Iran’s (now deceased) Supreme Leader taunted President Trump last week in a series of social media posts.
Khamenei’s social media posts didn’t age very well.
“The US President has said that for 47 years, the United States hasn’t been able to eliminate the Islamic Republic. That is a good confession. I say, ” You, too, will not be able to do this,”” Khamenei said last week.
Iran’s Supreme Leader and more than 40 top Iranian leaders were killed in the US-Israel military operation on Saturday.
More than 200 people were killed and nearly 800 people were injured in the military strikes.

Khamenei trashed the US military a week before US-Israel military strikes killed him.
“The US President keeps saying that they have the strongest military force in the world. The strongest military force in the world may at times be struck so hard that it cannot get up again,” Khamenei said last week.

On Saturday evening after Iranian state television confirmed Khamenei was killed in the military strikes, an aide posted a verse from the Quran to his X account.
“Among the faithful are men who fulfill what they have pledged to Allah: there are some among them who have fulfilled their pledge, and some of them who still wait, and they have not changed in the least (Holy Quran 33:23),” the post said.
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
