Hegseth Says Iranian Leader Who Coordinated Trump Assassination Attempt Killed in US Strike Pentagon officials have confirmed that a high-ranking Iranian military leader, accused of coordinating the failed assassination attempt against President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago earlier this month, was killed in a US military strike in Syria. The news comes as a significant victory for the White House, which had vowed to hold accountable those responsible for the attempted attack. According to sources familiar with the operation, the Iranian leader, identified as General Hassan Shateri, was targeted by a precision-guided missile fired from an F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft. The strike occurred in the early hours of Wednesday morning, local time, and was part of a broader effort to disrupt Iranian-backed terrorist operations in the region. Fox News host Pete Hegseth, who has been a vocal supporter of Trump's national security agenda, took to Twitter to celebrate the news, boasting that "articles" were just getting started. His tweet read: "Just got word that the IRGC leader behind the Mar-a-Lago assassination plot was eliminated in a US strike tonight. That's what I call 'results'." The attempted assassination at Mar-a-Lago occurred on January 29 when a pair of Iranian operatives, posing as maintenance workers, were arrested after attempting to gain access to the president's private quarters. The incident sparked widespread outrage and calls for action against those responsible. In response to the news, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany issued a statement praising the US military's swift and decisive action. "The United States will not tolerate attempts on its leaders' lives," she said. "We will continue to hold accountable those who seek to harm our people...#Donald_Trump #Syria #IRGC #Mar_a_Lago #Hassan_Shateri #US_Military #F_15E_Strike_Eagle
