Multiple high-ranking Islamic commanders, regime officials killed in Operation Epic Fury: report

Multiple high-ranking Islamic Revolution Guard Corps commanders and regime officials — including IRGC Commander Gen. Mohammad Pakpour and Iranian defense minister Amir Nasirzadeh — may have been killed in Operation Epic Fury, according to reports

Pakpour was named head of the IRGC after Israel’s June attacks on Iran killed his predecessor, Hossein Salami, and oversaw the deaths of thousands of protestors during weeks-long unrest in December.

Multiple sources said the joint Saturday strikes were believed to have eliminated Pakpour and Nasirzadeh, according to Reuters.

US and Israel launched at least seven missiles on Iran Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s fortified compound, killing numerous senior officials, Iranian sources told the outlet.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told NBC News also admitted that at least two Iranian commanders were killed in the attack, but did not confirm any names.

Ali Shamkhani, a senior adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, may have also been killed, according to Iranian media.

Another 40 people were killed when Israeli missiles landed on a school, Reuters reported, citing Iranian state media.

Under his rule as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ top commander, Pakpour oversaw the deaths of 3,117 civilians across the nation — including bystanders and witnesses — during nationwide anti-regime protests.

Soldiers allegedly opened fire into the crowds indiscriminately — and put the country under a media blackout to hide the bloodshed.

You are losing touch with reality.

Tousi TV showed a home in Jordan that had been hit by a missile. Fortunately not terrible damage.

Mahyar Tousi warned that there will be civilians hit by the IRGC in an effort to frame USA and Israel also. These people care nothing for their own people. It’s not just children they use for human shields. I hope we take out all their capabilities before they kill more of their own people.

Reports of riots in Evin prison.
Break down the doors and let them out.

In the past, we had a department of defense run by globalists.

Now we have a Department of War run by American patriots.

There will probably be some innocent victims. I’m praying for protection for all, but stuff happens no matter how hard we try to prevent it.

Precisely. Mistakes are always possible. To say that they are 100% impossible is to close one's eyes to exclude all but existing expectations, a stupidly dangerous thing to do in a chaotic situation like a battlefield. It's better not to trust any initial reports, but one cannot sit on one's hands expecting certainty. We assess the possibilities, make a decision, act with energy and integrity, and prepare to be held accountable.

I just saw video of a missile hitting in Qatar. Those who were outside could see it coming down and ran out of the way. I can’t help but wonder if being outside and watching the skies would be safer than being in a building. Right now the greatest danger to Iranian civilians may be the Iranian missiles. Hopefully they are more focused on using them on other nations which are able to intercept the missiles. And hopefully we can wipe out their launchers so they can’t strike the innocent Iranians.

Likely, I think some of their missiles are not much better than the old V2 for targeting and they just fall out of the sky.

Making a missile is hard but making a missile hit the desired target is wayyy harder.

If they’re Scud variants, they are essentially an upgrade V2.

Here’s praying that all attacks by the IRGC will be ineffective.

Both Trump and Reza Pahlavi are strongly encouraging the IRGC people to side with the Iranian people rather than the regime. That would really, really help. I’m praying about that too.

“May” have been killed. Maybe not?

At 1:14:15 at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A2UVks8DnU it shows where the IRGC hit a school in Mirab (sp?) and there are expected to be casualties. Maybe that’s the one Reuters was reporting on and they just accidentally claimed it was US/Israel who hit instead of IRGC. Earlier in the broadcast Mahyar had said to expect the IRGC to hit civilians and blame the US. So that’s likely what happened here. Or it could be that the missile misfired.

But I’m an American patriot who works against the moslem jihadists.

You on the other hand, are on the side of the globalist cabal, the moslems’ sugar daddy.

I want to offer my sincerest apologies. I thought I was responding to another poster and inadvertently replied to yours. Please accept my apologies.
