Martina Navratilova blasts Donald Trump before | Sports News

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova appeared to have a change of coronary heart after initially branding President Donald Trump a “psychopath” for attacking Iran.

On Saturday, the United States and Israel launched a coordinated missile assault on Iran, dubbed “Operation Epic Fury.” Later that afternoon, senior Israeli officers and Trump introduced that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei — Iran’s supreme chief — had been killed in an airstrike focusing on his compound in Tehran.

Before Khamenei’s death was formally confirmed, Navratilova expressed her disapproval of Trump’s resolution to strike Iran. “OMG… Trump is a psychopath- he totally doesn’t give a damn how many people he is personally responsible for killing,” she wrote in response to an X post wherein Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green equally criticized the assault. Meanwhile, Dave Portnoy blasted “traitors” after Trump’s devastating strikes on Iran.

Yet in a subsequent post, Navratilova voiced her assist for the killing of Khamenei. Responding to early experiences suggesting the 86-year-old may very well be lifeless, she wrote: “That would be good news.”

Taking to Truth Social, Trump affirmed that Khamenei handed away during the missile barrage. “Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead,” the POTUS wrote. “This is not only Justice for the people of Iran, but for all Great Americans, and those people from many Countries throughout the World, that have been killed or mutilated by Khamenei and his gang of bloodthirsty THUGS.”

Trump said that Khamenei was “unable to avoid our Intelligence and Highly Sophisticated Tracking Systems and, working closely with Israel, there was not a thing he, or the other leaders that have been killed along with him, could do.”

The 79-year-old described this pivotal second in historical past as “the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their Country,” while additionally claiming that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) are pursuing immunity from the U.S.

“We are hearing that many of their IRGC, Military, and other Security and Police Forces, no longer want to fight, and are looking for Immunity from us,” he continued. “As I said last night, ‘Now they can have Immunity, later they only get Death!'”

This is hardly the primary time that Navratilova has butted heads with Trump on social media. Back in January, she slammed the United States’ assault on Venezuela and subsequent seize of Nicolas Maduro. “He is absolutely insane. Not to mention this is completely illegal,” Navratilova mentioned of Trump on the time. “Peace president my a–! Trump is breaking more laws than all the previous presidents combined. A serial criminal on so many different fronts!”

On more than one event, Navratilova has likened Trump’s regime to the communist authorities in her homeland, Czechoslovakia, which she fled in 1975 to flee Soviet rule. Last June, the 69-year-old expressed concern that the U.S. had turn into a “totalitarian” state that wouldn’t have let her in during the Cold War.

“I’m not loyal to Donald Trump,” she advised BBC. “If I were now still in that same position [as in 1975] and I had to go live somewhere, it would not be America, because it’s not a democracy at the moment.”
