Washington, March 1: President Donald Trump has announced that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has died. He stated that U.S. bombings will continue throughout the week or as long as necessary.
In a statement, Trump described Khamenei as “one of the worst people in history,” asserting that his death represents “justice for the people of Iran.” He added that it is also justice for American citizens and many others worldwide who have been killed or injured due to Khamenei and his associates.
Trump emphasized that Khamenei could not evade capture due to “our intelligence and very advanced tracking systems.” He noted that the U.S. collaborated with Israel in this operation, and Khamenei, along with other leaders, was powerless to respond.
The President characterized this situation as the “greatest opportunity” for the Iranian people to reclaim their country. He claimed that many members of Iran’s IRGC, military, and other security forces no longer wish to fight and are seeking security guarantees from the U.S. He warned that while they may receive protection now, they will ultimately face death later.
Trump expressed hope that the IRGC and police forces would work peacefully with Iranian patriots to restore strength to the nation. He asserted that Khamenei’s death has resulted in significant damage to Iran on the same day.
He stated that precise and heavy bombings will continue until the goal of establishing peace is achieved, claiming this action is aimed at bringing peace to the Middle East and the world.
White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt mentioned on X that “President Trump has been monitoring the situation overnight at Mar-a-Lago with his National Security team.”
She added that the President spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu by phone. Levitt further noted that prior to the attacks, Marco Rubio contacted all members of the congressional notification group, reaching seven out of eight members.
She stated, “The President and his National Security team will closely monitor the situation throughout the day.”
U.S. officials told reporters that the President believes diplomacy is no longer an effective option. They indicated that intelligence reports suggest a serious threat from Iran’s missile capabilities and nuclear program.
Following this announcement, tensions between Washington and Tehran have escalated. The U.S. and Iran have had longstanding disputes over Tehran’s nuclear program, regional proxies, and ballistic missile development.
