A San Diego naval veteran who spent almost two years being tortured in captivity in Iran has spoken of his hopes following the death of Ayatollah Khamenei — and revealed he issued an impassioned plea to President Trump just weeks ago. Michael White, captured by the Islamic regime’s forces in July 2018 while visiting his fiancée in Iran, said he wrote to the commander in chief just weeks before the US launched “Operation Epic Fury” on the rogue nation, urging him to act. “Elated, celebratory,” White said of his feelings about Khamenei’s death, almost six years after the US State Department arranged for his release in June 2020.
