Following the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, President Donald Trump has warned that a third wave of military attacks is coming for Iran. The President claimed that previous U.S.-Israeli strikes have already “knocked out” Iran’s navy, air force, and radar systems.

It is a sad decision between the unknown and the unbearable to other people.
