Iran confirms Khamenei's death

W460

Iranian state television on Sunday confirmed the death of Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, without referring to a massive U.S. and Israeli attack on his residence.

A presenter on state television announced Khamenei's death at 5:00 am (0130 GMT), as the channel broadcast archive images with a black banner as a sign of mourning.

Khamenei, 86, had been Iran's supreme leader since 1989.
