In a video message to the Iranian people, President Trump stated that Iran would be “yours to take. This will probably be your only chance for generations.”
On Saturday, President Trump announced that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had been killed during the assault on Iran. Security officials from the country of Israel had stated that Khamenei was killed when his top-security hideaway was bombed, along with several of his top leaders.
Iranian state media reported that Khamenei was alive and “steadfast and firm in commanding the field.” They later reported that Khamenei and his entire family were killed during the assault.
“Iran considers it its legitimate duty and right to avenge the perpetrators and masterminds of this historic crime,” Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated after the death of the ayatollah.
