President Trump reportedly said on Sunday that 48 Iranian leaders were “wiped out in one shot” during Operation Epic Fury in Iran on Saturday.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the joint US-Israel operation in Iran killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and 40 other top Iranian leaders. Trump announced the operation on Saturday morning.
Trump later released a statement on Truth Social, confirming the death of the Ayatollah and urging the people of Iran to rise up and take over their government.
“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!” Trump said.
Trump further told reporters that he could “go long and take over the whole thing or end it in two or three days and tell the Iranians: ‘See you again in a few years if you start rebuilding [your nuclear and missile programs].”
Meanwhile, US and Israeli strikes on Iranian targets are continuing as Iran fires retaliatory strikes.
Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich on Sunday said that she had just spoken to Trump, who said that the operation is still moving along “rapidly” after killing dozens of Iranian officials and the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
