Iran’s decision to launch ballistic missiles at Israel after months of ceasefire was not only a military message but also an attempt to demonstrate the new balance of power in Tehran.
According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, the driving force behind the decision was Revolutionary Guards commander Ahmad Vahidi, who has emerged in recent months as a key figure within the Iranian regime.
Vahidi prevailed over more moderate voices in Tehran who opposed the strike out of concern that it could damage contacts with the United States and jeopardize the possibility of an agreement. He persuaded Iran’s Supreme National Security Council to support the missile launch, which led to the first exchange of fire between Iran and Israel since the ceasefire in April.
According to the report, Vahidi has also adopted a hardline position in talks with Washington, demanding the restoration of Iran’s military deterrence capabilities, protection for Hezbollah, and the preservation of Tehran’s missile stockpiles and frozen financial assets. His influence grew after he replaced Mohammad Pakpour, who was injured in a military strike. Vahidi now commands approximately 200,000 fighters, making him the head of the regime’s most powerful armed force.

IRGC to Hezbollah: Fire some stuff at Israel. Israel: We're going to fire back. Trump: WTF! We almost had a deal! (wink wink. nod nod.) Israel: Sorry, but we must defend ourselves. Vahidi: Deal is off! Now we're going to fire stuff at Israel, too. All: Phew!
Kill him and the other 90,000 maniacs
Good, in a way Im glad, now can we get back to bombing PLEASE..and please, there was NEVER going to be any agreement, Iran can wipe their asses with it and any future President just like Trump did could just tear it up, means nothing. Here I signed your lil agreement now watch me wipe my butt with it
Losing to Iran really sucks!!
Let the president enjoy his birthday and sign the virtual agreement. Then tomorrow reaume the bombing. And this time destroy everything.
That /\
“ Never was going to be an agreement. This is just the latest excuse.”
**********************************
Fo’ sure.
We've appeased Iran for 47 years. Losing to Iran has been a 47 year process.
blockade still in place?
Let’s get it over with. Bomb the joint and change the name of it to Theyran.
OK - this is really stupid right. And it’s the source - ALWAYS verify.
If I’m wrong, well, then I made mistake, but this is BS.
This is talking about the bombing on 8 June. This did NOT disrupt the plan currently in final negotiations. This did not interrupt or derail ANYTHING.
The article is SUPER UNCLEAR about this, and got posted without the remotest clarification. In fairness, I would have assume the same - but NO ONE ANYWHERE is talking about bombing today. SO this is old, unimportant news.
Iran demands the world recognize Hezbollah as an extension of the Iranian State.
Only stupid assed fools would agree to that.
Lebanon is the state that Hezbollah, the terrorist organization, operates in. And Lebanon wants them out too.
When did you lose to Iran? I feel sorry for you...
When were these strikes, what is the dateline on the article?
This is 7:04 PM TelAviv time , 7 hours diff from EDT :https://x.com/FoxNews/status/2066192423869452545
Of course.
Iran knows we will never take out the Mullah run regime because we won't use ground troops.
They are not afraid of us bombing their civilians and their water supplies and bridges because they know that 70% of their civilians hate their regime.
And they have asymmetric drone capabilities that could keep the Strait dangerous for a number of years.
Ahmad Vahidi?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
what’s his beeper number?
Of course the Dems and people on this thread are probably cheering...cuz they abhor the possibility of President Trump succeeding...
Of course, these same folks scream about inflation and starving and filling up the car...
That’s the time on the article - the bombings it talks about happened a week earlier - and it is NOT REMOTELY clear about that. Check CNN, Fox, whoever if you don’t believe me. No one else has an Iran bombing story today or yesterday. It’s just propaganda BS.
You trolls are getting ridiculous now. We are not “losing to Iran”. They are exploiting the rat/msm efforts to draw things out until the mid terms. They see the crap on the news and it gives them every reason to play the cat and mouse game
BIOYA twit.
