FACT-CHECK: U.S. Destroys Iran's UN 'Lies' After Supreme Leader Strike

The United States didn't hedge — it called Tehran out by name, publicly torching what it says are flat-out lies from the Iranian regime in a blunt, point-by-point takedown posted by U.S. Central Command, just hours after the joint United States–Israel operation that eliminated Iran's supreme leader. 

The fact-checking barrage comes in the wake of the coordinated strike by the United States and Israel that took out Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a move officials have framed as a decisive blow against what they describe as the regime's decades-long campaign of terror and regional destabilization.
