Congresswoman Tenney’s Statement on the Death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei

Washington, DC – Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24) today released the following statement on the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei after a targeted Israeli strike in Tehran.

“The Ayatollah is dead, and the world is safer without him. Good riddance,” said Congresswoman Tenney. “His decades of terrorism, tyranny, and regional destabilization brought suffering to millions and threatened America and our allies. This is a great day for the United States of America and all our regional allies. May the regime of terror he built fall with him, and may the Iranian people finally have the opportunity to reclaim their country and chart a future defined by freedom and peace. Thank you to our brave servicemembers and to President Trump for executing this operation with strength and precision and for standing with the courageous people of Iran.”
