“Hundreds of demonstrators from Los Angeles’s Iranian-American community took the streets Saturday to celebrate the US-Israeli airstrikes that killed Iran’s supreme leader. “I want to cry. I want to scream. I want to dance. I want to laugh — but above all, I just want to celebrate,” said LA resident Shervin Khorramian, 55, waving an Iranian flag as he joined the elated crowd outside of the Wilshire Federal building in Westwood. I feel absolutely elated, and I feel hopeful,” Khorramian added. “For the first time in a long time, I feel hopeful that this really could be the turning point for Iran.”

Trump gets Maduro out of Venezuela and Venezuelans in the US celebrate in the streets. Now Iranians in US celebrate Trump. CNN even showed them. In both situations, democrats want to impeach Trump. What a vile bunch of evil demons democrats are! If Obama had taken out the Ayatoilet, dems would be saying what a great man he is. No matter what Trump does, democrats, the EU and UK condemn it. So are they happy that 10’s of thousands of Iranians have been killed by the IRG and the mullahs? Democrats are so deranged it’s beyond logic and belief!

Pro-Trump rallies in LA and anti-Trump rallies in NYC. Both sides waving the Iranian flag. Although there were some flags being flown in LA that I presume were Persia. I’m surprised Mayor Bass Turd didn’t shut the LA rally down.

There’s a nice photo that was taken last weekend in Santa Monica by Jeff Childers (Coffee & CoVid) of Iranian-Americans protesting the Ayatollah and putting support behind the exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi. The whole article is worth reading, but that photo is halfway down the page. Sorry, I don’t know how to post it here.

I think there may have been more than “hundreds” there.

“”This will change the Politics of part of LA. Iranians will become like Cubans””

I believe they always have been...they all have businesses that cater to the Persian population...

“”Wilshire Federal building in Westwood””

Site of a Freeper rally during the standoff of GWB and Gore in 2000. We parked in the federal building parking lot and walked to a corner across the street - cars honked, parked, occupants joined us....

I haven’t heard a word about the Crown Prince...has he spoken about the events of the day? Is he ready to go back to Iran? He has said he would, didn’t he?

The Canadian Iranian woman who lit a cigarette with a burning photo of the Ayatollah and became the symbol of regime defiance.

Apparently he has.

*** Minutes after the strikes began —in timing that strongly suggests coordination— Prince Pahlavi posted a video message almost completely ignored by corporate media:

“Decisive moments lie before us. The assistance that the President of the United States had promised to the brave people of Iran has now arrived. This is a humanitarian intervention, and its target is the Islamic Republic, its apparatus of repression, and its machinery of killing — not the country and great nation of Iran.”

He addressed Iran’s military forces directly: “You have sworn an oath to protect Iran and the Iranian nation, not the Islamic Republic and its leaders. Join the nation and help ensure a stable and secure transition. Otherwise, you will sink with Khamenei’s ship.”***

I found that on today’s Coffee & CoVid column. https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/freedom-falafels-saturday-february

But the Nobel Peace Prize will go to some obscure whackjob in Nirobi or Kabul, that no one has ever heard of…

LOLLLLL!!
I think Trump could get that Norkie Kim on OUR side if he wanted to.
Meanwhile, Macron, Starmer and Merz, the three stooges are condemning Trump.
