The Israeli air force struck a top Iranian meeting on Tuesday where Tehran’s senior clerics had gathered to select a replacement for slain Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to multiple reports.

The Assembly of Experts, made up of 88 top clerics, were together in the holy city of Qom when an airstrike hit their building overnight, the Times of Israel reported.

The strike came just as the mullahs were counting the votes to appoint the next supreme leader, according to Fox News.

It remains unclear how many members of the assembly were attending the vote when the building was hit.

according to Bannon on War Room and his guests, Tel Aviv has been pounded all night, Israelis censoring information. Obama’s $150 b bought Iran a lot of capability.

Obviously the mullahs need to go incognito and disguise themselves.

Shave the beard, ditch the head dress and flowing robes.

Then they could maybe pose as Uber or Door Dash drivers that is if Iran has Uber and Door Dash.

As is the Israelis are picking them off like sitting ducks at a shooting gallery which is fine by me.

These mullahs are stupid. The last thing I want do is go to a meeting with other mullahs. I would want to bug out of Iran with as much cash as possible.

Maybe head east towards Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, or Pakistan.

On another note, why hasn’t Iran attacked Turmmenistan, Pakiistan, and Afghanistan?

“”””They couldn’t use Mail-in Voting?””””


The Iranians may be dumb, but they are not stupid. Unlike the USA the Iranians require paper ballots at their assigned precincts. (s)

The Persian people consider themselves Zoroastrians as per Perisians I talked to who fled when the shah was disposed..

They HATE islam and living under islamic tyranny.

So, yes, there is an islamic component, but I doubt it’s the majority.

So, it's not just Khamenei that is evil, its all the mullahs that are and they won't be allowed to pick another leader? That's a major problem given that 90% of the Iranian population is Shia.

90% may be Shia, but 80% of the Iranian population oppose the ruling mullahs and an Islamic regime.

”holy city of Qom”

They have so many “holy cities.”

Jerusalem is not mentioned in the Koran, and Muslims claim it now only because it belongs to the Jews.

Lesson for the vatican to review. If you cannot meet in person, you cannot be human and grow to understand one another. This will be like covid all over again.

Every business meeting is open to anhialation.
Has been, but now we see it.
