Israel bombs Iran’s top mullahs as they count votes for next supreme leader

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.

No. They didn’t trust it, after looking at ours.

I’m not sure if you heard. The leadership of Iran is dead. Hence the regime has changed. Sooner or later, some iteration will be an improvement.

I’ll be interested in seeing a list of those clerics who were killed in the attack.

I can only hope that there were some IRGC and Basij leaders in attendance too.

Bannon is anti-Israel and thinks Trump is Bibi’s lapdog. He criticizes the war and Trump 24/7. No different than Madow.

It would behoove you to learn a little about Iran before embarrassing yourself. I suggest Tousi:

Or Goldi:

I think Trump won!

You gotta give the Iranians a little credit. At least they don’t allow absentee voting.

I sometimes listen to Goldie. She has a daily show that might start in a hour or two.

I don’t think you know the proportion of Iranians who are Shiite Muslims or Sunni Muslims or Christians or Zoroastrians. Islam is not a native religion for Persians. I believe that the revolt of the people of Persia is the first revolt against Islam since the Crusades. It would take a more than 10% of the population to be even a bit effective at a revolution.

Maybe we can talk Israel to target the next CAIR and Muslim Brotherhood meetings here in the US.

I watch his show all the time. Bannon hasn't implied at all that Trump is Bibi's lapdog. Bannon has been playing it down the middle on the war.

BTW, there was nobody from Nov 4th, 2020 on, who supported Trump more than Steve Bannon. And I'm not talking about just later on in the campaign. I'm talking about from Nov. 4th, 2020 on.

Nobody!

Since they blocked Starlink so protestors could not send out videos of street slaughters, it might have been impossible to Zoom anything. Odds are they shut down all communications not military.
