Breaking: Khamenei Dead: Trump and Israel Target Iran for Regime Change
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been killed following a series of massive US and Israeli airstrikes targeting Tehran and dozens of other locations. President Donald Trump confirmed the death via social media, announcing that major combat operations are underway with the explicit goal of overturning the Iranian government. The strikes, which began early Saturday, hit the Supreme Leader’s compound and government offices, while causing significant civilian casualties, including 118 deaths at a girls' school in Minab. Iran has responded with what its Revolutionary Guard calls the most ferocious offensive in its history, launching missiles and drones at Israel and four Gulf Arab nations: Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. This military escalation has derailed diplomatic efforts led by Oman and triggered a polarized domestic response in the United States, where celebrations in Los Angeles and anti-war protests in New York and Washington, D.C., have broken out. The region remains in a state of high alert as air travel and oil shipments are disrupted.
