US President said.

He also said "most" of Iran's senior leadership is "gone," including many people who make decisions.

So far, neither Israel nor the US has officially confirmed Khamenei's death. However, international media reports that his body was found under the ruins of his residence in Tehran, which was destroyed by Israeli and US strikes early in the day.
