U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed on Truth Social Saturday that Iran‘s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been killed.
“Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead,” he wrote.
Trump said the 86-year-old leader of Iran’s Islamic regime – who has held authority in the country’s theocratic system for decades – had died in U.S. strikes earlier Saturday.
Iranian state media later confirmed Khamenei’s death.
“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,” the statement continued.

The statement came after the United States and Israel carried out major military strikes in Iran earlier Saturday.
In an earlier video posted to Truth Social, Trump said the “massive” operation was intended to ensure Tehran does not obtain a nuclear weapon and “eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime.”
As he launched the bombing Saturday, Trump called on Iranians to “take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will be probably your only chance for generations.”
The first strikes Saturday morning appeared to target areas in downtown Tehran, including locations linked to Iran’s leadership.
Reuters reported the strikes also hit some civilian infrastructure including an all-girls school where over 100 people have died.
Tehran responded to the attacks by launching missiles at Israel and nearby Gulf Arab countries including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar.
Iranian officials had previously warned they would strike the region if attacked.
Trump referenced Washington’s decades-long dispute with Iran, including the 1979 seizure of the U.S. embassy in Tehran, when 52 Americans were held hostage for 444 days, as well as other attacks the United States has blamed on Iran since the regime.

Does that mean he’s with 80 virgin goats 🐐 now 🤔
Mabe I’ll go to Iran and see for myself. Oh wait they’d kill me before I got off the jet. This is a country that can never have nukes! They sponsor terrorist. They killed over 30,000 of their own people in last few weeks but I have TDS so I can’t use good judgment. I’m a donkey
Thank allah I’ve been removed from his head
Eradicate the goat f*ckers
Yeah, I want proof. Not just the empty words of a felon and warmongering fascist terrorist.
the problem is, Donald J. Trump lies constantly
Not sure how you got that comment through W. Seems comparing El Trumpo to those other fascist terrorists is censored even though it is truth.
Now, that Trump and Netanyahu have killed him ? They and Putin are only “war mongers” left
He drank the sweet, pure draft of Martyrdom. Literally slammed it.
Huh.
Randy Orr, do your research. The Liberals never liked him, they offered their support to the US if needed. Geez!
it didn’t have to end this way ..
What to send for the shiva…?
Thank fawwwk. Took long enough. They should carpet bomb that whole country and build a skatepark.
Oh this is too good listening to the libbies go sideways….up is down left is right…better break out the pet therapy hamsters…lol
Of course, Canadian media has to say “Trump Says”. Canadian Media always trying to make Trump seem like a liar.
Elvis is alive though. He’s in Area 51.
Oh wait, I’m an idiot. It’s been confirmed by every major news outlet on the planet, including the state-run Iranian media.
How can you believe it if Trump says he dead? He lies so much there is a 75% chance he is still alive.
They can make himself alive again with chinese AI. 🤣🤣
Maduro, El Mencho, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei….the Leftists are having a bad month!! Go Trump!!
Is trump just going to walk away now? If that’s the case then the snake will just grow another head and Iran will just become evil again. He can’t count on the people to have the power to overthrow the military and powers down the chain. There must be boots on the ground to finish the job of establishing a democracy.
The only people upset about today’s news are China, Russia, a bunch of Houthi, Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists….and some TDS afflicted liberal/democrat mo rons.
I jerk off to irans leader
Randy I am with you, I am mad Trump won and he got the supreme leader. I loved that regime in Iran. And the supreme leader was very sexually attractive to me.
Basically, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I don’t care that the Iranian regime funds terrorism all over the world, butchers thousands of their own people, threatens to wipe other countries and religions off the face of the earth etc. No problem by me. I’m mad Trump won. Again
Israel and US attack Iran for no reason, and Trump calls the Iran leader a thug. Amazing.
Remember tRump proudly announced wiping out Iran’s nuclear capability, then within 3 months starts a war because he did not. – Would anyone trust this person for truth?
“one of the most evil people in History, is dead”
I hadn’t realized Trump died. Is this true!?
I’m not liberal except when it comes to getting up up my azz. Love the co ck.
Don’t mind me, I’m just upset the supreme leader is dead. He made me wet.
Don’t f *uck with Trump!!
Yea maybe Khamenei is dead. We all know Trump doesn’t often tell the truth!
I let uncle Donny T. Touch me in my no non spot, and I liked it.
When will they assassinate the most cruel and corrupt leader on the globe – U.S. President Piggy?
We could all (finally) breathe a sigh of relief.
God is great. Thank-you for killing this pig. He slaughtered my cousin in Tehran.
great news thank you peace….
I’m glad he’s dead. One scourge gone. Now just the ‘Board of Peace’ to deal with. The other terr*rists. And no, I’m far from a liberal as can be.
As much as I dislike Donald Trump , I kind of agree with him on this one. I hope the entire Ayatollah family line was given the same treatment , cutting off the lineage.
Supreme leader is not so supreme lol
Liberal’s are crying now that the Iranian regime’s biggest monster has gone poof. They really liked him.
The Iranian regime’s biggest monster has gone poof. Watch liberals cry now. They really liked that dictator.
I’m, thinking the States should be minding their own affairs, and T Rumpster is one of the worst of the worst ‘supreme’ leaders yet. He and Putin, DIC tator tots.
Well Trump you are equally as vile as the supreme leader….when is someone going to get rid of you?
The I Told You Khamenei won’t be telling anyone anything anymore LOL!
Trump says one of the most evil person in history is dead, funny how he can point out evil in another person but can’t recognize it in himself or Putin
Prophecy being fulfilled. Look up! Jesus is coming soon…
Why didn’t Trump say 40 girls were killed and we heard all their families screaming because he bombed a school I hope he spends the rest of his life in jail but if Nostradamus says he has to go swimming and a sea of something red well then can we go throw him to where he’s planning on bombing next
such amazingly good news for the free world, women, and goats everywhere!!
WW3 is starting before our very eyes. (AI)
Yeah…the collectivist mob will have a real hard time condemning this….but as soon as the coverage dies down they will hop right back on their soapboxes….. pathetic
the worst person you ever know just did a great thing
