Khamenei, one of most evil people in history, is dead, - Trump
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in strikes by Israel and the United States.
This was confirmed by US President Donald Trump on the social network Truth Social, according to Censor.NET.
Khamenei is dead
"Khamenei, one of the most evil people in history, is dead. This is not only justice for the people of Iran, but also for all the great Americans and people from many countries around the world who were killed or maimed by Khamenei and his gang of bloodthirsty thugs," Trump wrote.
According to the American leader, Khamenei was eliminated with the help of American intelligence and high-tech surveillance systems, and in close cooperation with Israel. Other leaders were also eliminated along with Khamenei.
"This is the greatest opportunity for the Iranian people to take back their country. We hear that many members of the IRGC, the military and other security forces and police no longer want to fight and are seeking immunity from us. As I said last night: 'Now they can get immunity, later they will only get death!' I hope that the IRGC and the police will peacefully unite with Iranian patriots and work together as one to restore the country to the greatness it deserves," Trump said .
At the same time, the US president added that intensive and targeted bombing would continue "continuously for a week or as long as necessary" to achieve the goal of peace in the Middle East and the world.
