0:00.0	Hey, everybody. It is Saturday, February 28th. You're listening to a breaking news edition of the Mo News podcast. I'm Mosheununu.
0:10.9	And I'm Jill Wagner. We are coming to you on Saturday night, less than 24 hours after the United States and Israel launched a massive attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran. We will do our best to
0:22.2	break down what we know, what we don't know. And Moshe, at this hour, President Trump says the
0:28.9	Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini, is dead. Yeah, it came out in the last couple of hours
0:35.3	from Israelis who say they got images of his body being removed from the bunker into Iran.
0:40.4	We should note as of this recording, the Iranian regime still has not confirmed this.
0:44.2	And then Trump putting out a statement in the last few minutes, confirming that Hamene, quote, one of the most evil people in history is dead.
0:51.7	This is not only justice for the people of Iran, but for all great
0:54.4	Americans, and those people from many countries throughout the world that have been killed or
0:58.2	mutilated by Chaminet and his gang of bloodthirsty thugs. We'll talk more about his statement
1:03.5	in just a second here, but a pretty significant operation here, taking out the 86-year-old
1:09.3	supreme leader. He's led Iran for
1:12.0	35 plus years since 1989. In fact, there's only been two Ayatollahs, two Supreme Leaders,
1:17.5	since the Islamic Revolution of 79. There was Ayatollah Khomeini and Hataytelah Khomeini,
1:23.5	who took over in 89. And it wasn't just Khomeini.
1:29.6	It was potential successors here.
1:36.9	The Israelis and the Americans say anywhere up to top 40 Iranian leaders were taken out in this operation,
1:41.7	probably one of the largest decapitation strikes in military history and modern military history.
1:44.3	We know that the Israeli intelligence services have infiltrated the Iranian government for years. It's one of the reasons they were so successful
1:48.1	last June. So they apparently knew where everybody was going to be. Meetings were taking place
1:53.8	early on Saturday morning in Tehran. We'll get more into the operation here in a second. But
1:59.6	Jill, as we're recording this,
