‘Khamenei…Is Dead’: Donald Trump Confirms Death of Iran’s Supreme Leader

President Donald Trump declared via Truth Social on Saturday, “Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead.”

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s body was reportedly recovered from his palace following the joint U.S.-Israeli military strikes aiming for regime change, according to Amit Segal, chief political analyst at Israel’s N12 News.

Trump’s statement continued:

This is not only Justice for the people of Iran, but for all Great Americans, and those people from many Countries throughout the World, that have been killed or mutilated by Khamenei and his gang of bloodthirsty THUGS. He was unable to avoid our Intelligence and Highly Sophisticated Tracking Systems and, working closely with Israel, there was not a thing he, or the other leaders that have been killed along with him, could do.

This is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their Country. We are hearing that many of their IRGC, Military, and other Security and Police Forces, no longer want to fight, and are looking for Immunity from us. As I said last night, “Now they can have Immunity, later they only get Death!” Hopefully, the IRGC and Police will peacefully merge with the Iranian Patriots, and work together as a unit to bring back the Country to the Greatness it deserves. That process should soon be starting in that, not only the death of Khamenei but the Country has been, in only one day, very much destroyed and, even, obliterated. The heavy and pinpoint bombing, however, will continue, uninterrupted throughout the week or, as long as necessary to achieve our objective of PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST AND, INDEED, THE WORLD!”

Trump announced the joint U.S.-Israeli military action again Iran early Saturday morning. Both Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged the Iranian people to pursue regime change.

Trump told NBC News’s Kristen Welker later Saturday, “The people that make all the decisions, most of them are gone,” when touting the strikes he said took out most of the Islamic Republic’s leadership.
