“Khamenei, one of the most evil people in history, is dead. This is not only justice for the Iranian people, but for all the great Americans and people in many countries around the world who have been killed or maimed by Khamenei and his gang of bloodthirsty thugs,” Trump wrote on the Truth Social platform.

Minutes after the death of the Iranian leader was announced, some areas of the US capital were filled with colorful flags and people chanting thanks to the New York tycoon for overthrowing the harsh figure who forced them to migrate to the United States in search of freedom.

Since 1989, Ali Khamenei served as the supreme leader of Iran and was considered the highest political and religious authority in the country, above the president.

When he assumed power, replacing Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, leader of the Islamic Revolution, faced the challenge of a country that had recently concluded a war with Iraq, and there was enormous uncertainty about its future. However, he used an iron fist to subdue the population, preventing any manifestation that smacked of democracy during the three decades of his regime. Having absolute control over the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government, as well as the army and the media, nothing happened without reaching his ears. Under this approach, freedom of expression in Iran was virtually nonexistent, and those who leaked information considered threatening to the country's future ended up imprisoned, regardless of whether they were wealthy individuals, journalists, or even students.

Regarding the role of women, Ali Khamenei has always relegated them to a secondary role and even severely suppressed the “Woman, Life, Freedom” movement of 2022-2023.

Now, those same Iranians living in the United States are questioning what the future holds for them from a nation considered hostile not only to the Middle East, but to the rest of the world.
