According to multiple confirmations following visible evidence of his body, news is now widely spreading throughout the middle east that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is DEAD.
This could rapidly escalate an end to the U.S. military operation, through regime change. We await confirmation of this news from President Donald Trump.
The very first strikes in Tehran by Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) were targeted to the power circle in control of government in Iran.
In a nationally televised address, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu just said the strikes had targeted the compound of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
“There are growing signs that the tyrant is no longer alive,” Netanyahu said. However, earlier today, Iran’s foreign minister told NBC News that the country’s supreme leader and president were alive “as far as I know.”
Several of Iran’s top military leaders and family members of Khamenei are confirmed to have been killed, which seems to explain the unfocused attacks by Iran toward a host of middle east nations including Israel, Bahrain, Dubai, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in an Israeli airstrike this morning on Iran, with his body being found recently among the rubble, Israeli officials tell The Times of Israel. {Source}
Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin, an Israeli military spokesperson, says the strikes also killed other senior Iranian officials. Defrin says they included the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the defense minister, the head of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s military bureau and the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council. {Source}
U.S. President Donald Trump has spoken with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, after the strikes on Iran, according to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

CUT THE CORD!!!!
Of course he’s gone.
Khameneni assumed several thousand degrees temperature as he departed mortality. While democRats in NYC & DC Protest LOL
Too Late, So Sad, and I’m Glad
It’s hotter than that where he’s at now.
Hopefully a woman pulled the trigger.
Has the ayatollah been gifted his 72 virgin goats as promised?
It’s actually very hard to find a virgin goat in that part of the world.
He is gone. 47 years of terror and now Iran can experience some freedom. It was no accident that America won gold in both men and women hockey. And also the birthday of your first President on February 22. You win gold on Sunday, and you take out a modern day HAMAN on Saturday. That is America being first – NOT BECAUSE of FAVORITISM – but because of calling.
Thank you Lord for President Trump and Your Jeremiah 1:10 mantle on him.
As a Canadian I can assure you that Gold going to both the men and women was extremely hard for many Canadians to swallow.
I was thrilled. So proud of President Trump for his courageous and bold stand against 100% evil. Canada embraces evil. We don’t deserve a gold medal, and we do deserve all the poverty that has overtaken us. We are thoroughly and completely immoral.
DD
Yes, I prayed that America would win hockey because it would be a sign. Both games won in overtime – 2 to 1. However, just like Iran, our freedom WILL NOT COME FROM THE BALLOT BOX. Our freedom will also come from the calling on President Trump. Again pray for him – and do not PREY on him. This is a heavy mantle – but all of his days will be fulfilled – as we pray.
Praying for you and our neighbors to the north. 🙏
As long as there is One Patriot Canadian … I salute you and pray for the Redemption of All of US, and Canada.
We Will Prevail !!! Wolverines !!!
I visited Vancouver around 1998 and it was pristine!
Online videos now show a drug zombie land. Is this accurate?
Yes. It is bad on Vancouver Island. I drive through downtown Nanaimo maybe once every two weeks. I always drive slowly and on high alert because in the last three years or so I’ve come close to hitting three street addicts.
When they are high many of them ignore traffic lights and crosswalks. They often just step out onto the street without warning. I had one incident where it was a super close call.
I see addicts lining the sidewalks every time I drive in Nanaimo. I stopped going to several downtown fast food joints because I often would have an addict rapping on my window for money. Most of them are not too obnoxious that way but you never know when you might encounter someone who gets angry and retaliates when nothing is given.
I did have one guy get verbally aggressive because I refused to give him money. This happened while I was walking on the waterfront in daylight hours with several pedestrians around. I know several people who’ve had family members and friends die of fentanyl overdose. It’s really bad here.
There is a main 4 lane intersection in the downtown area that often has a very sad looking drug addict standing on the concrete lane divider with a sign begging for money from motorists stopped at a red light. I heard they are forced to do this by the drug dealers they owe money to.
p
It takes a tremendous amount of moral clarity to be able to make such a statement. Thankfully you’re not one of the Canadians that embrace the evil that permeates the Canadian elite and government.
Sir, you are a Patriot of the highest order.
Many Canadians probably deserve that description but, Dan, you surely do not! I wish you were an American!
I think Dan Dale IS an American.
What does it take to BE an American?
It’s certainly not a person’s mailing address (or a voter registration), as millions of US residents have demonstrated, year after year.
Dan Dale is an American, and an all-time favorite peep here at CTH.
He is more American than some I know…
As a Canadian I agree. Chinada did not deserve to win.
The Lefties were only nationalistic as a way of expressing their TDS.
As a fellow Canadian, I agree with EVERY SINGLE WORD. All of it! USA! USA! USA!
47 years of terror…eradicated by…#47! 🇺🇸💥🇺🇸💥🇺🇸💥🇺🇸
Another sign.
There are about 115 mullahs, or so I have been told, occupying various levels and jobs.
Better get THEM ALL.
We do not want the Theocracy to reestablish itself.
However many are left are running for their lives. The Iranian people will deal with them if they catch up to them. Their Theocracy days are over.
Well said Candace Green !
Thank you.
Accepting Flavor Flav invite highlights women’s hockey team’s hypocrisy
Apparently, every member of the gold-medal winning U.S. women’s hockey team despises Donald Trump, which is their right, no matter how dubious that seems. Group peer pressure, perhaps?
And showing up at the White House might be deemed by fools as an endorsement of Trump rather than respect for the office first held by George Washington.
Instead, the women have accepted an invite to celebrate their accomplishment with rapper Flavor Flav in Vegas, with a reported free ride from Alaska Airlines.
Apparently these female athletes favor Mr. Flav over the White House, despite a bio that shows him to exhibit the courage to follow through on his women-degrading lyrics. Here goes:
The former ticket-scalper spent nine weeks in Rikers Island for driving on a suspended license, unpaid parking tickets and being late to probation hearings.
In 1991, he pleaded guilty to assaulting his girlfriend, spent 30 more days in jail and lost custody of his children.
Oh, children. He has an unknown number — at least eight — by at least four women.
In 1993, he was charged with attempted murder and jailed 90 days for shooting at his neighbor.
That same year he was again charged with domestic violence to which he pleaded guilty, and to possession of cocaine. He entered the Betty Ford Center for treatment of his crack addiction, which he estimated to be $2,600 a day.
In 2021, he was again arrested for domestic battery, but that charge was dropped when he pleaded no contest to a lesser charge.
In 2012, Flav pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors stemming from threats to his girlfriend and her teenage son, who he threatened to stab.
He has been arrested on outstanding warrants, and/or for driving without a license and insurance to the tune of 16 driving suspensions.
He has been arrested for DWI speeding, too. He was even nailed, no fooling, for speeding en route to his mother’s funeral on Long Island in 2014, later pleading guilty to unlicensed aggravated operation of a motor vehicle.
So when you read Flav’s unprintably vulgar, boastful, N-laced, women-trashing but Super Bowl/Roger Goodell-eligible lyrics, we know Flav has the courage of his musical convictions.
Though none of the above bio found its way into mainstream news media updates on Flava Flav’s invite — some facts about some people be damned! — this is apparently who the women’s victorious U.S. team chooses to represent and celebrate their achievement.
By the way, if Flav performs one of his hits at this bash, will the lyrics be posted so the women’s team and live audience can rap along? U-S-A! U-S-A!
Thank you for your very informative post!
Maybe they should bomb it again. Y’know, just to be certain.
Look at the precision. Total destruction, and the neighbor’s house is fine.
That’s what I like to see.
Partly because of the destruction, but mostly because of the different perspectives and cropping I cannot confirm by eye that those are actually the same.
The left picture shows no neighboring buildings (too cropped) and shows water in the background.
The right picture shows buildings on all sides, and is too tightly shot or too cropped to show the water.
The correct picture is on X but alas I don’t have ablilty to show link. The bombing he died in was the Leadership House, not the palace…
Having watched and listened to whatever news I could this morning I was wondering about this very topic.
Is Kahmenei dead?
Could not help but wonder why our military would attack when it did if Kahmenei was not the main target, cutting the head off the snake, so to speak.
Please pray for our military commanders and our troops. And please pray for the Iranian people who want to be free of the regime that has killed so many of them for protesting against the evil regime.
It would seem that first they have to make ‘absolute’ that he was dead but also President Trump is doing this for the people and leaving a bunch of loyal military to that man would only add more killing of the citizens. In other words, they’re cleaning house.
Schrödinger’s Khamenei.
Good riddance evil scum!
Removed from the census.
But probably voting in American elections.
An Iranian friend who retired from Intel’s New Mexico plant just informed me that the Supreme Leader Khamenei had been whisked out of Iran two days ago to hole up in Obama’s new “Tower of Pain & Suffering” (design stolen from England’s Tower of London) in Chicago… where he is now learning drywall skills and the proper milking of goats.
Told him I thought he was joking because Valerie Jarrett has not been seen in days since entering that monument of ugliness.
It looks like a portal to the underworld, so I assume Jarrett feels completely at home.
More like a coming headstone.
First reports I heard said that he escaped and was in hiding. I questioned where he could hide. Dead works for me.
Heard from where, exactly?
i’ll take the overs on 1000 pieces
Not conflicting. He is dead. His body is on video. By the way, it’s not only him. The list is long.
And the coalition list will be growing….
👆
Thank you Ad rem!
BLESSINGS
They are striking civilian areas everywhere. They also hit an apartment building in Dubai.
He’s finally meeting the 72 Virginians he was promised and they are kicking his butt right now. Not the welcoming party he was expecting.
Virginians? 🤔Freudian slip?
I’m really jealous! 😉
Hope one of them will be VA governor Spanberger. Gak — that would be punishment indeed.
Actually I was thinking Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and a host of others!

Is “Mazel Tov” appropriate for celebrations such as this?? 😀

Job well done!
Yes. We celebrate the Ester Story every year for thousands of years. In the story they hang Haman who wanted to genocide the Jews. Haman and Khamenei similar.
PRAISES!
Continued BLESSINGS on Israel and the USA
FA and FO!
The greater chances is that he’s dead.
The United States and Israel struck Iran before they had a chance to get him out of the country or hide him underground somewhere.
stay tuned. we’ve assumed information that isn’t precise with receipts. I give it a 90 percent confidence rating that even IF he was not killed, his leadership is not subject to Iranian People who would on their own accord drag this criminal and human disaster into the streets and hang his body for days until his corpse is pecked clean by crows.
let this be a lesson for morally repugnant caliphate Islamic state. ( communism pretending to have allah as its spiritual determination).
we THE PEOPLE are coming to save you from this reprobates. we do this to HONOR GOD and to be just. In return for this actr of sacrifice to you?
begin your nation respecting Christ and not Allah. Allah is a heretic. You have always know this. You have always feared questioning the obvious contradictions..the perverse idealogue.
this is your moment Iran..identify with your ancient spiritual roots and make the rest of the world more open and free.
God Bless America
Gateway Pundit’s headline says, “Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is confirmed DEAD – Israeli Officials Say His Body Has Been Found”
Since the Israeli officials who say that remain anonymous, I’ll take that headline with a grain of Dead Sea salt!
Jake
Not sure why they would lie about his death, but time will tell. If he is alive we will here from him.soon, he is not one to keep his mouth shut. You know death to America and all that stuff.
Iran still has a sizeable minority native Jewish population. I am willing to bet that many of those people are informants or stringers for Mossad.
I think this framework perspective is essentially accurate:
PDJT might be a ruthless, calculating mob boss; but he’s our ruthless, calculating mob boss.
Please continue to take out the people who oppose the USA, as efficiently as possible, with the most deadly force possible.
We can offer you the silver or the lead. Your choice.
And the boss is on our side. Praise the lord.
Plata o plomo.
We will succeed. Now do..well- nevermind.
I think Trump will be successful because he goes all out. He made short work of ISIS during his first term. He gives the military the freedom to do it right the first time. It’s also an opportunity for other rogue countries with death to America inclinations to watch and fear. Military might wielded decisively is a strong deterrent to terrorism just as a strong justice system deters crime. We keep seeing this phenomena over and over again. Enabling and showing mercy to unrepentant evil doers just causes evil to grow and flourish. The innocent suffer. Strong consequences keep our societies and innocent civilians safe.
100%
May The LORD’S MIGHTY HAND continue to BLESS & GUIDE we PRAY, AMEN, AMEN, & AMEN
Presidents only have so much political capital to spend. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. But the upside for PDJT’s political capital in this case is huge.
Well, Khamenei is dead, so there’s that.
Good riddance. The only downside is that there won’t be an ace of spades in the “most-wanted Iran playing cards” desk now.
He’s dead, Jim.
Now that’s funny!!! 🤣
He’s rung down the curtain and summoned the Choir Invisible.
This is an EX=Supreme Leader!
LOL. The much sought – after Norwegian Blue parrot. “Pining for the fjords…”
I want to see that demonic tyrant’s body (or what remains of him) hung by one of those cranes for the world to see. The Iranian people deserve this.
Is Fake is now leading the media and confirming everything going on ?
What about the command center for our Navy 5th fleet in that area ?
Benny the Bully got any news ?
Fox News is reporting that the coalition of anti-Trump nonprofits that have been leading the Anti-ICE protests notified its network to mobilize against Operation Epic Fury.
They knew about the strikes even before they were announced, likely because they were notified by their Chinese Communist Party allies overseas.
If true, it was a very clever move by Team Trump, who seem to be shaping the next battlefield, only this time it will be the domestic DS forces that get clobbered.
Congress was notified, and it leaks like the proverbial seive.
it need to be clearly stated. It IS unwise to kill the “so called supreme leader”. Why, lets examine the Osama killing for reference.
to kill such an important figure of the Islamic state, the caliphate, is a mistake.
to capture such a person and yes waterboard them relentlessly is the proper way to get
A FULL UNDERSTANDING WITH ANSWERS THAT CAN ONLY COME FROM SOMEONE WHO CAN KNOW AND CAN CONFESS.
if there is a need for war, know this. the caliphate hates Christians. mark that. No, they hate and dehumanize as a death cult against anyone and everyone who does not follow alah.
we have a meaning for that. Its’ called evil incarnate.
this much be crushed…so crush the beans out of this heretic and let him finally speak the truth about co cons.
then he will have the permission to suffocate to death…then he will be delivered to the Lord of ALL LORDS, the father of Jesus, the Only ONE that exists.
heathen is not an ordinary term used these days. It bothers people because it’s been lost in interpretation and casual modern language.
the ayatollah IS a heathen. he deserves to be treated as a base animal
God Bless America
I lived in a predominantly Sunni Muslim country for 6 years. The Sunnis seemed to dislike Shia Muslims more than they do Christians. They allowed Christian churches to be built in the country, but would not allow Shia Muslim mosques to be built there.
I live in south Lousiana, a soveriegn state of the so called “Re
public”.
My religion IS JESUS CHRIST, WHO I HAVE 100 percent faith.
I can accomodate other religious variants of the same….but what I cannot and will never be allowed to consider and allow is that the muslim whorde, the caliphate, the base Islamic religion itself.
it opposes all the things that are fundamental to a natural free state of being.
you do realize that your so called bible describes in detail how the so called prophet was compelled AND ENJOYED TAKING A YOUNG BOY ANALLY. Against his will mind you. Now that percolate.
There is no where in my living faith in Jesus where a false prophet has ever existed…
your faith is based on an abomination.
let me close with this. I don’t know for fact whether you do or do not have faith or allegiance to the muslim faith…..I am making my thoughts clear about a subject that is obviously well above the ground and very clearly being decided with the rest of the entire muslim “nation” to take into consideration,
get yourself right with the LORD.
God Bless America

Two complete sentences from Kamala sounds like AI.
Maybe, maybe not. Most likely someone else wrote this for her. I’m surprised that she can read.
Collage of domestic enemies.
F*ck them. They aren’t president. Thankfully.
When I see those six oppose what President Trump has done, it completely validates the actions he ordered.
They just might be next😎
Maybe they can watch a couple hundred videos of regular Iranian citizens celebrating the obliteration of Khomeini
Losers.
I hope he’s been successfully neutralized, but find it hard to believe he’d have been around “his compound” given the current circumstances.
Could he be that arrogant and stupid to not see this coming?
Maybe so, though. Maduro was. Solhemeini was.
The next question in my mind doesn’t concern the fallout in the Middle East.
The most important reaction will be that from Vladimir Putin.
never underestimate stupid.
also this…never try to estimate the fullest intelligence of the United States Military.
It’s not popular it seem to boast, But I will
USA USA USA
God Bless America
Also, never underestimate Israel.
Putin and Xi have already sent very stern letters of disapproval to the United Nations.
So?
Russia has aready condemed the strike.
Diplomatic necessity.
Russians have a long and complicated relationship with Iran. Not many sincere fans of the IRI.
No possible nuclear bomb attack from them is a very good thing. Right? Thank you, PDJT
As the father of a USMC Major deployed and USCG Lt Commander I’m sick and tired of this constant Iran vs Israel bullsh!t, the turmoil in the oil markets and the never-ending terrorism from both sides.
Hopefully, President Trump is going to see this through to the finish this time. Get the job done. Get rid of the Iranian leadership and troublemakers once and forever! End Iran’s reign of terror and hostilities!
Agree. It is now or never.
Exactly!
Lets hope so !!! So far I like the pattern:
Maduro ! > Ayatollah !! >>>> Miguel Díaz-Canel ? > Kim Jong Un ?? > Putin ??? > Xi Jinping ????
If Canel or Kim Jong Un go next, then the plan maybe to go for the GRAND SLAM !!!
And it is completely sensible, start with small baby steps to perfect the system and work your way up to the more difficult cases.
V.V. Putin?
Be careful what you wish for.
Tousi.tv is on in about 4 min.. for those interested.
Thanks!!
he dead.
“…as far as I know.” That’s quite the equivocation, I choose to believe the Ayatollah is histoire, many thanks 47.

I’ll take dead for $1000, Alex…
President Trump needs to ignore Susie Wiles completely. Her time is nigh, can’t hide sabotage forever.
Is there anything that goes on that she is not in the big fat middle of? With her title, I would think she would be busy doing administrative stuff instead of running a country.
The Chief of Staff is the “gatekeeper”, as it were.
I hope he’s telling her to GTFO.
The best indicator that he’s dead is the emergence of the fake opposition ‘resistance group’ declaring itself the new provisional government if Iran.
This is a jihadi islamist splinter group that broke away from the regime and is hated and rejected by the Iranian people. It’s well financed and has bought a number of US politicians like mike pence, rudy giuliani and many others who’ve been well compensated for their “support.”
Reza Pahlavi is the legitimate and desired leader of the people of Iran and millions of the diaspora around the world.
That this propaganda is being peddled by just the news underlines Sundance’s repeated warnings about john solomon being a cia tool.
I won’t post a link.
Sounds as if you are talking about the Mujahideen-e Khalq Organisation (MEK).
Yep.
President Trump is actually there!
Sounds like freedom to me! Courtesy of President Donald Trump and the USA.
I am praying for the safe return of our military from this operation. They deserve special recognition given how divided this nation has become..and YET, against even perhaps doubts, they carried out the contract and OATH BEFORE GOD THE ONLY GOD…THE CHRISTIAN GOD. I pray for these warriors who said yes, today, I am making America SAFE AGAIN.
MASA
God Bless America
AMEN
A lot of us at the TREE have lost loved ones in war. I say God bless them all and God bless our military..
Son of friend and son of cousin are in the Navy and probably in that area. I pray for their safety also.
Imagine the chearing in streets throughout our great land when election fraud has ended, welfare fraud has ended, all the illegals have been sent packing along with the H1B grifters. Would make these folks look like amateurs.
It’s difficult to have a reasonable discussion on the middle east here but I hope that the recent Sunni approachment with Israel continues now that it appears Iran’s power hungry Shia government is changing and Israel is no longer needed as a counterweight.
Your premise is misguided- it’s the lack of patience with either ignorant or insincere comments that get rejected.
By the way, I thought both sects have problem with Israel.
Why yes they normally do. However, oh nevermind.
Considering that teh IRGC has struck every Middle Eastern country in the region (with the exception of Turkey), and the hidden relief that those countries feel as the IRGC falls, I suspect Israel will be viewed much more favorably. It was the Israeli strike that killed Khamenei.
Fingers crossed.
President Trump is the greatest American Commander in Chief since George Washington. He fights to win, and fast.
I beg to differ if I may. washington led an improbable low estimate, small scaled attack of war against a formidable British empire that occupied the land. It was one defeat after another. Washington himself was literally fighting for his own life as much as his will to succeed to slay the giant.
this is not the same kind of conflict.
This President, has every single advantage at his dispose.
and this is a caution to those who would revel in the near term victory of this brief battle.
yes, the leadership appears to be chopped at the head.
but let us not confuse where the enemy really occupies. it is a death cult religion, inspired by a so called prophet who enjoyed raping a young man anally.
It should not be a trick question or a hard to find answer, but who are these people who have never decided to reject such a religion…how they conformed to a so called supreme leader who would declare terror war against Christians.
you have to ask these questions to understand the true enemy that exists, at levels far below the mouthpiece they call the ayatollah. I have to ask these questions.
and the answers that make more sense is that this is an ancient society built on energy (oil and nat gas) plus a commie radical idealogue that states clearly…no other ideas are permitted other than those approved.
that is far more dangerous than Marxism, socialism, …even hitler would admire the courage to wrap a political agenda with a religious idea that is perverse.
and yet that is precisely what IS IRAN. the state, the central secret police and military.
if the people of Iran have any hope, WE AMERICANS have a duty to provide it to them. What why do with this relief of oppression in unknowable. But it ends today and a new beginning starts today.
God Bless America
God Bless the NEW IRAN.
It doesn’t matter if he’s dead. They’ve been working on succession for a long time. They have been preparing for this exact scenario. Both Iran and Israel will be decimated. None of this makes sense or had to happen. It’s a crime against humanity.
Awesome, huh?
Totally.
Jayrock is an idiot.
Don’t be ridiculous. The line of succession will also be obliterated and we have made a good start in that regard. Iran made a big mistake when they directed missiles at all of the ME…. who will now join the effort to ensure that the regime will be completely eradicated.
Let FREEDOM happen for the good people of Persia… they have waited a long time for this.
I can assure you of one thing. Israel will not be decimated.
What about the crime against the Iranian people, living under this dictatorship for 40+ years. Is that meaningless?

“Rubio finding out he needs to be Shah of Iran”:

give my regards to cecile richards
Shudder…
I have stronger words…
. . was blind, but now I see!
I can totally understand this. I reserve my judgment, but there is no question about manufactured lies that led to the gulf war involved in this matter.
Iran has declared war and killed hundreds of citizens of the united states, has conducted piracy and mining in the straights of Hormuz for decades and still does because they use this as form of leverage and extortion. Iran is 95 percent benefactor and source of all funding of houthi “rebels” who are responsible for 11 sailors who died of attacks, 14 sailors who were ransomed (Obama years), and numerous illegal boardings and seizures of numerous merchant vessels in the region).
This is ALSO a nation that assigns it’s philosphy *I refuse to call it a religion* to a self appointed supreme spiritual leader who has unfetted direction to military and policing.
this is NOT NORMAL.
it was never normal.
so your comparison are not correct or even properly correlated.
we are discussing two entirely different military operations.
one, you are correct was based on provably false information and lies and deceit to the American voters. I am ashamed to admit I served several mission under that same false pretense. But this was my oath. I did not ask the right question..And here I am now, proud to say, I did serve as I was required to do so, because I took that oath, I swore to God Almighty that I was willing to give my own life in the service to my country, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. not for me. But for you.
I am ashamed I was not clear minded at that time about what was being discussed..the rumors, the whispers. Yes, I heard them. I took this as radical left talk. That is how I measured the facts that were being forwarded about yellow cake, the fact that no centrifuges were actually in operation. All I heard was the president, the chief of staff and every single flag officer who had never betrayed my confidence, were saying the same thing: iraq is the harbinger of all evil and terror in the world..
it’s easy to look back and see how none of this was correct and it’s also easy although very uncomfortable realizing how much I ignored….
Yet…I do fail to see a parallel here. It’s not oil we are after…it not even about rebalancing power in the middle east. we are dealing with a death cult central state that has given rise to real deaths of Americans, Israel’s (the US main ally in the region I will remind) and and untold number of terror attacks across the european region.
it’s well past time to deal with this caliphate.
and if you really want to litmus test this new engagement, check out putin. He is applauding this US because this means he will no longer have to deal with a hyper violent agency in order to make energy deals.
think about that. If none of this makes sense. rest assured, it will be written in the books and critiqued for ages.
but this is a righteous war. and I am not adverse to taking the advantage of US interests operating oil and natural gas for the same exact reason we now have the same kind of access VENEZUELA. regime change matters.
God Bless America
It’s fine. I’m sure Iran will emerge from this a free Madisonian democracy and we won’t be flooded by refugees.
No – /sarc –tag ?
Now that the tyrant is dead…. let us hope the Persian people will change the name back to Persia!
This is such good news! I remember watching that black robe arrive in Iran and the sea of women clad in black head to toe wailing their greeting… it was ominous and shocking. A very good friend of mine escaped Iran shortly after this event and made his way to the USA. The stories he told…. including of his sister ending up in Evian(sp!) prison and what happened to her… just horrific.
Carter allowed that to happen. Obama ensured they had funding.
A terrible wrong is being righted.
Thank you, GOD! and President Trump <3
a day of mourning is not proper.
a day of silent resolve is appropriate.
islam is and has been the bane of all normal society since the heathen and thief raped a young boy and called it religion.
Soooo … Benjamin Netanyahu just said the strikes had targeted the compound of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ?? That’s how you do it — hit ’em where they live. Or used to live …
Khamenei has been a “dead man walking” for decades … the only difference today is that it’s “official” and he ain’t “walking” …
p.s. … we shook The Shah’s hand in ’74 when he “trooped the line” and he said something to the effect that he “wished his pilots were as impressive as us … ”
Thank you, Sir … and this day has been a long time coming since your ’79 overthrow. But no matter what all the details of that “ancient history” now … let’s see if some good can come of it … ??

Nope, I’m just laughing at all the people last summer who lied and said we weren’t launching a regime change nation building war in Iran.
Robert Malone’s substack has an interesting take: the retaliatory attacks by Iran on Saudi Arabia, Qatar et al. were the work of the Iranian military, who may be at odds with the IRGC, in order to bring about a quick end to this war. Yesterday Saudi Arabia was avowing neutrality and “diplomacy”, but today they are all in against the Islamic Republic.
