As of March 1, 2026, there’s no independent verification. Iranian state media hasn’t announced his death, implying he’s still alive amidst the war’s uncertainty.
Recent reports from February 28, 2026, present conflicting claims. Israeli officials and media assert that his body was discovered after US-Israel strikes on Tehran, with Netanyahu citing “signs” of his demise.
Iranian officials, including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and the finance minister, firmly maintain that he is alive and actively responding.
Donald Trump Claims
The United States president, Donald J. Trump, said on Truth Social that he can confirm that Khamenei is no more.
Israeli Claims
Israeli sources have confirmed intelligence reports of Khamenei’s death in targeted airstrikes, which could potentially destabilize Iran’s regime.
Netanyahu referenced evidence like images of remains and a destroyed compound.
Iranian Denials
Officials confirm Khamenei’s survival, while two commanders, Defense Minister Amir Nasirzadeh and IRGC’s Mohammad Pakpour, were killed in the attack.
Reuters reported Iran declaring himself the “commander of the field.”
