Iran just want to humble Isreal.
That is what I see in this scenario.
They want to rubbish isreal's invisibility.
The core of isreal bragging right and bullying.
Also, by hitting isreal regularly with their missiles, it is de-marketing the highly over-hyped and extremely expensive weapons.
The qataris and Saudis rely on these weapons alot.
They spend billions on yearly basis on US security protect, guarantee and constant weapon supply like F-fighter jets to wade off threats from countries like Iran.
Saudi even have around 200 plus F-series fighter jets.
Seeing isreal been banged regularly despite all the best ADs in the world there is sending a big fear and concern in the heart of the Saudis, Qataris and Jordanians.
They now know all the expensive junks they have at hand won't save them from Iran.
They are just in-between.
Support US to eliminate the Iran threat and all their oil fields burn, pressure US not to go in and the Iran regional threat keeps lurking in the corner.

I saw somewhere the Saudis are egging Netanyahu to get rid of Khamenei. In public they criticise Israel but privately they would be glad to be rid of theocrats in Iran.

nateevs:
To be fair, it's not the only reason.

The Iranians communicated to the Pentagon during Trump's first term in office, a range of retaliatory options they will consider in the event of B2 bomber deployment. Trump got this briefing.

AirBases in the region, Aircraft carriers, Oil Refineries, Strait of Hormuz, Israel's Nuclear facilities (wherever they are) are all fair game......for Hypersonic missiles. None of these assets have Iron Dome. Those that have Iron Dome sef are begging relentlessly for help.

Trump needs to calculate the political costs and fallout when the numbers start to stack up in dead Soldiers and Sailors, Oil prices going through the roof, wide-spread radioactive contamination over the middle east, including over Israel, Jordan and Saudi Arabia......


All for what? Iran that is not even a threat to America.

You must be aware Iran was mining the strait during Reagan time. He bombed an oil rig then later sank every navy ship docked and any that attacked American ships. One US ship accidentally downed an Iranian airliner in another incident.
A year earlier Reagan had bombed Gaddafis tent supposedly killing his adopted daughter.
Long and short,bullies are all talk. If America acts against Khamenei he knows Trump will hit him hard .
Iran had enriched uranium to 83.7% as of 2023 at Fordow underground .What other purpose can that be used for?

Israel says they were developing a nuclear detonator. All you need after that is the enriched uranium (;which they have) and a delivery mechanism (their ballistics missile development.

Supreme court uphold Tennessee ban on gender affirming care for trans minors

There should be a penalty imposed on these judges. A judge makes a decision knowing very well the ruling will be overturned by a higher court. The judge is basically sabotaging the government.
With more than 190 injunctions so far. something should be done about judges paralysing the government either from partisanship ,pure malevolence or as a result of blackmail.

Some 20 times Khamenei has made comments about America since 2020.

January 8, 2020 (Qom Anniversary Speech): Khamenei described America’s democracy as eroding, citing U.S. protests as evidence, stating, “We can see what the big idol has turned into.”

January 17, 2020 (Friday Prayers Sermon): He accused the U.S. of lying about supporting Iranians, saying, “These American clowns lie in utter viciousness that they stand with the Iranian people.”

March 2020 (Nowruz Speech): Khamenei expressed medical paranoia, suggesting the U.S. might use COVID-19 aid to harm Iran, claiming they could spread a virus “based on Iranian genetic information.”

November 23, 2020 (Supreme Council of Economic Coordination): He downplayed U.S. sanctions relief negotiations, urging self-reliance, saying Iran should not trust Washington or Europe.

January 8, 2021 (Televised Address): Khamenei rejected U.S. coronavirus vaccines, alleging, “If they knew how to make a vaccine, they would have consumed it themselves so they would not see that many deaths.”

March 2021 (Nowruz Speech): He emphasized Iran’s economic independence, dismissing reconciliation with America as a path to prosperity, arguing Iran’s successes come from resisting external pressure.

March 21, 2022 (Nowruz Speech): Khamenei blamed the U.S. for starting and prolonging the Ukraine war, asserting Iran’s non-involvement while criticizing Western hypocrisy.

March 21, 2023 (Nowruz Speech): He interrupted chants of “Death to America,” saying, “Well yes, death to America, but let me speak!” to focus on domestic resilience amid U.S.-backed protests.

March 20, 2024 (Nowruz Speech): Khamenei claimed the U.S. must leave the Middle East, stating, “The Americans can’t stay in this region. They have no choice but to leave.”

March 21, 2024 (Nowruz Day Speech): He accused America of attributing regional resistance actions to Iran, saying, “Any measure taken by Resistance forces, the Americans will attribute it to Iran.”

December 11, 2024 (Meeting with Society Segments): Khamenei blamed a U.S.-Israeli plot for Syria’s developments, stating, “No one should doubt that what has happened in Syria is the product of a joint US-Israeli plot.”

December 22, 2024 (Speech to Eulogists): He denied U.S. claims that Iran relies on proxies, asserting Iran’s regional influence is independent, countering narratives of diminished power.

March 8, 2025 (Meeting with Officials): Khamenei rejected negotiations with the Trump administration, saying, “Negotiating with this US administration won’t result in the sanctions being removed.”

March 20, 2025 (Nowruz Speech): He condemned U.S. actions in Gaza and Yemen, declaring, “America is also a partner in this crime,” without mentioning Iran-U.S. talks.

March 31, 2025 (Eid al-Fitr Meeting): Khamenei likely reiterated anti-U.S. themes, focusing on regional resistance, though specific quotes are unavailable; he typically calls America “arrogant.”

April 15, 2025 (Meeting with Officials): He emphasized Iran’s defiance against U.S. sanctions, urging economic self-reliance, consistent with his 2020-2025 rhetoric.

June 4, 2025 (Imam Khomeini Anniversary): Khamenei likely framed America as a persistent enemy, reinforcing Iran’s revolutionary stance, though exact quotes are not provided.

June 13, 2025 (Televised Message): He vowed a response to U.S.-backed Israeli attacks, stating Iran’s armed forces would “bring ruin upon the malicious Zionist regime,” implicating America.

2020-2025 (General Friday Sermons): Khamenei frequently labeled America as untrustworthy, often saying U.S. negotiators are “the same terrorists” behind regional conflicts.

2020-2025 (Recurring Theme in Speeches): He consistently called America the “Great Satan,” urging resistance, as in prior decades, though specific 2025 quotes are not fully documented.

Some Iranians want regime change, and have been fighting years for it. I just wish they won it themselves instead of Israel delivered, which I doubt most would quite appreciate in the end.

If you backtrack as you normally do looking for anything to discredit me, I have been very supportive of Iranians. They have high rates of education with women being more in universities and they like secularism. The Ayatollahs imposed a theocracy , patriarchy in the Iranian society and his Basiji moral police enforce archaic medieval dress codes for women in public streets.
Seventies vs today for Iran.

LordAdam16:
Options yakpa.
Israeli planes currently undergo maintenance in Cyprus and Greece.
Can't be screwing around doing maintenance in Nevatim before Iran lights up the technicians.

The abundance of options is both a strength and a weakness.
The US just fought a war with the Houthis and lost two F-16 jets.
Against Iran, all assets not in NATO countries are effectively in a kill zone. As Iran has demonstrated, this is no longer an hypothesis, its missiles will beat any AD in the US inventory.

Iran bans govt employees from using cellphones. Noone can eavesdrop on this.

What is funny is the "Iran cannot have nuclear bomb" America and people like you who are brainwashed by the western media keep parroting. Tulsi Gabbard US intelligence chief still briefed the American administration in March that Iran wasn't building or planning to build a nuclear weapon according to their latest intelligence assessment. Anyway we all know same narrative like this came up in the lead up to the invasion of Iraq Netanyahu was behind the Iraqi invasion too.

Why are they enriching uranium. They have too much oil and gas , they don't need nuclear energy. They don't need that many centrifuges to enrich to 90%.
They are terrorist sponsors. Houthi, Hesbolla, Hamas, and countless others in Iraq.
Look at this map. They are not even Arabs. They are Persians . Why should they be bothered about that tiny speck of land ? ( I'm sure you know why)

23jerryking:
[b]A deadly thing like the Nuclear Weapon should only be in the hands of nations disciplined enough not to use it, even when provoked. It must never belong to those who would launch it without hesitation or at the slightest provocation. Iran must not be allowed to have one, no matter the cost. This is not about religion or politics first. It's common sense.Iran have the propensity to misuse it.

For instance,North Korea, despite all her threats, hasn’t used one on her rivals. They have conducted several nuclear tests underground, but they have never launched or used a nuclear weapon in war or against any country. Most of their nuclear activity has been for deterrence and political leverage, especially in tensions with South Korea, Japan, and the U.S.

Perhaps many of us here are still ignorant as to what a nuclear weapon can do, let me explain using Nigeria as an example. One drop on a major city like Lagos, Abuja, or Port Harcourt could wipe out thousands of lives in seconds. It wouldn’t stop there. The blast would destroy hospitals, roads, bridges, water systems, and electricity grids. Then comes the radiation, slowly killing survivors, poisoning the land, the air, and the water for decades. The entire country would be thrown into chaos.

Now imagine having that kind of weapon in the hands of someone who wouldn’t think twice before using it. That’s why the world should care who owns a nuclear weapon. It’s not just politics, it’s survival.

In countries that have nuclear weapons, only one person, usually the president or head of state, has access to the “nuclear button.” It’s not something shared or debated in parliament.

It’s a heavy responsibility placed in the hands of one individual who is expected to have the discipline, emotional control, and strategic mindset to never use it unless absolutely necessary. Because once that button is pressed or clicked… there’s no going back.[/b]

Iran was planning to have 20000 hypersonic missiles purposely for Israel. Which is just above 20000 square kilometers. A hypersonic missile fired for every square kilometer

A leader with such plans would not hesitate to use a nuclear bomb .
Iran should not get any atomic bomb neither should they be allowed any enrichment at all.

Budaatum. What is this one saying?
Reminds me of bamboo story . Appears that the FBI had some sort of evidence but they kept quiet. Infact it's Bill Barr who said that the irregularities discovered were not enough to change the overall electoral outcome.
I've never heard the FBi confirm 2020 election was not stolen.
They also never said Hunter Biden laptop was Russia disinformation,
they kept quiet letting others speak, all the time knowing it was 100% Hunter's laptop.

My assumption is that FBI doesn't give details of sensitive investigation, but Congress critters are free to yap about it. Kinda preparing the public fir bombshell indictments beforehand.
Bamboo, kraken I'd like closure too.
Bongino said evidence he has seen is that Epstein hanged himself (methinks he was encouraged and left alone to take himself out)


FBI Director Kash Patel on Monday evening turned over to Congress an intelligence report raising concerns that China had mass-produced fake U.S. driver's licenses to carry out a scheme to hijack the 2020 election with fake mail-in ballots for Democrat Joe Biden.

The newly declassified intelligence reports from August 2020 weren’t corroborated or fully investigated and instead were recalled from intelligence agencies at about the time that then-FBI Director Chris Wray testified there were no known plots of foreign interference ahead of the 2020 election in which Biden defeated Donald Trump, officials told Just the News.

The new documents were turned over to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who had first raised concerns to the bureau that the intelligence hadn’t been fully vetted, and instead was just dismissed even though there was evidence of the fake licenses.

dermmy:
Trump and Netanyahu are using psychological tactics on Iranians thinking they would rise up against their leaders. Netanyahu would tell Iranians to vacate buildings here and there now Trump is telling Iranians to vacate Tehran as if America wants to move in and wipe Tehran off the map. Even if America were to come in is it not nuclear and military site they would target even though America would find itself violating international law if it does that.

It is about searing fear into the hearts of the Iranians so they can rise up against their leaders this should tell you they have no other option. Netanyahu wants to save face by dragging US in but Trump knows the cost and he is developing cold feet and both don't want to appear weak that is why Trump said Iranians are ready for talks even though the Iranians didn't signal any sign of such, same thing he said when he couldn't defeat the Houthis.

Trump is the same one who said all the Iranian negotiating team members are all dead . He called them "tough".

I think he is mocking Iran.

A week ago, Minnesota state bill to repeal taxpayer-funded healthcare for undocumented adults. ....Specifically, Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman, who was killed in a shooting, voted for the bill, and it passed with support from four state senators in the Minnesota Senate.
Melissa Hortman was a member of the Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL), the Minnesota affiliate of the Democratic Party


The shooter murdered a democrat who voted for a bill to stop funding healthcare for illegals .

That makes the shooter a Republican or Democrat?

Khamenei supporters, I believe anti semitism pushes you towards Iran against Israel.
Approximate numbers of Iran regime opponents who have been murdered

Khomeini (1979–1989): Approximately 8,000–20,000 opponents eliminated, with 4,000–5,000 from the 1988 executions as the largest single event.

Khamenei (1989–2025): Approximately 17,000–25,000 opponents eliminated, driven by protest crackdowns (e.g., 1,500 in 2019, 500–600 in 2022) and judicial executions.



Ebrahim Raisi was a deputy prosecutor and member of the Tehran Death Committee in 1988, actively participating in the interrogation and sentencing of thousands of political prisoners, primarily MEK members, in Evin and Gohardasht prisons. He played a key role in implementing Khomeini’s fatwa, earning condemnation for crimes against humanity. His involvement, confirmed by Montazeri, survivors, and human rights reports,
He became president in highly suspect election in 2021 until his death in a May 2024 helicopter crash
Iran who is firing ballistic missiles today took 15-17 hours to locate the helicopter wreckage.

id911:
Iran will be worse that Libya if Ayotollah is suddenly killed because there's no succession in place and Middle East will be destroyed because of infighting with different factions laying their hands on whatever weapons they can get. US can't allow that. Iran and North Korea are the only two countries that have this issue. North Korea is even better because a family member can take over but Iran is peculiar.


Remember, in Iran the President has absolutely no power at all while Ayatollah is the Head of State, Supreme Leader and eternal religious and traditional head of Iran. He's also the eternal head of all Military and Intelligence Agencies. So they'll be a revolution if he's suddenly killed by external powers like Israel.

Nonsense. Iran has political parties and they elect the president. Only problem candidates for president must be approved by Khamenei. There is a lot of opposition in Iran to the regime, loyalty goes to the Supreme leader before anything else.

BREAKING: Massive U.S. Air Force deployment underway
At least 21 aerial refueling tankers (12 KG-135s and 4 KC-46s among them) are airborne over the continental U.S., many moving eastward, alongside multiple Gulfstream command-and-control and VIP transport aircraft.

I thought USA said they don’t want to get involve? Why is Trump sending those?

US already has 6 B2 spirit bombers, at least 5 B-52s ,Patriots and THAAD Air defence systems , F18s etc on Diego Garcia island in Indian ocean , which is 3800 km away from Tehran. They also have naval ships docked in. The base is out of reach for Iran ballistic missiles.
The B2 and B-52 can carry the Heaviest bunker bomb busters.
Iran is warned.

Hamxas:
Someone posted that iranians are fleeing iran actually they where just coming back from work, is actually downtown iran.

So the Iranians can actually go to work with IDF jets flying overhead , but in Israel they must have coordinates to the nearest bomb shelters Incase Hamas, Hesbolla Houthis or Iran launches a missile it rocket.
Iranians don't need no bomb shelter unless they are launching missiles or designing the next atomic bomb.

Thank you for your clarification.

Ayatollah Khomeini was expelled in 1964 by a western learning CIA imposed Shah. He was in France when the excesses of the Shah regine led to his overthrow. What does he do when he comes back and takes power.
_ Nationalized oil getting rid of the greedy westerners.
_Holds American embassy staff hostage for 444, on e Reagan got sworn in , be released them
_ Enacts new constitutional.order based on his Wilayat Al Faqih doctrine.
Ayatollah Khomeini’s doctrine, centered on Wilayat al-Faqih, establishes a qualified Islamic jurist as the supreme leader to govern Iran in accordance with Sharia, rejecting secular rule. It promotes an Islamic republic, prioritizing clerical authority and active preparation for the Mahdi’s return. The doctrine advocates exporting the Islamic revolution and opposing Western imperialism, particularly targeting the U.S. and Israel.Implemented in Iran’s 1979 constitution, it remains the foundation of the country’s theocratic system despite domestic and theological criticism..
_ Goes on to murder any political opponent,exiling the Shah family,his top prosecutor later became the president.
Those Ayatollahs are religious nuts with a doomsday agenda and a self belief in their divine right to lord over Iranians.
The Ayatollah holds the supreme leadership pending return of the Shia Hidde.n Imam.
I see no reason I should support Iran over israel.if IDF is bombing the Basij who have murdered women for not wearing a head bag ,I can only imagine that the Iranians will soon take to the streets protected by F35s and f16s.
Netanyahu has also said their number one target is Trump and him number 2.He also said Hesbolla sent a drone to his bedroom under orders from Iran.
IDF is doing the world a favour by taking down the Ayatollah regime.

I am taking notes of those that supports Iran and by extension the brutal regime of Khamenei.
The founder of The Islamic State of Iran doctrine .
Ayatollah Khomeini’s doctrine, centered on Wilayat al-Faqih, establishes a qualified Islamic jurist as the supreme leader to govern Iran in accordance with Sharia, rejecting secular rule. It promotes an Islamic republic, prioritizing clerical authority and active preparation for the Mahdi’s return. The doctrine advocates exporting the Islamic revolution and opposing Western imperialism, particularly targeting the U.S. and Israel.Implemented in Iran’s 1979 constitution, it remains the foundation of the country’s theocratic system despite domestic and theological criticism.


The Ayatollahs are zealots. They believe they are the representatives of the Imam who will come come back to earth and establish justice with Yes. Prophet Issa. ( Issa is Jesus). When Khamenei says the Imam will come in his lifetime ,he means the end of the world is before he ( Khamenei) dies.
Ayatollahs should never be allowed anywhere near a nuclear bomb. The Iran doctrine is that only a learned cleric the rank of Ayatollah should hold Supreme leadership in Iran .

Thank you Jimmy Carter.

Feednation,nateevs, budaatum.

If Bibi Netanyahu manages to get rid of Khamenei, the IDF should get the Nobel Peace Prize. Iran as a nation state has threatened global shipping (20% of the world's oil transits Strait of Hormuz) and actually sponsored the Houthis to disrupt shipping.
Top Nobel Peace Prize candidate should be Trump, Bibi and IDF.

The liberal Nobel panel I suspect thinks someone conserving Amazon forest to capture Carbon emissions is more deserving.
