Reza Phahlavi, soon to be Shah

They died in their own beds. Hossein Salami and Ali Shamkhani—Iran’s most senior military officers and the stewards of Iran’s nuclear weapons program—had spent years threatening Israel with destruction. They issued taunts, organized terrorist attacks, and orchestrated, since October 7, the encirclement of the Jewish state in a ring of fire of their terror proxies. And they knew—without the slightest illusion—that Israel had the capability and resolve to kill them.
This cohort saw the Israeli air force bury Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah in his bunker, hundreds of meters beneath the streets of Beirut. They saw Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh vaporized in a presidential guesthouse—in Tehran, no less. Yet on Thursday night, they came home as usual and went to sleep—unguarded, unworried, carefree. Like insurance salesmen and bank tellers following their daily routines, it never occurred to them that they might not wake in the morning.
“In a world of diplomatic doublespeak, hypocrisy, and strategic ambiguity, Trump and Netanyahu simply said what they meant. The simple truth, plainly stated, blinded Khamenei—and his top military officers died in their own beds.”
A paywall bit you have the beginning and end of the article. The FP is a lib leaning site mostly socially but it offers truthful reporting that because it’s the truth seems to be conservative.
Trump warned and warned Iran to dismantle its nuke sites or face violent consequences. In an early May he told Hugh Hewitt, he offered Iran’s leaders two stark options for dealing with their nuke sites: “blow them up nicely”—meaning under international supervision—or “blow them up viciously.”
The attack was planned carefully for years, long before Trump was elected. The Israelis outfoxed the Iranians and probably the CIA.
Putin is saddened ...
Yeah, now for day two which the Pentagon never considers.
“Video and photos from the government quarter of Kirye, where the headquarters of the Israeli Ministry of Defense was destroyed.”

When they woke up they were dead.
salami now resembles bologna
M'kay. So, what's your point there, exactly?
"War is hell," maybe? I figure the Pentagon considers it all day, continuously.
Don't you?
What a useful idiot. Totally gullible.
yay! bolognaization is now a successful (and very welcome) anti-terrorist tactic
let’s bolognaize more of the evil basturds!
We are still feeling the effects of Jimmy Carters’ idiocy.
They woke up alright, in Hell.
“Putin is saddened”
indeed: his last remaining mid-east ally of consequence will be rendered impotent, and even worse: putin’s supply of Shahid missiles is kaput ...
“Video and photos from the government quarter of Kirye, where the headquarters of the Israeli Ministry of Defense was destroyed.”
Never happened.
Liar.
Time to get off your Russia/Iran/China crusade.
Tds + bds = death
It was reported some time before the attack that Salami was very ill and bedridden. If true, that would account for his dying in his bed. He couldn’t go anywhere else.
