On February 28, 2026, U.S. and Israeli forces carried out a coordinated, high‑impact strike on Iranian targets that Israeli officials say included the compound of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, with Israel claiming there are strong signs he has been killed. The operation marked a dramatic and long‑planned escalation aimed at decapitating the theocratic regime’s leadership and was announced amid intense regional mobilization.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the world there were “many signs” that Khamenei is “no longer with us,” and a senior Israeli official told international reporters that Khamenei’s remains had been located, even as Tehran initially denied the reports and information on his fate remained chaotic. This is the kind of decisive intelligence‑driven strike American patriots hoped to see against a regime that has financed terrorism for decades.
Tehran responded almost immediately with missile and drone attacks across the region, striking Israeli territory and U.S. military positions and prompting widespread alerts and airspace closures; Iranian state figures reported hundreds of dead and hundreds more injured in the initial exchanges. The volatile tit‑for‑tat made clear that the rotten core of the regime has been exposed, but that we must prepare for a dangerous, ugly, protracted period of retaliation and proxy violence.
Tragically, reports from Iran also describe civilian carnage, with Iranian authorities claiming a girls’ school in Minab was struck and scores of children killed, an allegation the U.S. military said it was investigating amid the fog of war. The loss of innocent life is always terrible and must be transparently investigated; that said, Americans should not lose sight of who purposefully put their fellow citizens and children in harm’s way for the sake of a murderous regime.
Patriotic Americans should recognize what this moment represents: a hard, clear answer to decades of Iranian aggression and terror sponsorship, and a potentially historic turning point for the Middle East. President Trump and Israeli leaders moved with the resolve voters demanded, and now Washington must stand firmly behind our forces and our ally while demanding accountability, supporting relief for civilians, and pressing for the dismantling of the Revolutionary Guard’s terror networks; weak apologies and equivocation will only invite more bloodshed.
