BAGDHAD: Iraqi leaders, including influential cleric Moqtada Al-Sadr, on Sunday mourned the death of Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a massive US-Israeli attack. The Coordination Framework, a ruling alliance of Shiite groups with varying degrees of links to Iran, said “with deep sorrow and profound grief, we mourn the passing of the martyred leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.” His “blood will remain a guiding light for all generations” and “the curse will continue to haunt the murderous Zionists for all time,” the alliance added.

“Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead,” Trump wrote in a social media post.

A senior Israeli official told Reuters that Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in Israeli and U.S. strikes.
