The White House announced that Iranian leaders died because they lied to the United States during important diplomatic talks. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed on Tuesday that these former leaders are “no longer on planet Earth” because they misled American officials.
She explained that these individuals had strung us along during private talks, a behaviour that President Donald Trump found completely unacceptable. The administration maintains that these leaders were targeted as a direct consequence of their dishonesty and for prolonging negotiations without genuine intent.
US–Israel Iran War News: Why Did the US Kill Iranian Leaders?
The White House claims Iranian leaders conducted secret talks while they maintained a publicly different stance. The leaders used negotiations according to Leavitt to create delays, which prevented them from achieving any actual settlement.
US President Trump declared that the war has produced regime change because US officials now interact with different and more reasonable individuals who operate in secrecy. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei died during the Tehran strike on February 28, which also killed members of his family.

US–Israel Iran War News: What did White House Secretary Karoline Leavitt Say?
Karoline Leavitt’s statement came after the White House on Monday said it is not too worried about Iran’s negative response to its 15-point proposal. Iran’s foreign ministry declared the proposal to be “unrealistic, illogical and excessive.”
“Some of the previous leaders are now no longer on planet Earth because they lied to the United States and they strung us along in negotiations, and that was unacceptable to the president, which is why many of the previous leaders were killed” she said
Is the US Still Monitoring The Iranian Leadership?
The White House maintains its vigilance on the discussions between the United States and new Iranian officials who include parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf.
Leavitt explained that these new leaders show increased willingness to negotiate because they accepted certain parts of the US 15-point proposal yet Washington will keep testing their dedication to the agreement.
The administration warned that new leaders must fulfill their concealed commitments because failure to do so will result in serious “military consequences.” The United States executes its ongoing military operations through “intense targeted strikes” that it deploys as part of its present military strategy.
US President Trump proposed that other nations in the region should assist with the expenses of the war because the United States needs to cover high military costs.

US President Donald Trump on Monday warned that the US could destroy Iran’s energy facilities and other important infrastructure, including desalination plants, if a deal to stop the conflict is not reached soon.
He also said in an interview with the New York Post that the US is in talks with Iran’s parliamentary speaker, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf. However, Qalibaf denied this and said Iran is not negotiating with the US. He claimed that the talks arranged through Pakistan were only a cover for American troop movements.
Israel has launched military operations in southern Lebanon to combat Hezbollah fighters who receive support from Iran. The fighters have been launching rockets and operating drones from their base across the border.
Israeli officials said the military operation could continue for a long time. In southern Lebanon, three UN peacekeepers died within 24 hours, but the identity of their attackers remains unknown.
