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.

Vince C on WMAL just stated that Israeli sources are reporting that ALL the targeted are now dead. Sooooo many Martyrs. Someone better order more raisins.

Saturday he was saying it was all Bibi’s idea and Trump would not have done it but Bibi tricked him. Today was all anti-war and thought I was watching MSDNC.

His past support is what is surprising, but he got on the Tucker anti-Israel train and became unwatchable. He is not the Bible expert he thinks he is.

Both Goldi and Tousi are great sources for the real story of Iranian history and Iranian current events. The Iranian people overwhelmingly want the Shah back. But that will be decided by a free election after the ouster of the occupying islamic dictatorship.

We cannot trust any mainstream media.

I would have demanded they take my name off the list long before the voting took place and explained my absence being due to a dental appointment.

Today, Bannon let that anti Trumper, Desantis guy on the show, who was black pilling Trump's moves in Iran. In the next segment he had Brian Kennedy on, who countered all the other guy's nonsense.

Stick with Bannon, Bray. He will see the light on this.

Aren’t these dead people the ones who have murdered tens of thousands of innocents? Indeed if that is true, isn’t their deaths a plus for civilization and reasonableness?

I just finished hearing Trumps Oval Office press conference on Bloomberg Radio. It was an update of Iran events. He reports that in addition to about 40 top Iranian leaders being taken out a day or two ago, the second tier of leaders has now also been removed, and perhaps even a third level (this Mullah meeting). Trump said we may soon run out of names we have heard of. He has spoken about our mistake in Iraq of firing all the Iraq troops, officers, and top generals, as well as all the government workers. This did in fact cause a large body of angry, hungry Iraquis to fight us during the Bush 2 occupation. Trump says large numbers of people in charge are now saying they want to quit and get an amnesty. He described how well Venezuela is now working with most of its usual workers doing their jobs.

Trump suggested the death of protesters is far higher than the 30,000 figure, and described the cruelty of shooting unarmed protesters with machine guns and sniper fire. Trump plans to change our relationship because Spain has refused to join the effort to raise military preparedness to 5% of GDP in NATO. He spent a lot of time explaining exactly why he felt it necessary to attack now. He also urged protesters to stay safe, because the streets are too dangerous now with active Army moves taking place.

The Market had dropped some because of this fight, but apparently it has had a bump up as a result of this Oval Office news conference.

Yup that's the douche, Brandon Weichert.

Weichert also claimed that Trump was losing the primary to DeSantis in 2024. And now we should take him seriously?

The guy talks trash.

That is why I speed through Bannon anymore. He is so pissed at Israel he is not worth watching. I can get negative anywhere. I don’t like Mark Levine but his hatred is unhinged.

Once he began the Israel First label he lost me since I will always support Israel. He doesn’t want us anyway.
