Trump: Mojtaba Khamenei "90% gone"

U.S. President Donald Trump said on July 13 that Iran's top military commanders had been killed and claimed that Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was "90% gone."

Speaking in an interview with Fox News, Trump said Iran's military capabilities had been largely destroyed, Iran International reports. 

“They have no navy, they have no air force, it's all gone. Their anti-aircraft is gone, their leaders have all been killed, their best leaders have been killed,” Trump said.

Trump also made a brief reference to Mojtaba Khamenei, saying: “Khamenei is gone, the son is 90% gone.”
