New: Iran Hardliners Now Calling for Trump, Netanyahu Hits As Peace Talks Teeter
Red State ^ | July 01, 2026 | Ward Clark

While it looks a lot like the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is running the show in Iran right now, it's also very likely that the mullahs are still wielding a lot of influence, even from whatever rocks they are hiding under. Iran's supposed civil government, or what's left of it, is still talking about a possible peace deal, but the IRGC is still trying to hit shipping in the Strait of Hormuz as well as tossing whatever they have left at neighboring nations.

Now, at least one group of the 7th-century barbarians who have been in power in Iran since 1979 has surfaced, to call for the assassinations of America's President Donald Trump and Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Iran’s most senior clerics have called for the assassinations of President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, declaring the leaders mahdour al-dam — or deserving of death.

The 88-member Assembly of Experts issued a 10-point statement in which they said killing “the wicked prime minister of the Zionist regime” and “the criminal American president” was a religious duty that must be carried out “under any circumstances.”

The clerics — who are constitutionally tasked with choosing and supervising the supreme leader — wrote that the call for their assassinations that avenging the death of supreme leader Ali Khamenei was of “paramount” importance.

Speaking of that supreme leader, we still have no indication, no evidence that the new supreme leader is still carrying out metabolic functions. But the mullahs aren't the only ones talking tough.

Meanwhile, Iranian newspaper Hamshahri ran a front-page story featuring Trump’s face in the crosshairs of a rifle scope with a banner headline reading “Revenge is certain.”

Now, while Iran in general has a habit of having their mouths write checks their butts can't cash, this isn't a warning that should be taken too lightly.

Remember, we have seen three assassination attempts against President Trump: Two during the campaign and one during his second term. These were attempts by amateurs, and yet one of them almost succeeded; the president escaped a fatal shot by a literal hair's breadth.

Any such attempt by a nation-state, with the resources of even a failed nation-state like Iran, would be very different; the attempt would be made by trained people, well-equipped, well-prepared, almost certainly working in a team of 2-3, possibly - likely - with more than one shooter. Iran has people like that, just as we do, just as any nation-state would.

There are, right now, between 20,000 and 30,000 Iranian nationals in the country illegally, having entered, mostly, across the southern border and again, mostly, during the four years of the Biden administration's non-enforcement of the border. If one percent of those are some kind of operative, infiltrated into the United States while the border was wide open, then that makes up 200-300 possible hostile operators.

That's enough to cause a lot of trouble. That's a reinforced company of infantry, more or less. This is a threat that the Secret Service, as well as PM Netanyahu's security detail, should be taking seriously. What the mullahs don't understand is that, should they succeed in this, and should they be able to establish that Iranian operatives successfully carried out an attack on the President of the United States, the likely outcome would be a rain of hellfire upon their country, the likes of which only the United States can deliver.

It doesn't seem likely that would deter them from the attempt, though. These are, after all, people who see death as some kind of sick reward. We should remember that, too.

Trump and allies should set up a program where the Strait must remain open and the cost of ANY AND ALL damages inflicted upon shipping by Iran will be 100% covered by IRANIAN IMPOUNDED FUNDS. This would stiffen the spines of the shipping insurers and reinsurers. And IRANIANS UNDERSTAND MONEY, do not want to lose it and will punish (i.e., kill) those who cause the loss. And the ones causing the loss are the IRGC.

I’m posting this in every thread where the absence of such MONETARY DAMAGES ASSESSMENT is partially responsible for the situation. Current methods are NOT WORKING! These on-again, off-again ceasefires are getting old. THE OIL MUST FLOW!

I think the low lifes in the USA are in cahoots with the low lifes in Iran.

Your idea is perfectly logical and the Iranians would hate it. All the more reason to implement it.
Maybe you can leave this suggestion for Steve Bessent of the treasury.

Trump put his family in danger for the rest of their lives, made Iran want revenge & wanting the atom bomb more than ever, for self defense, put the world economy on the edge, moved the USA more into chaos, hurt our economy, put his new Fed chair in an a bad predicament, put Jews here in danger, put communists and Muslims on warpath. Might have affected an important SupremeCourt decision.
Trump put Rubio and Vance careers in danger, as both should have remained senators, except that most senators are wannabe presidents, but useless legislators

What is new here? Iran remains belligerent and the West fawns over how well behaved they are.

This is unbelievable and inexplicable.

They raise the saber, we knock out their infrastructure totally.

THIS IS THE LANGUAGE THESE SCUM UNDERSTAND AND RESPECT.
