Title: RIP Ayatollah Khamenei Post by Gordon on Mar 1st, 2026 at 6:57am
At least he died doing what he loved.
The fact there was intelligence to tell Israel/USA exactly where he was and to confirm the reports speaks volumes about how desperately the PEOPLE of Iran wants the regime GONE |

It's strange how the Middle East is so enthusiastic about police violence. Syria had a torture prison and the previous Iran of the Shah was the same. It's more than being Islamic.
'The Assyrian Empire (approx. 9th–7th century BC) utilized extreme, intentional brutality as a tool of psychological warfare and state control. Their military campaigns were characterized by mass deportations, destruction of cities, and horrific tortures—including flaying, impalement, and killing infants—designed to terrorize populations into submission.' |

Title: Re: RIP Ayatollah Khamenei Post by Bobby. on Mar 1st, 2026 at 8:10am Trump says ‘evil’ Khamenei is dead By Jacob Magid Follow Today, 11:53 pm US President Donald Trump declares that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has been killed in today’s joint American and Israeli strikes against the Islamic Republic. “Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead,” Trump writes on Truth Social. There is no confirmation from Iran and a tweet is posted from Khamenei’s X account purports to demonstrate that the supreme leader is still alive. But Trump writes that Khamenei’s death is “not only justice for the people of Iran, but for all great Americans, and those people from many countries throughout the world [who] have been killed or mutilated by [him] and his gang of bloodthirsty THUGS.” While Israel was reportedly behind the specific strike that took out Khamenei, Trump indicates the US played a major role, while coordinating with Jerusalem. Khamenei “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 [who] have been killed along with him, could do,” Trump writes. “This is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their country. We are hearing that many of their [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps], military, and other security and police forces, no longer want to fight, and are looking for immunity from us,” Trump claims. Such capitulations have not been verified. |

I have not seen any reliable proof yet.
Also, if Iran's Supreme Leader died along with the top ranks of the army and the IRGC, then how come that the country did not lose control and ability to defend itself. Is it possible that Iran's system of power and defense is being regenerated and does not depend on personalities? |

Wow if Trump has really killed the ayatollah, he will bury the Epstein narrative and win a peace prize.
I think it's a smart move |

US, Israel attack Iran live: Trump says Khamenei killed, Iran denies claim US President Donald Trump and Israeli officials claim that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been killed. Iran has denied the killing, with semi-official media saying he is “steadfast” in commanding the field. Trump, who earlier announced “major combat operations” in Iran after Israel also said it had launched missile attacks against the country, says the “heavy and pinpoint” bombing will continue “uninterrupted throughout the week or, as long as necessary” to achieve his objectives. |

Wow - Trump got em.
https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/423141 Iran officially announces: Khamenei eliminated Official media outlets in Iran confirm Supreme Leader was eliminated in joint strikes by the US and Israel. 40 days of mourning declared. Israel National News Published: Mar 1, 2026, 3:55 AM (GMT+2) Updated: 5:36 Earlier, US President Donald Trump confirmed that Khamenei had been eliminated in the strikes on Iran. "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," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. US sources told the Reuters news agency on Saturday night that Israel and the United States timed their strike on Iran to coincide with a meeting being held by Khamenei with senior aides. Khamenei was eliminated along with other senior Iranian officials, including Ali Shamkhani, the former secretary of Iran’s National Security Council, and Mohammad Pakpour, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. |
