The White House has released images of Donald Trump monitoring the strikes on Iran from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
The president launched ‘Operation Epic Fury’ on Saturday morning that reportedly resulted in the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The US operation was done in conjunction with the Israeli military.
One photo taken from situation room shows CIA Director John Ratcliffe briefing the president while Marco Rubio and Susie Wiles listen in.
Another image shows Vice President JD Vance at a separation situation room alongside top Trump officials, including National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard.
Trump was spotted dancing at his Florida country club prior to raining bombs on Iran.
As the song ‘God Bless the USA’ played, the president danced briefly to the song before bidding the guests farewell, telling them he had to go back to work.
In an interview with NBC News, the president addressed reports that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in airstrikes today, saying, “We feel that that is a correct story.”
He added that “most” of Iran’s senior leadership is “gone,” saying, “The people that make all the decisions, most of them are gone.”
