Trump says Iran military leaders killed in Tehran strike

April 5, 2026   08:41 am

US President Donald Trump said on Saturday (local time) that ‘‘many’‘ of Iran’s military leaders were killed in a huge strike on the Islamic republic’s capital.

‘‘Many of Iran’s Military Leaders, who have led them poorly and unwisely, are terminated, along with much else, with this massive strike in Tehran!’‘ Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
The post included a video showing explosions lighting up a city’s skyline at night but did not specify when the military action took place.

The war erupted more than a month ago with US-Israeli strikes on Iran, triggering a retaliation that has spread the conflict throughout the Middle East and convulsed the global economy.
