The American president vowed that the US will go after the rest and they will end up at the bottom of the sea.

This was disclosed via the White House X handle @WhiteHouse on Sunday, March 1, 206.

"I have just been informed that we have destroyed and sunk 9 Iranian Naval Ships, some of them relatively large and important. We are going after the rest — They will soon be floating at the bottom of the sea, also!" In a different attack, we largely destroyed their Naval Headquarters. Other than that, their Navy is doing well."

@Collins_dukeman

Imagine your tax dollars funding another overseas conflict. Why does the U.S. keep choosing involvement in global crises instead of focusing inward? What’s the deeper reason we’re not being told?

@Flat6Banger

Tried hard not to cry this morning, praying for this man and our troops. Voted for this man THREE times, got ridiculed, called racist, all kinds of names just for being a white guy in a Trump hat who believed in him. Today, I know I was right about him all along. God bless Trump.

@hosny_dzed

They had good reason to celebrate Trump's victory in the last election. They knew who he would serve, unlike the Americans who were duped.

Iran is fighting for their sovereignty and dignity. God bless Iran #Iran #Tehran #Khamenei.

In addition to the ships, the president stated that American forces destroyed a large part of Iran's Naval Headquarters in a separate attack.

Gumi reacts to Iran's Khamenei’s Death

Recall that Kaduna-based Islamic scholar Ahmad Gumi reacted to the reported killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei.

Gumi described the late Iranian leader as “a lucky soul,” stating that he died in what he termed " jihad " while defending oppressed people.

The cleric’s comments have added to growing international reactions following the news of Khamenei’s death, which has drawn attention across political and religious circles globally.

Last X Post of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei

Legit.ng earlier reported that Iran’s Khamenei confirmed dead following coordinated US-Israel strikes on Tehran, marking a dramatic escalation in regional tensions.

Hours earlier, President Donald Trump had declared the cleric’s killing, describing it as “the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their country”.

A symbolic post on X, invoking Imam Ali, appeared from Khamenei’s verified account soon after, fuelling debate over its meaning and timing.
