Regarding Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, Trump confirmed earlier reports that he has not been heard from, adding that “he’s very seriously injured.”

"Anyone who sees Mojtaba Khamenei emerging from the bunker and raising a white flag – that’s not a scenario that will happen," Zimmet said.

Trump also threatened to attack Kharg Island and the desalination plants that supply clean water in Iran.

According to the IDF, over 80 munitions were dropped on weapon production, research, and development sites responsible for creating weapons used to attack Israel.

While the decision has not yet been made, Trump remains open to the idea, US officials told WSJ. However, he is taking into account the danger such an operation would pose to US troops. 

The report noted that the damage to the tower was caused by shrapnel striking the facility, and that the authorities were working to restore power in the affected areas.

The message did not include any evidence that Khamenei, who has not been publicly seen since the war began last month, is alive.

The Jewish Institute for National Security of America reported that the main concern for the US and Israel in the coming weeks of the war is the impending shortage of interceptors.

The state-affiliated Tehran Times, citing “an Iranian security analyst,” reported that in the event of a US ground attack, Iran would seize the coastlines of the UAE and Bahrain.
