On February 28, 2026, Israeli officials reported that a coordinated U.S.-Israeli aerial campaign struck multiple high-value targets inside Iran and that Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in the attacks, though Iran had not immediately confirmed the report. This is a seismic development in a region that has exported terror and chaos for decades, and Americans have a right to know the truth about who is making decisions to protect our interests abroad.
The operation — described by reporting outlets as a broad, joint military offensive against Iranian leadership and nuclear-related sites — represented months of planning and an unmistakable shift from deterrence to decisive action. For too long, weak leaders and appeasers tolerated a regime that funded proxies aimed at murdering our allies and destabilizing the Middle East; this action shows that the United States and Israel are prepared to act when words fail.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly said there were “many signs” that Khamenei was no longer alive, and some reports — including wire agency accounts — indicated that his body had been located after strikes on his secure compound. Whether the regime admits it or not, the world is witnessing the unmasking of a system that has long sheltered and empowered terrorists, and the removal of its top tyrant would be a turning point for freedom-seeking Iranians.
U.S. officials confirmed participation in the operation, with the American president announcing the offensive and calling on the Iranian people to seize the moment and reclaim their destiny from clerical dictatorship. That call should remind Americans that leadership requires resolve; when our commanders act with clarity of purpose, it sends an unmistakable message to enemies and friends alike about who stands strong for liberty.
Predictably, Tehran responded with missiles and drones across the region, and the first wave of exchanges produced tragic civilian casualties amid the chaos that follows such large-scale strikes, including reports of strikes hitting schools and residential areas. None of this diminishes the reality that Iran’s regime made its own bed with decades of violence, hostage-taking, and nuclear ambition; responsibility for civilian suffering rests squarely with the clerical rulers who choose to wage war rather than pursue peace.
To patriotic Americans: applaud firm action when it defends our allies and dismantles rogue regimes, but demand competence, clear objectives, and a plan to secure victory and bring lasting stability. The left’s reflexive hand-wringing and calls for immediate diplomacy only embolden dictators; if Washington intends to finish what was begun, it must stand by our partners, back the brave Iranian dissidents who want freedom, and ensure that terror-sponsoring regimes cannot rebuild.
