01 · THE DISPATCH

According to a report by N12 (Israeli news channel), attributed to Iraqi sources, Najaf International Airport is making preparations to receive the coffin of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The report, posted Tuesday morning, did not specify the circumstances of Khamenei's death or provide any official confirmation from Iranian authorities. The Zioneer has no independent verification of the report, and no other Israeli or international outlets have yet confirmed the development. If true, the event would mark a historic shift in Iran's leadership and have profound implications for the region, including for Israel's security posture. The report remains a single-source claim at this stage.
