In full: Trump's statement announcing Supreme Leader Khamenei's death

Donald Trump has just announced that Iran's Ayatollah Khamenei has been killed. Here is his whole post on his Truth Social Platform:

Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead. 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. 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. This is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their Country. We are hearing that many of their IRGC, Military, and other Security and Police Forces, no longer want to fight, and are looking for Immunity from us. As I said last night, “Now they can have Immunity, later they only get Death!” Hopefully, the IRGC and Police will peacefully merge with the Iranian Patriots, and work together as a unit to bring back the Country to the Greatness it deserves. That process should soon be starting in that, not only the death of Khamenei but the Country has been, in only one day, very much destroyed and, even, obliterated. The heavy and pinpoint bombing, however, will continue, uninterrupted throughout the week or, as long as necessary to achieve our objective of PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST AND, INDEED, THE WORLD!

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

1. If true

this is great news.

2. The bombing will continue until peace is achieved.

Am I the only one who sees a problem with this sentiment?

[Skittles]

4. what you're forgetting is

HE STILL WANTS THAT NOBEL PEACE PRIZE

[kimbutgar]

21. For destabilizing the Middle East ????

Ya sure orange monster!

[Greywing]

3. I'll believe it when there is proof ...

Using his social media platform to announce news usually means it’s a lie. Interesting he’s not appearing live on tv since he relishes the spotlight.

[2naSalit]

10. And I heard...

The announcement was prerecorded.

[Hugin]

20. Yeah, I will wait for a reputable source.

He also said Iran’s nuclear capacity had been “obliterated”.

[JBTaurus83]

5. I'd imagine it's probably true

I’d be glad to see him gone. I’m more apprehensive about what could come next. I do hope the Iranian people can create a free and democratic Iran.

6. I'm not believing it until announced by Iranian state media.

It could very well be Zionist and American disinformation right now.

[Lovie777]

12. They are denying it...............

[Aussie105]

14. Assume it is 100% disinformation until it is verified by a reliable independent source.

Successful or not, call it what it is . . . an illegal, undeclared war, and assassination attempts from a distance.

[Katinfl]

18. According to The Daily Beast, Iran confirmed his death.

[roamer65]

22. Al Jazeera is reporting that Iran state media is reporting the story is false.

[AZJonnie]

7. "the Country has been, in only one day, very much destroyed and, even, obliterated."

Really, dude?

[Vinca]

8. If Trump said the sky is blue, I'd look outside to be sure it wasn't raining.

[Takket]

9. That seems kind of hard to believe?

Wouldn’t he be in an undisclosed bunker somewhere? Not in some building we could just bomb? Guess we’ll wait and see.

Drumpf is senile so not hard to imagine he would be confused and incorrect about something he heard.

[Easterncedar]

11. He will see him in hell.

(I wish I were a believer)

[Aviation Pro]

13. Where do rank on the evil list

You child molesting motherfucker?

[PufPuf23]

15. Trump is happy knocking off competition for most evil person in the World. nt

[Aussie105]

16. Trump is a rogue leader.

Unfortunately the military are meekly following his destructive orders.

And the surrounding propaganda will get support from his followers, and confusion from everyone else.

[lostincalifornia]

17. It is probably true. If it turned out not to be accurate this would

Be a major blunder of our press to the level of the WMDs in Iraq.

[Blue Full Moon]

19. News coming out of the Middle East says otherwise.

Remember no matter either way that republicans had a hand in the mess that put him in charge. Just like they put Trump in and aren't doing anything to reign in or impeach.

[roamer65]

23. If it's not true, Dump loses an off-ramp from the war.

[BigmanPigman]

24. He IS dead.....

NPR, BBC, Axios, AP, etc have announced it.

I'm having deja vu.
