Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is firmly and confidently in control of the battlefield situation. This was reported by Tasnim citing a source close to Khamenei.

Earlier, Israeli media reported the death of Khamenei. Iran has not confirmed this information.

As a reminder, on February 28, the US and Israel launched a military operation against Iran. Strikes hit the Iranian capital Tehran and the country's largest cities. Immediately after the strikes, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced a large-scale retaliatory operation. Reports emerged of Iranian missile and drone launches targeting Israel and US military bases in Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia.
