(OK. I am not supposed to sit so much!)
Interesting; not all that surprising about a commander. I knew that Jews still resided in Iran. Never heard - or forgot - about forced conversions. Curious if the hard liners would allow much access to a Jewish convert, especially to be a 'commander'. 🤷
"Abedin, 48, the ex-wife of disgraced former New York Congressman Anthony Weiner, will marry Soros, 39, the son of lefty billionaire investor George Soros, at the family’s lavish $14.5 million estate in Southampton."
#1 hope of the evil globalist cabal... remains to be seen!❗ This weekend might set the course for the future. 🙏🙏🙏

Well, the conversion part is just my speculation. Not sure how much more we will find out. I would assume his family was also extracted and is also in Isreal.
Love these!
I searched. As of March, 2025, she was alive.
US Navy backs right to repair after $13B carrier crew left half-fed by contractor-locked ovens
Army joins in push to break vendor grip on military maintenance
https://www.theregister.com/2025/06/11/us_navy_repair/?td=rt-3a
Excerpt:
US Navy Secretary John Phelan has told the Senate the service needs the right to repair its own gear, and will rethink how it writes contracts to keep control of intellectual property and ensure sailors can fix hardware, especially in a fight.
Speaking to the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday, Phelan cited the case of the USS Gerald R. Ford, America’s largest and most expensive nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, which carried a price tag of $13 billion. The ship was struggling to feed its crew of over 4,500 because six of its eight ovens were out of action, and sailors were barred by contract from fixing them themselves.
“I am a huge supporter of right to repair,” Phelan told the politicians. “I went on the carrier; they had eight ovens — this is a ship that serves 15,300 meals a day. Only two were working. Six were out.”
He pointed out the Navy personnel are capable of fixing their own gear but are blocked by contracts that reserve repairs for vendors, often due to IP restrictions. That drives up costs and slows down basic fixes. According to the Government Accountability Office, about 70 percent [PDF] of a weapon system’s life-cycle cost goes to operations and support.
A similar issue plagued the USS Gerald Ford’s weapons elevators, which move bombs from deep storage to the flight deck. They reportedly took more than four years after delivery to become fully operational, delaying the carrier’s first proper deployment.
“They have to come out and diagnose the problem, and then they’ll fix it,” Phelan said. “It is crazy. We should be able to fix this.”
The Navy is not alone in its concerns, as the US Army is peeved about the right to repair equipment it paid for too. In a rare display of bipartisanship, both Democrats and Republicans agreed that the Army shouldn’t be waiting on contractors to fix its kit and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a memo directing the service to add right-to-repair provisions to its contracts.
“On a go-forward basis, we have been directed to not sign any contracts that don’t give us a right to repair,” Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll told the House Armed Services Committee on June 4. “On a go-back basis, we have been directed to go and do what we can to go get that right to repair.”
Last year Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) introduced the Servicemember Right-to-Repair Act [PDF] that would allow military personnel to repair the equipment they use. It’s currently under consideration by Congress, but it seems the government is anxious to move fast.
“Our soldiers are immensely smart and capable and should not need to rely on a third party contractor to maintain their equipment. Oven repair is not rocket science: of course sailors should be able to repair their ovens,” Kyle Wiens, CEO of repair specialists iFixit told The Register.
.....Wiens has also been vocal in letting ordinary citizens have the same rights, despite frantic lobbying by the tech industry, which would generally prefer you just buy a new thing when the old one wears out......

OUTRAGEOUS:
@AGPamBondi’s Justice Department convinced a federal court today that @JudicialWatch somehow “waived” its request for who the Biden USAID was giving our money to in Gaza. So rather than expose what the Biden regime is hiding, they are now forcing us to file another Federal FOIA lawsuit for the basic info. This shell game is as bad as ANYTHING we’ve dealt with in the Obama-Biden administrations. Bondi and
@SecRubio need to show better leadership on this simple transparency issue.
