As U.S. and Israeli forces launched their joint offensive against Iran early Saturday, President Donald Trump called on the Iranian people to rise up and overthrow the country’s Islamic regime. “Take over your government,” he exhorted them. “America is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force. Now is the time to seize control of your destiny . . . This is the moment for action. Do not let it pass.”
That moment may be now, especially since Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader, is dead, killed in air strikes that devastated the presidential complex in Tehran, Trump declared on his Truth Social account. There’s been no word yet on other senior officials who may have been killed in the attacks.
Sources tell SpyTalk that the Trump administration’s intent resembles what happened in Venezuela in January—to lop off Iran’s unpopular clerical leadership and invite the next level of officials to cooperate with Washington, however repressive it may remain. Regime change, in other words, would not include opposition figures who’ve led the huge protests that have roiled the country for months. Any IRGC officials who lay down their arms would be offered “immunity,” Trump said when announcing the start of “Operation Epic Fury,” hinting that U.S. intelligence already has made such overtures to that effect. “So lay down your arms, you will be treated fairly with total immunity, or you will face certain death,” he said.
The video shows precision-guided munitions striking military facilities, missile launchers, and other strategic sites, with large explosions and thick plumes of smoke rising into the sky, News.Az reports, citing Reuters.

The strikes are part of a broader operation aimed at degrading Iran’s military capabilities amid escalating regional tensions.
U.S. officials describe the action as a response to security threats, while Iranian authorities condemn the attacks as violations of sovereignty and warn of retaliation.
The developments mark a sharp escalation that could have significant implications for stability across the Middle East.

Donald Trump has announced that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been killed.
The US President stated on his Truth Social platform: “This is not only Justice for the people of Iran, but for all Great Americans, and those people from many Countries throughout the World.”
“He was unable to avoid our Intelligence and Highly Sophisticated Tracking Systems and, working closely with Israel, there was not a thing he, or the other leaders that have been killed along with him, could do… This is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their Country.”
Satellite images show the compound of Iran’s Supreme Leader in ruins, following the launch of attacks by the US and Israel across the country. Israel said it had killed seven other senior Iranian leaders in the strikes.
In response, Iran launched attacks throughout the Middle East. Strikes have been reported in Dubai, Doha, Bahrain, and Kuwait – all places with US military bases, or that are allied to the US.
