U.S. President Trump Announces Extended Strikes on Iran

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that continuous strikes on Iran will persist for a week or longer. According to PANews, the White House has also declared a halt to all travel and photography activities, indicating that President Trump will not engage in any face-to-face interactions with reporters on that day. Furthermore, President Trump stated that Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei is "dead," and affirmed that the bombings by the U.S. and Israel on Iran will continue. However, a spokesperson for Iran's Foreign Ministry refuted these claims, asserting that both Supreme Leader Khamenei and President Pezheshkian are "safe and sound." A source close to the Iranian Supreme Leader's office also confirmed that Khamenei is "firmly and steadily in control of the situation."
