Iran's theocratic leadership took a big hit on Saturday, starting with the head goblin himself, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has now assumed room temperature. Our Townhall colleague Dmitri Bolt puts the number of regime bigwigs transformed into former regime bigwigs at over 40.
So far, according to Israeli sources, the deaths include Ali Larijani, Khamenei's deputy, and Ali Shamkhani, a top security advisor. Other reported casualties among high-ranking figures include Esmail Qaani, head of the IRGC Quds Force; Mohammad Pakpour, the newly appointed IRGC commander; and Defense Minister Amir Nasirzadeh. However, Iranian officials have denied these reports.
Iranian officials, we might note, are not people to be trusted.
A few minutes spent searching revealed this list of now-no-longer-breathing Iranian bigwigs:
These are some key people in the regime, and we must take special note of the regime that is the world's foremost sponsor of Islamic terrorism, having a counterterrorism unit.
As far as the number of regime goblins rendered inert, these are the numbers and names confirmed so far. It's a bit early to have solid figures yet. Estimates are running as high as 200 killed in the attacks, but there are two things to consider: First, Iran will not tell the truth about any damage they have suffered, and second, any number of regime members doesn't take into account people like family members and servants who may have been in the area.
Stay tuned, folks. It looks like we are in for a few interesting days ahead.
Current Status of Other Leaders:
President Masoud Pezeshkian: His status remains unconfirmed. While he was a primary target of the strikes, conflicting reports exist; some Iranian officials initially claimed he was “safe,” but he has not been seen in public since the attacks began.
Khamenei’s Family: Several of the Supreme Leader’s relatives, including his daughter, son-in-law, and grandchild, were reportedly killed when their residence within the compound was hit.
It must suck to be them.
That seems like an admission that Khameini is dead.
Good start.
Finish it.

Oops! Sorry about the multi post.
Admin Mod, are you able to delete?
Damn, our military is good, now that Trump got rid of all the boy-girls.
Good start to thinning out the “Death to America” goons.
Why have the mods delete them? You’re off to a good start. Finish it.
“ Khamenei’s Family: Several of the Supreme Leader’s relatives, including his daughter, son-in-law, and grandchild, were reportedly killed when their residence within the compound was hit.”
Good. Stamp his entire line out of existence.

There’s even an Uncle Amir’s Oil Change guy and the former manager of Shila’s, a fast food place in Tehran are now in the hierarchy. Getting desperate. Note: “chicken ball and fries” got a good online rating online. No American McDonald’s or KFC are permitted to open in Iran.
He thinks the teacher had discussed the rules about succession in her school class.
She asked: “How many people in the government here would have to die until they made you the President?”
“A lot, honey. A lot.”

Like in the Bible.
When God told the Hebrews to kill all the various pagan worshipping types (Jebusites, Amorites, Hittites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Girgashites...) the Hebrews thought instead it would be an act of mercy to spare some children.
One was someone whose later baby grew up to be Haman, an active, sworn slaughterer of every Jew he could find. He was the one tricked and killed by Esther. The pastry treat Hamentaschen (with jelly or poppy seeds on top) was said to be to remind Jews today of Hamen. They say it’s his three cornered hat but earlier it was his ears, as ears of an enemy were cut off and saved as souvenirs.
Interpreters say God was mad at the Jews for believing their own ideas about what to do were superior to His, by sparing the child earlier.
Deuteronomy 7:1-2 and Deuteronomy 20:16-18
Later told to kill the Amalekites (1 Samuel 15) and the Midianites (Numbers 31).
