Britney Spears‘ Iranian American ex-husband Sam Asghari is applauding America for joining forces with Israel and striking Iran Saturday … even saying he’s glad the country’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead!
Check out the clip — the actor and model held no words back as he reflected on the massive military mission launched today … saying his home country’s government being wiping out is “justified.”
And he doesn’t hesitate to applaud Khamenei’s death specifically, saying it was “deserved” and that he deserved a larger punishment than death alone.
Khamenei assumed almost total control over Iran during his nearly 4 decades in power … and was known to be a ruthless leader who suppressed anyone who opposed him, and is accused of mismanaging the country’s economics and isolating its people.
Sam said the regime needed to be dismantled “at any cost” but says he hopes the death toll remains as low as possible.
The “Can You Keep a Secret?” star shared a similar sentiment when TMZ caught up with him earlier Saturday, telling us he’s thankful for the American military personnel for helping freen the Iranian people. He added … “Your sacrifice protects the freedoms that gave me my life and my opportunities. I’m proud to be an American.”
On the other hand, he said “war is never a good thing” … and is praying for “a peaceful outcome, for the protection of innocent lives, and for a future where freedom and peace win.”
As we mentioned, America and the IDF launched attacks on Iran Saturday to topple the regime in Tehran after they began rebuilding their vault of nuclear weapons the U.S. claimed to have destroyed last year.
President Donald Trump announced Khamenei’s demise on Truth Social while criticizing him as “one of the most evil people in History.” He also said several other Iranian leaders were also killed.
