US president posts on Truth Social that Iran’s supreme leader, ‘one of the most evil people in History, is dead’
Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei has been killed in the opening salvo of a regime change war launched on Saturday by the US and Israel, Donald Trump has claimed.
The US president announced the death of the ayatollah, who has ruled Iran as supreme leader since 1989, in a post on Truth Social.
“Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead,” Trump wrote.
“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.”
Trump said that the goal of the military campaign, which began on Saturday morning with a barrage of missiles and airstrikes, was regime change.
“This is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their Country,” he wrote.
