"Iran just stated that they are going to hit very hard today, harder than they have ever hit before. THEY BETTER NOT DO THAT, HOWEVER, BECAUSE IF THEY DO, WE WILL HIT THEM WITH A FORCE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE!"
"Israel launched a fresh attack on Iran early Sunday. In a post on X, the Israeli Air Force said it had begun 'a broad wave of strikes against targets of the Iranian terror regime in the heart of Tehran.' It's a continuation of the strikes on Saturday that devastated Khamenei's compound in Tehran."
"Khamenei, 86, was in power for almost 40 years, and his reign was marked by tensions with the US, as well as a recent brutal crackdown on Iranians protesting high inflation. Tensions with the US have been largely centered on Iran's support for terrorism, including incidents that resulted in the deaths of US troops, and concerns about its missile and nuclear programs."
Following the confirmed killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Saturday's joint US-Israeli strikes, President Trump issued a stark warning against Iranian retaliation, threatening force never before seen. Israel launched a broad wave of strikes against Iranian targets in Tehran's heart on Sunday, continuing Saturday's devastating attacks on Khamenei's compound. Khamenei, 86, had ruled for nearly 40 years amid ongoing US tensions centered on Iran's support for terrorism, missile programs, and nuclear capabilities. Iran had previously conducted retaliatory strikes targeting US bases and installations across the region. The escalation follows weeks of US military buildup in the Middle East amid failed nuclear deal negotiations and mounting rhetoric from both nations.
