Trump Claims Iran's Khamenei Killed in US-Israel Strikes
(MENAFN) US President Donald Trump declared Saturday that Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has been killed, making the explosive announcement via his Truth Social platform following coordinated American and Israeli military strikes against Iran.
"Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead," Trump wrote in the post.
The statement, unaccompanied by any cited intelligence source or official verification, arrived amid escalating military operations across the region.
Trump framed the reported death in sweeping moral terms, stating: "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."
Tehran moved swiftly to counter the claim. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei confirmed that Supreme Leader Khamenei and President Masoud Pezeshkian remained unharmed, rejecting assertions that either official had been targeted during the recent wave of attacks.
Despite the contradiction from Iranian authorities, Trump doubled down, crediting a joint US-Israeli intelligence and tracking operation for the outcome. "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," the president wrote.
Trump also cast the moment as a historic opening for Iran's civilian population, calling it "the single greatest chance" for ordinary Iranians to reclaim their nation.
The White House signaled no imminent halt to military activity, with Trump warning that operations — including what he described as "heavy and pinpoint bombing" — would press forward "as long as necessary" to secure wider stability across the region.
