Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in major Israeli-US airstrikes. Donald Trump he claimed. Iranian state media had previously denied Israeli reports that the country’s leader had died, adding that Khamenei was safe and “ruling the field.” But on Saturday night, shortly before 21:45 GMT, the US President took to Truth Social to claim that Iran’s supreme leader was dead.
He wrote: “Khamenei, one of the worst people in history, is dead. This is justice not only for the people of Iran, but for all Great Americans and people in many countries of the world who were killed or maimed by Khamenei and his gang of bloodthirsty STUFF.” Mr. Trump, whose forces joined Israeli strikes overnight in Operation Epic Fury, claimed the Iranian leader “could not evade our Intelligence and Highly Advanced Tracking Systems, and working closely with Israel, there was nothing he or the other leaders killed with him could have done.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had previously hinted that Khamenei may have been killed, saying: “The plan to destroy Israel no longer exists, and there is a high probability that the tyrant Khamenei does not either.” Aerial photos show Khamenei’s compound was largely destroyed following the attacks. As the US and Israel launched attacks across Iran, Donald Trump called on the Iranian people to overthrow the government. Following the wave of attacks launched by the USA and Iran, Iran’s retaliatory attacks have been shaking many Middle Eastern countries for days.
