THE AYATOLLAH HAS BEEN KILLED

 

After earlier reports saying the Ayatollah had escaped from Teheran confirmed reports are now coming out that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who had ruled Iran for 36 years with an iron fist has been killed in the first air strikes that hit Teheran and Iran yesterday 28th February 2026. President Trump has also reiterated this point. 

The first air strikes happened in the morning in full daylight In Teheran. The Israeli Air Force took off at dawn from Israel when it was already daylight in Teheran. Teheran is two hours ahead of Tel Aviv. Flight time was under two hours to Teheran. 

The first strikes were against Iranian air defences using stand off bombs, air to ground missiles and electronic radar jamming planes. The Iranian air defences have been effectively neutralised because till now no Israeli or American warplanes have been shot down.  Just like last year the Israelis and Americans have complete air superiority over Iranian skies.

Simultaneously the Israelis carried out decapitation strikes against at least 36 high value Iranian targets including the ayatollah. The 36 high value targets were fired upon within 30 seconds of each other during the very first wave. The first Israeli strike used 200 war planes which fired or dropped 500 missiles and bombs. The total number of strikes so far (about 24 hours) has seen thousands of bombs and missiles fired on Teheran and throughout Iran. Military targets in Tabriz in the north and Kermanshah have also been hit. 

The Iranians have reported that one school had been hit and five school children have been killed. No other Iranian reports about civilian deaths have been reported.

In retaliation the Iranian IRGC has fired rockets into Israel, Dubai, Kuwait, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Bahrain, Qatar and Iraq. Dubai International Airport has been closed. The airspace over Dubai, Qatar, Abu Dhabi have all been closed. Some injuries have been reported and minor damage. One person has been killed in the UAE. The damage caused by Iran is negligible.

Here is a must watch 13 minute video that explains the mechanics of the strike.

 

Bottom line is the late Saddam Hussein, the late Muammar Khaddafy, Bashar Assad in Syria, Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah, the Saudis, the UAE, the Egyptians, the Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, the ISIS, the Al Qaeda, the Pakistani generals, the ayatollahs in Iran - they are not men of war. And they are certainly not a warrior race. They like to think they are but the fact that they have been getting their asses kicked for the past 500 years or so is solid proof that they do not have the capacity to wage war. Other than tribal skirmishes and local border disputes. 

There is an old Malay saying that goes 'Gajah berak besar, kancil pun nak berak besar akhirnya mati kebebangan' .   

Finally this scenario will not happen:
