“Watch What Happens to These Deranged Scumbags Today!” – President Trump Warns Iran
President Donald Trump posted a message on TRUTH Social Friday morning directed at Iran’s ruling leadership, warning them that more action against them was imminent. In the post, Trump said the United States was aggressively confronting the Iranian government and suggested major developments were about to unfold later in the day.
In his message, Trump argued that the United States has been steadily dismantling Iran’s military capabilities. He claimed that Iranian naval and air forces have effectively been wiped out and that the country’s missile and drone programs are being heavily destroyed. Trump also criticized coverage from The New York Times, saying its reporting gives the impression that the United States is losing ground when, according to him, the opposite is happening.
Trump wrote that the United States possesses overwhelming military strength, ample supplies, and the patience to continue operations. He warned Iran’s leadership to “watch what happens” next and accused the regime of being responsible for violence against innocent people around the world for decades. Trump said that as the 47th President of the United States, he is now taking direct action against those responsible.

Meanwhile, reports are circulating about major developments within Iran’s leadership. The country’s former Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was reportedly killed during airstrikes carried out by a joint U.S.-Israeli operation.
Following his death, Iranian media reported that his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, had been selected to take over as the nation’s new Supreme Leader. However, conflicting information has surfaced suggesting Mojtaba may have been seriously injured during the same wave of strikes.

Initial reports from Iranian television indicated that Mojtaba Khamenei had been wounded, and the story has since been repeated by several international outlets, including British and Israeli media organizations. Some accounts claim his injuries were severe, raising questions about whether Iran may have named a leader who is unable to serve.
According to additional reports, Mojtaba issued what was described as his first written directive as Supreme Leader, allegedly calling for Iran to “weaponize the Strait of Hormuz.” The statement has raised concerns about the potential escalation of tensions in the region.
Despite the reports about his appointment and the written order attributed to him, Mojtaba Khamenei has not appeared publicly. Claims circulating in various reports suggest he may have lost a leg during the airstrikes and could be in a coma.
As these conflicting reports continue to spread, uncertainty remains about the true condition of Iran’s new leader and the stability of the country’s leadership structure following the strikes.
