There are reports on social media and in the Israeli press that a US Airstrike whacked the new Supreme Leader of Iran within hours of him being named as Khamanei's successor.

President Trump should slap tariffs on any nation that doesn’t call it Persia.

What the feck is that?

Not the new kid on the block!

This is the big difference between the USA and Israel.
The USA tries to use the CIA to infiltrate the country to topple it internally.
This can take decades and often ends up with worse gov.
Israel is not afraid to chop the head off if they have the chance.

They have wanted to do this to Iran since the early 90’s but the Bush family said “NO”.

WHO'S NEXT?

Grok says 20-30% odds this demon has been dispatched.>>>>>

I’d put the probability much lower—maybe 20-30% at best right now—pending official Iranian confirmation (or denial) or solid reporting from established sources. If new evidence emerges from Tehran or major outlets, that could change quickly. For now, treat the “death” reports as unconfirmed and likely false or premature.

chapGPT says alive n kicking >>>>>

Assigning a precise probability (like 25%) to whether he’s dead or alive isn’t something that can be determined from current evidence — because there is no factual basis at all yet for the claim that he’s dead.
Right now, the evidence strongly supports that he is alive and serving in his role. Therefore:

aww now that was a cheap shot.

Who’s the next todayatollah?

[Palio di Siena]

Cue the Eagles singing - “already gone”

[John Milner]

The name painted on his office door hasn’t even dried.

New policy, just paint: “Ayatollah Supreme Leader.” No name.

Plus, just use the cheapest door available from Menards. It’s going to be blown to smithereens anyway, so why spend a lot of hard earned oil money on something so temporary.

Supreme leader Of Iran doesn’t dress as a Saudi

[bunkerhill7]

Never bring an Ayatolla to a gunfight.

[nuconvert]

Don’t you think the name of the country is up to the Iranian people?
Iran was Iran for like 2,500 yrs? More? Persia was the Greek’s name. Persia was a province of Iran.
I don’t think they’ll want to change the name.

[equaviator]

Cringe!

[rktman]

IIRC, I mentioned his position might be a short one.
