United States President Donald Trump has announced that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, was killed during coordinated US-Israeli airstrikes on Tehran, marking a major escalation in the rapidly expanding Middle East conflict.
In a statement posted late Saturday on his Truth Social platform, Trump described Khamenei’s reported death as “justice” for Iranians, Americans and victims around the world, calling the moment “the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their country.”
The US president said American intelligence and advanced tracking systems, working in coordination with Israel, successfully targeted senior Iranian leadership during the attacks.
He further claimed that elements of Iran’s military and security forces were seeking immunity and were unwilling to continue fighting.
Iranian authorities, however, have not confirmed the claim and insist the country’s leader remains alive and actively directing operations.
More details shortly..
