Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in his office on Saturday morning during US-Israeli air strikes, state media confirms.

President Trump said Khamenei was "one of the most evil people in History" and urged Iranians "take back their Country".

In Iran, there are celebrations in several cities, with others mourning in the streets - one local tells BBC Persian that Khamenei's death means the "world has become a better place now".

More than 200 people have been killed across Iran, the Red Crescent says. At least 108 were killed when US and Israeli strikes hit a girls' school, Iran says.
