(Worthy News) – President Donald Trump announced in a Truth Social post that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead, describing the development as “justice” for Americans and others worldwide allegedly harmed by the Iranian regime.
In the statement, Trump called Khamenei “one of the most evil people in history” and said the operation was carried out using advanced U.S. intelligence capabilities in close coordination with Israel. He claimed multiple Iranian leaders were killed alongside Khamenei.
Trump framed the moment as a historic opportunity for the Iranian people to reclaim their nation, asserting that elements within Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), military, and police forces may be seeking immunity rather than continuing to fight.
“As I said last night, ‘Now they can have Immunity, later they only get Death!’” Trump wrote, urging Iranian security forces to merge peacefully with what he described as Iranian patriots.
The president also warned that “heavy and pinpoint bombing” would continue throughout the week or longer if necessary, saying the objective is “peace throughout the Middle East and, indeed, the world.”
There has been no immediate independent confirmation of Khamenei’s death from Iranian officials.
