If true, dumb play.
Khameini has killed many Americans.
I hope Israel kills him.
Trump is unclear on the concept of war.
The United States continue to keep Israel from achieving victory. Not good.
Any regime change in Iran must come from within.
The last thing we need is to get involved in this war directly, occupy and try to nation build in Iran.
Read somewhere that Ali ran off to Russia. Hope he has a nice retirement there.
If True, not good. We could have offed the rag head and invited the current Shah to return.
Great. So all Israel needs now is to deliver a dead American.
I...am not happy.
One take: They got to him. Only hope is that ayatollah ran and regime change happens in his absence. But without US support, I don’t see the Iranian people defeating the hardliners. If they didn’t get to him, then assets should be en route to support Iranian regime change.
If they DID get to him, given the lack of evidence for Israeli success with their piss poor attack and total lack of US military support, kiss the MAGA agenda goodbye and keep your powder dry. 2025 is looking to be a very, very bad year.
Putting the kibosh on an assassination isn’t very king-like.
Netanyahu can flip that to his advantage:
“Yes, we can do it. Good thing for you your ‘Great Satan’ holds us back!”
One analyst said a while ago the rivals for the aged leader are suspicious of each other, hate each other and of course are not liked at all by millions of Iranians. He said that will complicate the replacement regime after he dies of old age.
Ping. Want to hear your thoughts.
That is a truly stupid statement.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its Quds Force, were responsible for the deaths of at least 603 American troops in Iraq between 2003 and 2011. This accounts for approximately 17% of all U.S. service personnel deaths during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Many others were injured of course.
About 48 Americans were killed by Iran proxy Hamas in the October 7 massacre, and about 13 were taken hostage. The last living American hostage was released May 12. 2025. Hamas still has four American hostages, but they are believed to have been killed.
It keeps a very large club over the head of Iranian leaders to make sure our troops and bases aren’t attacked. Good move. Trump is a peacenik. I approve wholeheartedly. Israel has every right to protect itself. Unless Pearl Harbor happens again, let’s prepare for war and keep the peace. Cheering on Israel is as far as I hope he goes, but he knows better than I do.
I trust Trump completely. He sees a picture far beyond what I learn by limited reading. The decisions he makes are to protect me and mine. I’ll keep supporting him, whatever those decisions are. Given his personality and beliefs, I can’t believe he’ll ever do anything I can’t support.
I didn’t know it passed the Senate. /s
Have the Iranians killed an American yet?
—
Some 400 in Iraq, as I recall, but none recently. Best to wait until they kill a few Americans, then send a strongly worded letter, before getting all excited. Jawboning always is best, even if the other guy is just stalling until he gets the chance [ when you are all laid back, fat and happy at your prodigiously successful jawboning ] to sneak up and kill you.
Its not our problem if Iran gets a nuke, since they will only use in on Israel, not NYC or Chicago, as they once said. I’m sure they will have stopped chanting their foreign policy of “Death to America” because 47.
Just keep whistling in the dark and hope the boogeyman does not jump out at you because 47.
I thought the guy had already fled to Russ but apparently Khomeini is holed up in a bunker somewhere in Iran. Its likely they will allow him to flee to Russia and he can sit and commiserate with Assad.
I’ve just been listening to a guy on YouTube who’s Dad is trapped in Tehran. Apparently all the government buildings have been destroyed with the top officials. Tehran has basically fallen. What’s left of the IRGC are all out on the border of Iraq or in the mountains and that’s where the outgoing attacks on Israel from the remaining missile launchers are coming from.
I saw a video where you can hear people up on the roof tops chanting death to Khomeini. Reports are coming in from Tehran that all the people around Khomeini have been taken out.
Don’t be surprised if you see Palahvi leading a transitional government in Iran in a month from now. It looks lime Israel really is taking the regime out.
