President Donald Trump said the joint airstrikes with Israel aim to end a decades-long threat from Iran and ensure it could not develop a nuclear weapon. The strikes targeted Iranian military and government sites. And this operation is likely to continue for as long as necessary, Trump says. In response, Iran launched attacks throughout the Middle East on U.S. allies and where the U.S. has military bases. U.S. Central Command says no U.S. service members have been injured, but damage has been reported in Tel Aviv and explosions could be heard in the skies over Dubai. Many airports in the region remain closed.

The president out with a statement announcing the death of the Ayatollah, writing 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.
