Tactical Retreat and Uncertainty: Khamenei’s Leadership Shaken After Haniyeh Killing On July 30, 2024, Masoud Pezeshkian’s inauguration took place at the residence of Khamenei (The supreme leader). At 2 AM on July 31, Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of Hamas, was assassinated in northern Tehran at a secure base guarded by the Quds Force.

After two weeks of silence, Khamenei finally spoke to his officials. Since Haniyeh’s assassination, he hadn’t appeared in public, but on Wednesday, August 14, he reemerged. Faced with a wave of demoralization and despair among his forces after Haniyeh’s killing, Khamenei tried to reassure them. He urged them to avoid a “non-tactical retreat,” clearly fearing that his forces might fall into despair after suffering strategic blows. By carefully choosing his words, he aimed to boost their morale.

<< However, in 2020, a million Iranians were secretly polled and admitted to being Christians. >>

For the sake of discussion let’s assume that number is accurate. There are 90 million people in Iran, which would make Christians about 1/90th of Iran’s population. That’s a little over 1% of the country. Allowing for a very generous number of conversions since 2020, let’s make that number 1.5%.

Christians are a very small demo in Iran, even if the number is multiple times that of the “secret polling” figure you alluded to.

“perfect the delivery systems”

Iran is refining uranium.

U-235 bombs will not trigger a radiation sensor and can be smuggled in.

Some people think that Jeremiah 49:38 is a promise to turn Iran into a Christian nation.

New King James Version
I will set My throne in Elam, And will destroy from there the king and the princes,’ says the LORD.

“chickened out”

In that crowded part of the world, revenge is never a distant possibility.

It makes for caution.

Hezbollah probably has been told to keep their eyes open for opportunity.

The mullahs of Iran will readily cough up $100 million ($1.10/Iranian) a year, but not their lives or lifestyles.

Possibly mandated.

Most mosques are empty every single day, or very nearly so.

That sounds like a survey of Iranian-Amerhcans, not of Iranians in Iran. It would be interesting to compare various sources and estimates.

Indeed.

These idiots are going to find out the hard way that there is Someone Who will cash those checks and they will NOT like the payout.

What’s the answer? I’m not sure, but I lean towards complete annihilation of ALL Iranian leadership.

I like the way you think.
