The head of Iran's Revolutionary Guard and 'architect' of the regime's brutal crackdown against protesters has reportedly been killed during the joint US-Israeli missile attacks on Saturday.

IRGC commander General Mohammad Pakpour is said to have been 'eliminated' in strikes targeting the capital, Tehran, according to Israeli assessments.

Tehran has vowed a 'crushing' response to the joint operation, which follows weeks of knife-edge tensions building up between the US, Israel and Iran.

Iran has been at war with the United States since 1979. About time the US smashed this sand fly.

If they fled to Sudan that works, that leaves the country leaderless. They would be on the run, that lets us hunt them.

It is the old Bomb Iran video, was meant to be a riff off the whole Rick Roll meme in a humorous fashion.

A pleasant surprise so to speak.

Since there is no video on any of this, cable news will have dozens of commenters on for hours saying nothing just to fill up airtime. Yawn.

If they’ve skedaddled to Sudan that means they’re not in operational control of the military. And with the decapitation strikes on the parliament & government ministries command and control has got to be a big question mark. No answers from me, just spitballing it.

Not as effectively as if they were on scene. Plus they risk giving away their position every time they communicate.
