Happening: Trump Decided He’s Had Enough Of Iran’s BS

It was probably a big mistake for Iran’s leaders to threaten to go after Americans, American service members, and Trump

Iran’s supreme leader, president targeted in attack: senior Israeli official

A senior Israeli official confirmed to Fox News Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and President Masoud Pezeshkian were targeted in Saturday’s joint U.S.-Israel attack on Iran.

The official noted military forces also focused on taking out “those responsible for commanding the mass murder of Iranian protesters.”

“Battle damage assessments will come out later,” the official said.

Who’d they get?

Senior IRGC, regime officials killed in Israel-US strikes on Iran, source says

Israeli and US strikes on Iran killed several senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders and Islamic Regime political officials, an Iranian source close to the establishment told Reuters on Saturday.

Iran’s Security Council instructed residents of Tehran, as well as other major cities, to stay in safe, protected locations until further notice, Walla reported.

Security forces blocked roads in the Tehran area that is home to the offices of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, President Masoud Pezeshkian, and parliament, witnesses said.

This follows on from Israel and the United States launching an attack on Iran, with Iranian state media reporting explosions heard in Tehran, Qom, Isfahan, Kermanshah, and Karaj.

Khamenei is not in Tehran and has been transferred to a “secure location,” an Iranian official confirmed to Reuters earlier on Saturday.

Oh, good, he moved from the densely packed Tehran to somewhere more remote, so, less chance of collateral damage? It looks like Israel and the US were serious, since they bombed Khamenei’s compound. And Trump did call for the overthrow of Iran’s government.

Obviously the Democrats, and some squishes (like Thomas Massie. What happened to him?), are losing their minds, going full Barking Moonbat, starting with the NY Times editorial board, which also went full TDS

Why Have You Started This War, Mr. President?

In his 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump promised voters that he would end wars, not start them. Over the past year, he has instead ordered military strikes in seven nations. His appetite for military intervention grows with the eating.

Now he has ordered a new attack against the Islamic Republic of Iran, in cooperation with Israel, and U.S. officials say they expect this attack to be much more extensive than the targeted bombing of nuclear facilities in June. Yet he has offered no credible explanation for why he is risking the lives of our service members and inviting a major reprisal from Iran. Nor has he involved Congress, which the Constitution grants the sole power to declare war. He has issued a series of shifting partial justifications, including his sporadic support for the heroic Iranian people protesting their tyrannical government and his demand that Iran forswear its pursuit of a nuclear weapon.

Now, the NY Times cheered when Biden and Obama were getting involved in all sorts of wars. When Biden was pushing the world, along with EU leaders, towards WWIII against Russia. I don’t expect a quagmire or anything long term. I don’t expect an Iraq or Afghanistan. I expect lots of booms, but, no boots on the ground. I guess we’ll see.

The Iranian regime, to be clear, deserves no sympathy. It has wrought misery since its revolution 47 years ago: on its own people, on its neighbors and around the world. It massacred thousands of protesters this year. It imprisons and executes political dissidents. It oppresses women, L.G.B.T.Q. people and religious minorities. Its leaders have impoverished their own citizens while corruptly enriching themselves. They have proclaimed “Death to America” since coming to power and killed hundreds of U.S. service members in the region, as well as bankrolled terrorism that has killed civilians in the Middle East and as far away as Argentina.

But, since Orange Man Bad and those hated Jews in Israel are prosecuting the attack the Times, and by extension most Dems, are against it.
