    Khamenei, one of the most evil individuals in history, is dead. This is not only justice for the people of Iran but also for all great Americans and for people from many countries around the world who have been killed or maimed by Khamenei and his gang of bloodthirsty thugs. He could not escape our highly advanced intelligence and tracking systems, and in close cooperation with Israel, he and the other leaders who were killed alongside him could do nothing. This is the greatest single opportunity for the people of Iran to take back their country. We hear that many members of the IRGC, the army, and their other security and police forces no longer want to fight and are seeking immunity from us. As I said last night: "They can have immunity now; later, only death awaits them!"

    I hope the IRGC and police peacefully integrate with Iranian patriots and work together as one unit to restore the country to its deserved greatness. This process must begin soon, as not only is Khamenei dead, but the country has been severely devastated in just one day and has even approached the brink of destruction. However, heavy and precise bombardment will continue relentlessly throughout the week—or as long as necessary—to achieve our goal of peace throughout the Middle East and, indeed, the world!

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

    **Jennifer Griffin; Senior National Security Reporter at **X:

    A U.S. official has told Fox News that the United States believes that Ali Khamenei and between 5 to 10 senior officials of the Islamic Republic were killed in Israel's initial attack on a compound in Tehran, and Washington agrees with Israel's intelligence assessment regarding this matter.

    A senior U.S. defense official also told Fox that the U.S. government concurs with Israel's assessment that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, along with 5 to 10 other senior officials of the Islamic Republic who were in a meeting in Tehran on Saturday morning, were killed. A senior commander of the Revolutionary Guard was also killed in this attack.

    According to several sources, the timing of this attack was advanced based on gathered intelligence and due to a "target-of-opportunity." Officials told Fox: "A conscious decision was made to accelerate the timeline."

    For this reason, the U.S. and Israel made an unusual decision and conducted the attack during the day to achieve an element of surprise and target this meeting. Typically, the U.S. military does not carry out operations like this during the day. This meeting expedited the timing of the attack.

    A senior U.S. defense official told Fox: "This was a broad and extremely bold attack in broad daylight."

    He added: "This attack caught senior leadership off guard; on Saturday morning, during Ramadan and coinciding with Shabbat, in broad daylight."

    This official also stated: "We targeted senior leaders from the very beginning." (The targeted attack was carried out by Israel.)

In response to a question about the political future of Iran, Trump confirmed that the United States has a "very good idea" regarding alternative figures for the future leadership of the country and has identified options in this regard.

    The U.S. President emphasized that recent attacks have inflicted crippling damage on the capabilities of the Islamic Republic, stating that these operations can continue "for as long as we want"; because, in his opinion, Tehran's ability to retaliate is severely limited. Trump also pointed to the "great alliance" of regional governments, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, in condemning the actions of the Islamic Republic, indicating that he is not concerned about escalating regional tensions. According to the ABC reporter, Trump's tone reflects complete determination in making this fateful decision, and there is no sign of doubt in him.
