United States President Donald Trump has warned Iran of “unprecedented force” if it retaliates after a joint US-Israeli attack reportedly killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday February 28, 2026. Trump tweeted on his Truth Socials “Iran just stated that they are going to hit very hard today, harder than they have ever been 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!”.
Khamenei’s death has sparked tensions in the Middle East, with Iran vowing to retaliate. The US and Israel launched the attack, claiming it was to disable Iran’s nuclear capabilities and prevent future threats.
