“Iran just stated that they are going to hit very hard today, harder than they have ever hit before. They better not do that, however, because if they do, we will hit them with a force that has never been seen before,” said Trump
Trump said the killing of Khamenei represented justice for victims of Iran’s leadership worldwide. He said U.S. intelligence and coordination with Israel made it impossible for Khamenei to escape.
Tehran vowed massive retaliation by firing missiles at targets in Israel and Gulf Arab states earlier on Sunday.
Iran’s Cabinet later vowed revenge, warning that the killing of Khamenei would never go unanswered.
“This great crime will never go unanswered, and you have crossed our red line and must pay the price. We will deliver such devastating blows that you yourselves will be driven to beg.” said Iran’s parliamentary speaker, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf.

The U.S. State Department has issued a worldwide security alert following the launch of U.S. combat operations in Iran.
The department warned that Americans may face travel disruptions due to airspace closures and advised citizens to exercise increased caution globally.
Americans in the Middle East were urged to follow guidance from local U.S. embassies.
