A U.S.-led strike killed Iran’s Supreme Leader, sparking political backlash and concerns over escalation.

According to unconfirmed reports, President Trump and Israeli officials confirmed that the US-led strike on Iran killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The operation, dubbed Operation Epic Fury, sparked bipartisan criticism for its legality and executive overreach, with lawmakers demanding congressional oversight. Critics questioned Trump's judgment and mental fitness, and Vice President JD Vance was reportedly sidelined. The attack, billed as a war of choice to promote regime change, sparked fears of regional escalation. Meanwhile, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is under fire for plans to spend $300 million in border funds on a luxury jet fleet.
