Trump Claims Khamenei Killed in U.S.-Israeli Strikes

On Sunday, former U.S. President Donald Trump declared that Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in joint American-Israeli strikes targeting the Islamic Republic.

However, there was no confirmation of this claim, and Khamenei's official social media accounts suggested he remains alive. Trump made this assertion on his Truth Social platform, describing the report of Khamenei's death as a matter of justice for the Iranian people and the world.

He indicated that the strikes were carried out with significant support and coordination from Israel, although the specifics of the operation were not detailed. Trump also claimed that multiple Iranian leaders were targeted but did not provide names or evidence.

He urged Iranian security personnel, including members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, to surrender in exchange for immunity, warning that failure to do so would lead to imminent death. Trump emphasized the need for continued military action against Iran to achieve peace in the Middle East.
