Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in one of the first waves of strikes unleashed on Tehran. The Islamic Republic responded by striking US bases, Israeli military centres and civilian targets across the Middle East with missiles and drones.

President Donald Trump discussed the framework of a deal with NATO, credit card caps and the future of the Federal Reserve in a wide-ranging interview with CNBC's Joe Kernen in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday.

President Donald Trump on Saturday said the administration believes reports stating that Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has died in the strikes against the country “is a correct story.

In a brief interview, he said the country’s hardened military should simply surrender their weapons to the Iranian public.
