> Israel and Iran each gave conflicting reports about whether Ayatollah Khamenei had likely been killed in a strike.

> In a televised speech, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel said “there are many indications" that the supreme leader had been killed in an attack, which he said, destroyed the “compound of the tyrant Khamenei.”

> About the same time Mr. Netanyahu was speaking, Esmaeil Baghaei, a spokesman for Iran’s foreign ministry told ABC News that Ayatollah Khamenei was “safe and sound.”

> As Supreme Leader, he holds ultimate authority over all branches of government, the military and the judiciary in the Shi'ite Islamic republic.
