Dow Jones03-01

By Meridith McGraw

President Trump declared on Truth Social that Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead.

"Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead," Trump posted on social media. "This is not only Justice for the people of Iran, but for all Great Americans, and those people from many Countries throughout the World, that have been killed or mutilated by Khamenei and his gang of bloodthirsty THUGS."

Trump called his death, "the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their Country." Trump said his hope is that Iran's Revolutionary Guard and police will join forces with Iran civilians "and work together as a unit to bring back the Country to the Greatness it deserves."

Trump said the bombing will continue "uninterrupted throughout the week or, as long as necessary" to achieve the objective of "PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST AND, INDEED, THE WORLD!
