The Tasmin News Agency released the names of 10 members of Iran’s air defense system in Urmia who were killed in an Israeli strike.

Ayatollah Khamenei is reportedly hiding in a bunker north of Tehran with his family.

Via Iran International:

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was moved to an underground bunker in Lavizan in northeastern Tehran hours after Israel began its attacks on Tehran early Friday, two informed sources inside Iran told Iran International.

All members of Khamenei’s family including his son Mojtaba are with him, the sources said.

According to the sources, during the previous operations against Israel, True Promise 1 and True Promise 2, the Supreme Leader’s family was also taken to the bunker.

At that time, Mojtaba was by his side, but two of his sons, Masoud and Mostafa, were not with him.

Israel continues to deplete Iran’s military capabilities.

If I lived near a regime strategic target, I’d flee too.

But otherwise, Israelis hit what they aim at. Everyone else is totally safe.

Maybe safe from air attack.

There will be casualties from the loss of infrastructure.

Perhaps the population will blame the regime (justifiably) instead of Israel for those problems. Most of the population of Tehran will experience significant hardship. Much of the country will experience the same.

I hope the Israelis find you. Khamenei is hiding at in a bunker north of the city.

“Red Leg, Red Leg”. Shift your fire. shift your fire. Engage checkpoint 7 and REPEAT. Thats correct, the bunker complex north of town.

Israel should leave Ayatollah Khamenei strictly alone.

Just widely publish the GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou coordinates of the bunker and every entrance, exit, and vent all across Iran.

Give the Iranian people the dignity of taking out their own trash.

Strange that only one out of the 10 pictured has a beard and not a very long one like typical Muslims.

Yes. This is when a state’s secret police take to foot and settle up with those in the public that they don’t like. It’s also when private parties with long standing animosity between each other take action. This was a major phenomenon in Houston and New Orleans just after Katrina.

If that would facilitate the Iranians taking him out, sure, why not?

IIRC, it was a leader of one of the many Islamic terrorist groups that was shown a picture of his home via satellite or drone. He got the message.............

Many things are coming to the world 🌏🌎🌍...


🛐🛐🛐 🙏🙏🙏. ✝️✝️✝️

Matthew 24:42-44
King James Version

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the Thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Luke 21:34-36
King James Version

34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that Day come upon you unawares.

35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole Earth.

36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Ancient Persia was a friend to Israel and so was modern Persia until the Shah was overthrown, thanks to Jimmy Carter.............

Eliminate the “supreme leader” basturd for sure!
The world needs far fewer such Satanic mass-murdering “leaders” —

Finish off the nuclear bomb factories
Finish off the ICBM missile factories
Finish off the Kharg Island oil port

Go home and enjoy some peace while the Iranian people hopefully get themselves a sane, non-rabid, peaceful government for a change. The entire world will breath a lot easier. (Oh yeah, watch for any rebuilding of the WMD factories and wipe them out early next time. No more of this “patiently waiting for the full-scale emergency have-to-act crisis point to arrive” business. That has proven to be just what it looks like, a dangerously dysfunctional policy == whether pursued by USA, Israel, or anyone else.)
