Khamenei death gives Iranians ‘greatest chance’ to take back country, says Trump
US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that Israeli and US strikes had killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, calling it Iranians’ “greatest chance” to reclaim their country. The attack deepens uncertainty over Iran’s future and marks Washington’s second strike during nuclear talks in eight months.
