If true, dumb play.

[lonestar67]

Khameini has killed many Americans.

I hope Israel kills him.

[iamgalt]

Hoping there is a difference between public and back channel coms.

[Robert DeLong]

Trump can’t veto what Israel does. He is correct to not give his blessing though. 😋👍

[Thud]

Trump is unclear on the concept of war.

The United States continue to keep Israel from achieving victory. Not good.

That was a wise decision.

Any regime change in Iran must come from within.

The last thing we need is to get involved in this war directly, occupy and try to nation build in Iran.

Read somewhere that Ali ran off to Russia. Hope he has a nice retirement there.

If True, not good. We could have offed the rag head and invited the current Shah to return.

[9YearLurker]

Great. So all Israel needs now is to deliver a dead American.

[Kazan]

Killing Khamenei goes way beyond anything that can be defined as defensive by Israel.

Israel doesn't have the capacity to facilitate regime in Iran. That has to come from within.

I...am not happy.

One take: They got to him. Only hope is that ayatollah ran and regime change happens in his absence. But without US support, I don’t see the Iranian people defeating the hardliners. If they didn’t get to him, then assets should be en route to support Iranian regime change.

If they DID get to him, given the lack of evidence for Israeli success with their piss poor attack and total lack of US military support, kiss the MAGA agenda goodbye and keep your powder dry. 2025 is looking to be a very, very bad year.

[Kazan]

We could have offed the rag head and invited the current Shah to return.

How are we going to pull that off without being directly involved in Iran, occupying it and trying another nation building project?

[thegagline]

Putting the kibosh on an assassination isn’t very king-like.

[JesusIsLord]

Any regime change in Iran must come from within.

Our CIA has been involved in regime change since it's inception.

[Candor7]

We do nothing.

All Mossad....gringo.

Netanyahu can flip that to his advantage:

“Yes, we can do it. Good thing for you your ‘Great Satan’ holds us back!”
