Iranian State Media Finally Admits What We've Known for Hours About Ali Khamenei

President Trump launched airstrikes against the Iranian regime just over an hour past his deadline, collaborating with Israeli forces to target the government’s leadership. The operation was successful, with key Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and most of his family, eliminated in the initial strikes. Iranian state media confirmed these outcomes, even though Israeli and American officials had already made the information public hours earlier. 

 Khamenei’s daughter, son-in-law, and grandson were also killed in the airstrikes:
