The U.N. Security Council met in emergency session after Iran formally invoked its right of self-defense under Article 51 of the U.N. Charter following coordinated U.S.–Israeli strikes, as multiple news outlets and the U.S. president reported that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had been killed.
Moments before diplomats gathered in New York on Saturday, Israeli officials told The Associated Press that Khamenei died in an airstrike on his compound in Tehran.
