BREAKING NEWS: Trump Says There Is a ‘90% Chance’ Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei Is No Longer Alive
U.S. President Donald Trump has made one of his most striking remarks yet regarding Iran’s leadership, claiming during an interview with Fox News that there is a “90% chance” Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is no longer alive.
Trump did not provide any evidence to support the claim, but his comments are likely to fuel renewed speculation over Khamenei’s whereabouts and condition amid the escalating conflict between the United States and Iran.
The statement comes after months of uncertainty surrounding Mojtaba Khamenei, who has remained largely out of public view following reports that he was injured during the conflict. Iranian authorities have continued to issue written statements in his name, but his absence from public appearances has sparked persistent speculation internationally.
Trump’s latest remarks mark a significant shift in tone from earlier comments, when he suggested Khamenei was “probably alive” despite reports of serious injuries. His assertion that there is now a “90% chance” the Iranian leader is dead represents his strongest public statement on the issue to date.
Iranian officials have not immediately responded to Trump’s latest claim, and there has been no independent confirmation regarding Mojtaba Khamenei’s condition. The uncertainty continues to add another layer of tension to the rapidly deteriorating security situation in the Middle East.
