Reuters said that Khamenei was killed and other media cites Reuters.

They all try to muffle away that the only source for the claim is Israel, putting that at the end every headline or not even in the headline. Some media simply cited Reuters as the source for the claim because of the ambiguity.

Their source is "we bombed Khamenei's home" I don't think Iran is stupid enough to leave him in his home.
