World-changing news, if true…
According to Mediaite, Israel’s N12 News is reporting that the Israeli government believes that Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is dead.
From Mediaite:
A translated version of an N12 update from Saturday morning citing a senior Israeli official suggests that the Israelis have assessed that Khamenei is “no longer with us” after the United States and Israel launched a joint operation against the Iranian regime overnight.
Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi, meanwhile, told NBC News in a Saturday morning interview that he believed both Khamenei and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian were still alive.
“As far as I know, yes they are alive,” Araghchi said after being asked directly about their status.
President Trump announced that the United States had begun “major combat operations in Iran” in a video statement released on Saturday morning.
“Our objective is to defend the the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime, a vicious group of very hard, terrible people,” said Trump before calling on the Iranian people to “take over” their government once the United States concludes its operations.
“America is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force,” he promised.
