Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei killed in U.S.-Israeli strikes

 

Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed Saturday in joint military strikes carried out by the United States and Israel, according to multiple reports. An Israeli source confirmed his death to USA TODAY, while Reuters and CNN also reported that Khamenei was killed during the operation.

The strikes, announced by President Donald Trump, targeted Iran’s missile capabilities and marked the beginning of what he called “major combat operations.” Trump described the campaign as “a massive and ongoing operation” aimed at eliminating “imminent threats from the Iranian regime.”

In response, Iran launched drone and missile attacks against American and Israeli targets, striking a U.S. Navy base in Bahrain. While no American service members were reported injured, Iranian officials vowed that their enemies would be “decisively defeated.”

Images from Tehran showed smoke rising over the capital as residents fled for cover. Iranian authorities said at least 40 people were killed in a strike on a girls’ school in the south, underscoring the devastating civilian toll of the escalating conflict.

The confrontation follows weeks of rising tensions, with Trump repeatedly threatening military action if negotiations over Iran’s nuclear and missile programs failed. Saturday’s strikes appear to have fulfilled those warnings, plunging the region into a new phase of instability.

Khamenei’s death leaves Iran facing a leadership vacuum at a critical moment. Analysts warn that the fallout could reshape the balance of power across the Middle East, with unpredictable consequences for global security.

    Asking for MEME.America as we all know is the great Satan,anybody who support America in what they are doing is a child of Satan.The Bible says men love darkness more than light.America dropped two(2) atomic bombs on Japan,and murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent men,women and children.They went to Vietnam and again the murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent men,women and children.They went to Iraq and on a lie they murdered Saddam Hussein,his family and thousands of innocent Iraqis.In Afghanistan and the Korean peninsula they murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent people.With the help of America,Israel murdered more than 100,000 innocent Palestinian men,women and children.Recently they bombed a girls school in Iran and murdered more than 150 young ladies.They should try attacking China,Russia and North Korea,they won’t because those countries have nuclear weapons that can destroy the American mainland.When our brain is damaged we support the evil ones.

      Trump is the great satan and Netanyahu is his sidekick. Not sure which one is the monkey and which one is the organ grinder. Rubio said that it was Netanyahu that twisted Trumps arm to go to war. Hmmmm!!! I wonder what Netanyahu have on him? Could it be the missing files from the Epstein files directly implicating him in child sexual activities. One day it will all come out in the open. Trump cannot hide behind wars forever.

    Boy PM Skerrit must be a very troubled man about this war between the US and Iran and then Iran’s retaliation by attacking the entire gulf countries.
    I am concerned because Iran has a lot of our CBI passport holders as well as the entire gulf that’s now being attacked by Iran. In fact Skerrit’s long time friend Alereza Monfared is from Iran.
    I am hoping and praying that the US doesn’t capture any of the criminals on the run with our CBI passport.
    Boy many of the Iranians holding our CBI passport might even try to run to Dominica and then try to attack the US or their interests from right here in Dominica. Let’s ask Mel how they feel

      Your name says it all. America and Israel, the evil twins, have massacred hundreds of thousands of innocent people globally. Assassinated many leaders. Destroyed many countries reducing them to rubble.

      No rational nor sane person would condone the wanton killing of civilians and the widespread destruction of entire countries. But again, what do we expect from someone suffering from severe
      intellectual disability.

      let’s not forget that Iran has many citizens with our CBI passport, including our former president Alereza Monfared. I just hope the US don’t capture attackers with our passport in their bag, thanks to Skerrit. So Dominica might very well be involved in this war

    Thank you Trump for weeding the world of their wicked leaders. In 2026 you’ve removed Maduro and now the supreme leader of Iran. I know the one in Cuba is not far away but you seem to have forgotten us in Dominica. So please come to our rescue and deliver us from this evil man by whatever means you deem necessary

      Thank You Trump. Wow and double wow. Do you know history, because if you did you will know that EVERY country that the good old USA meddles in they leave it in shambles. Never to be the same again. The USA cares nothing for black countries (less for black people). If you are in the US, good luck. If you’ re in Dominica, still no Green Card/Visa for you.

    This man (Trump) setting fires all over the world. Iran has done nothing to America. This warmonger has to be stopped.

    This is simply another attempt to distract from the Epstein files.

    Nothing lasts forever. Everything is temporary. I hope this man’s reign of terror ends abruptly.

      Nothing except for threaten death and destruction to the U.S. for years, kill several U.S. citizens including several civillians in their efforts to wage war against Israel, fund terrorrists which threaten U.S. allies and civillians in the region etc etc. They were building nuclear weapons I wonder for what reason.
