President Donald Trump has called for regime change following the massive US and Israeli attack, which prompted an unprecedented wave of retaliatory strikes by Iran.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

February 28, 2026<\/p>\n

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed<\/a> in today\u2019s massive US and Israeli strikes on Iran, according to Israeli sources. The news comes shortly after Iran claimed<\/a> its leaders were \u201csafe and sound.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2022 About the attack: <\/strong>US President Donald Trump has indicated the ongoing military operation is aimed overturning Tehran\u2019s government<\/a>. More than 200 people have been killed<\/a> in Iran, according to state media.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Unprecedented retaliation: <\/strong>Iran unleashed strikes on US military bases<\/a>, Israel and other targets <\/a>across the Middle East, rocking densely populated areas<\/a> and disrupting air travel<\/a> and oil shipments<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Latest from the US: <\/strong>The military has reported no combat-related American casualties<\/a>. FBI counterterrorism teams<\/a> are on high alert, and the State Department advised US citizens<\/a> around the world to \u201cexercise increased caution.\u201d https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/world\/live-news\/israel-iran-attack-02-28-26-hnk-intl<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here is what Donald Trump posted:<\/p>\n

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. He was unable to avoid our Intelligence and Highly Sophisticated Tracking Systems and, working closely with Israel, there was not a thing he, or the other leaders that have been killed along with him, could do. 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, \u201cNow they can have Immunity, later they only get Death!\u201d 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. The heavy and pinpoint bombing, however, will continue, uninterrupted throughout the week or, as long as necessary to achieve our objective of PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST AND, INDEED, THE WORLD!<\/p>\n

Thank you for your attention to this matter.<\/p>\n

PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP<\/p>\n
