President Donald Trump on Saturday announced that Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed on Saturday amid escalating conflict in the Middle East following a major military operation initiated by the United States and Israel against Iran.
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, “Now they can have Immunity, later they only get Death!” 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!
Various media reports cited Israel’s ambassador to the U.S., who informed American officials of Khamenei’s death. Additionally, an Israeli official confirmed to Axios that Khamenei was indeed killed.
According to a report from Reuters, referencing another Israeli official, Khamenei’s body has been located. The Times of Israel also reported, citing a video from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, that Khamenei “is no more.”

Trump said Friday that the United States is engaged in high-level discussions with Cuba and suggested the possibility of what he described as a “friendly takeover” of the communist run island.
Speaking to reporters outside the White House before departing for Texas, Trump said Secretary of State Marco Rubio was leading conversations with Cuban officials, The Associated Press reported.
“The Cuban government is talking with us,” Trump said. “They have no money. They have nothing right now. But they’re talking to us, and maybe we’ll have a friendly takeover of Cuba.”
What a “friendly takeover” of Cuba would really mean
👀🇨🇺Trump said today that the U.S. is in talks with Cuba and “maybe we’ll have a friendly takeover.”
Here’s what that actually looks like in practice (not tanks on beaches):

He repeated the phrase moments later. “We could very well end up having a friendly takeover of Cuba,” the president said.
Trump did not clarify what he meant by “friendly takeover,” and the White House did not respond Friday to requests for additional details.
The president described Cuba’s current condition in stark terms.
“Cuba is, to put it mildly, a failed nation,” Trump said. “They want our help.”
His comments came two days after Cuba’s government reported that a Florida-registered speedboat carrying 10 armed Cubans from the United States opened fire on soldiers off the island’s north coast.
According to Havana, four of the armed Cubans were killed, and six were injured in return fire. One Cuban official was also wounded during the confrontation.
Cuban authorities confirmed earlier this week that they were communicating with U.S. officials following the shooting. Rubio has said the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Coast Guard are investigating the incident.
Cuba has been central to Trump’s foreign policy rhetoric in recent weeks, particularly after U.S. forces ousted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, a longtime ally of Havana.
Following that operation, Trump suggested military action against Cuba might not be necessary, arguing that the island’s struggling economy could collapse without oil shipments from Venezuela.
