Adam Schiff Attacks President Trump For Taking Out Iran’s Supreme Leader (VIDEO)
Democrat Senator Adam Schiff (CA) attacked President Trump on Sunday and said he had no right to take out Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei.
Schiff appeared on ABC’s “This Week” with host George Stephanopoulos to discuss the US-Israel strikes on Iran.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei and more than 40 top Iranian leaders were killed in the US-Israel military operation on Saturday.
Stephanopoulos asked Schiff if Trump had the right to eliminate Khamenei.
“[Khamenei] launched attacks around the world for almost 40 years, so is the President right to take him out?” Stephanopoulos asked Schiff.
Schiff said President Trump had no right to take him out because he posed “no imminent threat” to the United States.
The Iranian Regime has chanted “Death to America” for years but Schiff said they didn’t pose a threat to the United States.
“No, you’re right about the Ayatollah – he was a brutal dictator, this is a murderous regime, but at the same time, it posed no imminent threat,” Schiff said of

On Saturday evening, President Trump fired a warning shot at Iran.
“Iran just stated that they are going to hit very hard today, harder than they have ever hit before. THEY BETTER NOT DO THAT, HOWEVER, BECAUSE IF THEY DO, WE WILL HIT THEM WITH A FORCE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE! Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” Trump said on Truth Social.
On Sunday, President Trump said the US destroyed 9 Iranian Naval Ships.
“I have just been informed that we have destroyed and sunk 9 Iranian Naval Ships, some of them relatively large and important. We are going after the rest — They will soon be floating at the bottom of the sea, also! In a different attack, we largely destroyed their Naval Headquarters. Other than that, their Navy is doing very well! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP,” Trump said.
