Saturday, February 28, 2026, President of the United States Donald Trump officially announced death ajatollah Ali Chamenei – supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The 86-year-old spiritual and political leader of Iran was killed as a result of a massive air strike carried out jointly by Israeli and American forces on Tehran.
Trump wrote on the Truth Social platform: "Khamenei, one of the most evil people in history, is dead. This is not only justice for the Iranian people, but for all the Great Americans and people from many countries around the world who have been killed or mutilated by him and his gang of bloodthirsty bandits. God blesses the United States, our great army and Israel!"

The leader's body was located, confirmed by anonymous sources in an Israeli interview. Attack was part of an extensive operation "Epic Fury" aimed at overthrowing the Iranian regime.
Iran He hasn't confirmed Chamenei's death yet. State media Tasnim and Mehr claim that the highest leader "remains strong and proves the battlefield", however, the lack of any new recordings or photographs with his participation for several hours raises huge doubts. In Tehran and other cities of Iran spontaneous celebrations broke out on the streets – thousands of Iranians cheer to the news of the end of the Chamenei era.
Death Ajatollah Ali Chamenei, who ruled Iran with an iron hand for 36 years, may mark the beginning of the end of the current regime.

History It's written right in front of us.
