MUST SEE: New Photos Show President Trump And Marco Rubio During Iran Strikes

Stunning new photos released Saturday afternoon are giving Americans a behind-the-scenes look at the leadership team that oversaw one of the most consequential military operations in modern history.

The images show President Donald Trump seated at a conference table at Mar-a-Lago, wearing a white “USA” cap, alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio as U.S. and Israeli forces carried out the strikes that ultimately eliminated Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The operation, which targeted more than 30 key Iranian regime sites and senior leaders, has already reshaped the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East.

The photos reveal an intense and focused atmosphere. Maps of the region, secure communications devices, and senior advisers surround the president as battle damage assessments came in. Rubio appears locked in, listening closely as updates were delivered.

At the same time, another image shows Vice President JD Vance seated at the head of the Situation Room table in Washington, D.C., flanked by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and senior military officials. The Vice President seal is prominently displayed behind them as they monitored the unfolding operation in real time.

Water bottles, briefing folders, and secure screens line the table as America’s national security leadership coordinated across locations.

Earlier Saturday, Fox News confirmed that Khamenei was killed in the strikes, citing senior Israeli officials familiar with battle damage assessments. Channel 12 in Israel reported that the Iranian leader was inside his compound bunker system when the structure was reduced to rubble.

The operation reportedly eliminated multiple senior Iranian military officials, including IRGC Commander General Mohammad Pakpour and Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh.

Iranian officials initially claimed Khamenei was alive but provided no proof. By mid-afternoon Eastern Time, confirmation came that his body had been recovered.

The release of these photos adds a dramatic layer to the historic moment. Rather than relying solely on official statements, Americans are now seeing the command centers and the faces of those guiding the mission.

With Iran’s decades-long theocratic regime now facing unprecedented instability, the geopolitical ripple effects are only beginning.
