Trump Believes Iran's Leader Jamenei Is Alive, Claims 'Great Victory' Imminent

U.S. President Donald Trump stated his belief that Iran's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Jamenei, remains alive despite suffering severe injuries. Jamenei has not appeared publicly since assuming leadership following his father's assassination in February.

“

I don't think he's dead. He was badly injured. The left side of his body, his arm, his leg, everything. He was badly injured. But I don't think he's dead.

"I don't think he's dead. He was badly injured. The left side of his body, his arm, his leg, everything. He was badly injured. But I don't think he's dead," Trump said in an interview with conservative radio host Glenn Beck. Officially, Jamenei continues to lead Iran amidst ongoing pressure from the United States and Israel. However, his absence from public view and the rise of veteran figures within the Revolutionary Guards have fueled speculation about his condition or potential loss of full control.

Those things are heading toward a great victory. We're going to have a great victory here very soon.

Trump, who has repeatedly proclaimed victory over Iran without achieving key objectives like opening the Strait of Hormuz or securing nuclear materials, asserted that the ongoing military and economic pressure is effective. "Those things are heading toward a great victory," he said. "We're going to have a great victory here very soon."

The strait is open. We're getting a lot of ships through the strait now.

Furthermore, Trump insisted that the Strait of Hormuz, where Iranian forces have disrupted maritime traffic, is actually completely open. "The strait is open. We're getting a lot of ships through the strait now," he stated. He reiterated the U.S. objective of preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, emphasizing, "We cannot allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. That's what this is all about. That's 99.9%. We can't allow it because they are crazy and they are going to use it." Trump added that he had already stopped them "twice."
