Reporting and sources state that Ali Khamenei was killed during a meeting of senior officials connected to Iran’s crackdown on protests. The alleged timing—linked to an internal security moment—has fueled speculation that the event was targeted or occurred amid heightened operations against dissent.

Protest-related detentions and internet disruptions have also intensified in recent days, adding to uncertainty inside Iran about next steps.
