Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is presumed dead after a massive U.S. and Israeli military operation on Saturday, according to multiple Israeli official sources confirmed to CBS News.

In 2021, CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reported on the ballistic missile attack Iran had launched against U.S. troops in retaliation for the killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in 2020.

In 2015, Steve Kroft interviewed Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani on the heels of the landmark nuclear deal Iran had signed with six world powers.

In March 1980, the U.S. hostages in Iran had been held for four months. Mike Wallace’s report asked why so many Iranians endorsed their captivity.
