Trump Says He Saved Iran Supreme Leader From ‘Ugly,’ ‘Ignominious’ Death
- US President Donald Trump claimed he saved Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei from a 'very ugly and ignominious death' during the recent 12-day conflict with Israel that ended earlier this week.
- The conflict involved intense Israeli and US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites while Israel refused to rule out attempts to assassinate Khamenei, who appeared frail in a defiant video proclaiming victory.
- Trump said he knew Khamenei's exact location, halted a major Israeli air offensive aimed at Tehran, and said Iran's leadership responded with 'anger, hatred, and disgust' after he stopped sanction relief efforts.
- Trump characterized Iran as a devastated nation with a crippled military and a struggling economy, cautioning Tehran that it needs to reintegrate into the international order. He emphasized that a diplomatic and conciliatory approach tends to yield better results than hostility.
- Despite setbacks and targeted strikes that killed key figures in Khamenei's inner circle, the regime remains intact, though analysts say Khamenei’s authority has been undermined, prompting elite debates on rebuilding Iran's capabilities.
