Iran vowsto punish Trump for killing Supreme Leader Khamenei

Iran has vowed to punish US President Donald Trump for the February 28 air strike that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The Islamic Republic issued this threat via X (Twitter) on March 7, 2026, one week after the attack. "We will punish Trump for assassinating Supreme Leader Khamenei. We will never let him go," the statement declared. The conflict has resulted in over 28,000 Americans evacuated from the Middle East, with six US soldiers killed and numerous Iranians reported dead. An X user, @sixtoninee, commented that "Trump deserves this" and predicted Iran would follow through, citing Persian bravery and criticizing US efforts to change the regime. Iran's security chief, Larijani, previously stated the US expected Iran to collapse like Venezuela but instead strengthened the regime. The vow escalates tensions as Iran continues missile attacks on Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE.
