President Donald Trump on Saturday said that U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other top leaders.
“The people that make all the decisions, most of them are gone,” Trump told NBC News in a phone call, adding that “a large amount of leadership” in Iran was also killed, although he declined to go into more detail.
Shortly after the call, Trump posted on Truth Social that Khamenei had been killed in U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran.
“Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead,” he wrote. “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.”
Iranian state television network Press TV confirmed Khamenei's death in a social media post.
