Iran Israel War Live Updates: “Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead. 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, ” said Trump
Israel Attacks Iran Live Updates: Iranian state media reported that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead. This comes hours after US President Donald Trump announced that Khamenei, “one of the most evil people in history,” is dead, calling it justice for the people of Iran and for victims worldwide affected by Khamenei and his associates. He claimed that Khamenei and other leaders were unable to evade US intelligence and tracking systems, and that the operation was coordinated closely with Israel.
He said, “This is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their Country. We are hearing that many of their IRGC, Military, and other Security and Police Forces, no longer want to fight, and are looking for Immunity from us. As I said last night, “Now they can have Immunity, later they only get Death!” Hopefully, the IRGC and Police will peacefully merge with the Iranian Patriots, and work together as a unit to bring back the Country to the Greatness it deserves. That process should soon be starting in that, not only the death of Khamenei but the Country has been, in only one day, very much destroyed and, even, obliterated.”
Though he added that the heavy and pinpoint bombing, however, will continue, uninterrupted throughout the week or, as long as necessary to achieve their objective.
Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard threatened to launch its “most intense offensive operation” ever, targeting Israel and US bases. Earlier, the US President called for regime change in Tehran, urging the people of the country to ‘take over‘ the government, just hours after a mediator from Oman, i.e. the country’s foreign minister, claimed that Iran and the US had come closer, ‘like never before’, to a peace deal.
Airspace over Israel has been closed for civilian flights. Flights flying to and over Israel have been diverted. The Delhi-Tel Aviv flight is returning to India.
The embassies of India, the US, and other countries have issued advisories for their citizens in Iran and Israel.
