lanre316:They have settled on his own son as I saw elsewhere |
Hamxas:The president is a figurehead. Ayatollah is the Supreme leader. He decides who contests the president. The president takes the pressure off Khamenei from having to deal with the parliament. On critical matters Supreme leader has final say. |
To nuke the Jews I presume . Will also wipe out the Palestinian too . Alamkiir: |
Appleyard:The west generally doesn't attack civilian structures . Generally. Unlike Hamas Hezbollah Iran etc who thrive in maximizing their civilian casualties in order to accuse the other side of genocide , war crimes etc. Hamas is perfect example of a cry baby army. Taught by the Iranians the masters |
Alamkiir:Western armies don't target civilian infrastructure without good reason. The Iranians together with Hamas Houthi Hezbollah fight are complete liars. I doubt the figire it started with 20 ,now it's over 100. A regime that sent children to walk on warfront to make sure there were no mines is just despicable to me. I dnt know why like the Ayatollahs and I won't second guess why. |
Hamxas:While their president was eliminated. |
23jerryking:I think it's a form of retardation, no other way to explain it. If the regime is going down , everyone else will as well. Imagine if these guys had a nuke, they would have detonated it by now . This only makes it's neighbors resolve to make sure those Ayatollahs never get to power again. They could be hoping western Israel hating media will blame Israel and America for attacks in say Dubai. Hoping international pressure from the UN will force the US and Israel to stop attacking them.Democrats want a vote to stop any further escalation on Monday. |
Iranians are just bat shit crazy. They bombed Burj Al Arab . Plus the airport? And a drone intercepted enroute to Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. Supporters of Iran regime. You could have been in Dubai and got hit by an Iranian missiles or drone . Writeerng, they have said the missiles fired so far are old depreciated. They are firing more advanced ones today... To civilians in airports or hotels |
ono:That was epic. Take down the head of the snake with as many of his top leadership in the very first strike. If wars were fought that way there would have been less suffering. In many conflicts one belligerent is usually the reasons war goes on for long. Trump administration war should be made into a doctrine.. Something like strike the iron when it's hot |
nateevs:So far Trump's war have been brief and to the point. Hating Trump goes hand in hand with hating Netanyahu. Then supporting mad Ayatollahs who brutalize their people day in day out. |
Mikasaobi:What's left of Iranian chain of command is unknown. There will be a regime change , but there are those who are guilty of crimes. They will appoint another hardliner, who will be targeted the same day and unalived if possible. The judge who sentenced protesters to death and the general who ordered their deaths were killed yesterday. There should be justice for the Iranian people brutalized by Khamenei and Khomeini. Not sure why you support these mad Ayatollahs and I won't second guess why . |
WriterrNg:No, he shouldn't have built nukes. He should have let his people free. He used religion to rise to power , and then to stay in power. All the while, he knew his people never wanted that. He was offered free nuclear fuel, he refused, wanted to control enrichment Iran has too much oil to require nuclear energy. Greed for power, Shia are only 15% of the Muslim world, and no one prevented his people from worshiping their own way. |
23jerryking:The great people of Iran will be free. In today's modern world how does a person pretend that he's ordained by the gods as the Supreme leader of a nation. Iran has a highly educated population, with women often being more than men in the universities. Yet a draconian regime imposed strict Sharia law suddenly on a people who had been secular before. Shot and killed women who dared walk without a headbang . Hoisted gays on cranes in public. Violently killed protesters. And a while lot to a people who resent the regime. |
[quote author=WriterrNg post=138619307]⚡A Chinese tourist in Tel Aviv captured footage of a U.S. military support ship being hit by an Iranian missile, with thick black smoke billowing out, confirming rumors from Iranian military reports of strikes concentrated on American vessels. govt is now running around like a headless chicken. They bombed 8 nations ,all of them turned against Iran. Ayatollah should have demanded immunity from any persecution abd handed over power to the people He saw what happened to Hamas and Hezbollah. Plus the 12 day war in his own backyard. Hubris or an aura of invincibility, noone will ever know His last tweets.... The US President keeps saying that they have the strongest military force in the world. The strongest military force in the world may at times be struck so hard that it cannot get up again. — Khamenei.ir (@khamenei_ir) February 17, 2026 Also The US President has said that for 47 years, the United States hasn't been able to eliminate the Islamic Republic. That is a good confession. I say, " You, too, will not be able to do this." — Khamenei.ir (@khamenei_ir) February 17, 2026 |
IDF had spent months gathering intelligence about Khamenei. They knew about a high level meeting with top commanders in his residence. Suppressing air defences , over 30 bombs were dropped on Ayatollah residence. Bunker busting like the ones IDF took out Nasrallah with The America might is too advanced for other countries. They flew in undetected to a meeting. They knew Maduro was snatched from his bedroom and shoulda known better. The attack was in broad daylight around 9.30 am. IDF reportedly flew 200 aircraft , US bases, and carrier groups also launched in perfect synchrony. Tehran is at least 200 km from the nearest border. Noone reported a visual ? That's what should worry every country,if they can fly in hundreds of jets without your radar seeing it don't mess up with them. If Russia had such capabilities,Putin would be having breakfast meetings in Kiev any time. I attribute success of such missions by IDF and USA to politicians getting out of the way and leaving the military plan and execute the mission. US Congressmen were demanding a vote before declaration of any war. Too many cooks spoil the broth. |
A40:They now support a dictator who murdered hundreds of thousands of his critics over the years.
Iranians all over the world are celebrating his demise, Liberals have to be against Trump. |
SpaceX:Trump cannot get a Nobel prize as long as liberals are in charge. Take the case of Thorbjørn Jagland Norway former Prime Minister. The Epstein associate charged with corruption attempted suicide over his ties to Epstein. He was chair of the Nobel Prize Selection from 2008 -2015 that saw controversial awards to winners like the EU. 6 |
nateevs:I said your learning curve on this will be too long. Ayatollah Khamenei is the final decision maker. Appointed by the gods to rule and guide the Iranians as they wait for the 12th Imam to return. The 12th Imam will return to fight Dajjal as final act of Prophecy.Dajjal is a false prophet who will also break the cross i.e. abolish Xtianity. Khamenei had said or implicated he had spoken to the 12th Imam who would return in his lifetime. If you can't see how whacked out and delusional Khamenei is, he needed atomic bomb to trigger Dajjal and the return of the 12th Imam. Of course he knew it was BS , he lived in luxury welding maximum power. |
obedience4:I guess before day 4 we can take full stock of what whirlwind just blew . In a war supposed to last until the west gives up |
Appleyard:If a school was hit , that's unfortunate and I can confidently say not deliberate. If the Ayatollahs hypersonics, drones, or ballistic missiles had hit a school in Israel , you'd be celebrating no? If not you there would be mass celebrations, about a missile evading Aegis, Arrow, David Sling abd Iron Dome. |
obedience4:I haven't seen if their president is alive too. Seen like some big deception . NYT reporting military general doesn't believe they should strike or something like that. Marco Rubio saying he'll visit Israel the following week. The democrats being fussy about being dragged into a war All while the military equipment and men were being inserted into position The Ayatollah must have called for a top level meeting , they never expected it . |
Gbadebo19:The picture is not enough. We want x-rays of the body and DNA. Plus where he was buried, the GPS coordinates |
Botragelad:Israel was restrained by the public outcry of the International community. Who relied on propaganda from the terrorists |
benalvino3:He don't say nothing about 32k killed by the regine , but he is now seething over 40-60 schoolgirls killed accidentally. "If it weren’t for double standards, liberals would have no standards at all." |
nateevs:Muslims are allowed to lie by their faith as long as it advances the cause of Allah. By declaring a fatwa he fools the public and Iran uses that as evidence they don't want atomic bombs. He is the one who needed the bomb do that he could bulky everyone around ME . You are effectively promulgating lies to people who know better. Are you aware that his Shia sect believed the Mahdi would reappear in his lifetime? Your learning curve will be quite long.

23jerryking:

Raynald:I've been laughed out of here for saying Russia is a rag tag army compared to America. For good measure IDF is also rag tag compared to America. |
Mikasaobi:It supplies water to Palestinian Arabs too and to Gaza. I'm having a hard time figuring out what you want to see in the end. |
[quote author=WriterrNg post=138618007]⚡Iranian drone strike hits Dubai International Airport. Evacuations are underway at the airport. a war crime . Hitting civilian infrastructure,worse it's of a sovereign non combatant nation. |
Khamenei is most likely dead according to netanyahu and Trump. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cn5ge95q6y7t CIA assessment is that the hardliners will pick another hardliner who will be also be targeted.Then the next hardliner will also be targeted Khamenei home before and after. Why lose your life over a bomb you'll never use.

Can't vouch for this. Article is more than 12 hours old as of posting this 🔴 Iran just fired missiles at five countries simultaneously. Here is what actually happened to each of them. Bahrain. Confirmed hit on the US Navy Fifth Fleet headquarters. Bahrain’s own state news agency reported the strike. No casualty figures released yet. This is the command center for every American naval operation in the Persian Gulf. It was struck. UAE. Multiple missiles intercepted by Emirati air defenses. One civilian killed in Abu Dhabi from falling debris. The UAE defense ministry confirmed the intercepts. The Emirates just absorbed an act of war on its sovereign territory from a country it shares a maritime border with. Qatar. Missile intercepted. Zero damage. The Qatari Interior Ministry confirmed. The same country Iran just attacked is the country that hosted Al Udeid for twenty years as a gesture of regional balance. That balance ended this morning. Kuwait. KUNA state news agency confirmed missiles were “dealt with” in Kuwaiti airspace. No reported damage. Kuwait, which stayed neutral through every Gulf crisis since 1991, just had Iranian ballistic missiles flying over its cities. Jordan. Two Iranian ballistic missiles shot down by Jordanian military. Confirmed by the Jordanian armed forces directly. Jordan intercepted Iranian missiles in June 2025 as well. That was in defense of Israel. This time Iran targeted Jordan itself. Saudi Arabia. Fars News claims strikes. No confirmation from any Saudi source. No Tier 1 or Tier 2 verification. Either it did not happen or Riyadh is not yet ready to say it did. Both possibilities carry enormous implications. Now understand what Iran just accomplished strategically. In attempting to retaliate against Israel and America, the IRGC fired missiles at six sovereign nations in a single morning. Not one of those nations attacked Iran. Bahrain did not bomb Tehran. The UAE did not launch strikes on Isfahan. Qatar hosted diplomatic back channels. Kuwait maintained neutrality for three decades. Jordan was mediating. Iran just converted every neutral and semi-neutral state in the Gulf into a potential co-belligerent. Every nation whose airspace was violated, whose civilians were killed, whose sovereignty was breached now has legal and political justification to join whatever coalition forms next. And the damage tells the real story. One civilian dead from debris. Intercepts across four countries. No confirmed destruction of any US military asset. No reported American casualties among 40,000 troops in theater. Iran fired at the entire Gulf and the Gulf caught almost everything. Compare this to what Israel did to Tehran this morning. Precision strikes on the IRGC Intelligence Directorate. Explosions near the Supreme Leader’s office. Three detonations in central Tehran confirmed by Iranian state media itself. One side hit what it aimed at. The other side hit one civilian with debris. This is the asymmetry that will define the next 72 hours. Iran demonstrated intent to strike everywhere and capability to hit almost nothing. The Gulf states demonstrated they can defend themselves. And now those states must decide whether the country that just fired ballistic missiles across their borders gets to do it again. They will not let it happen again. Watch for the joint statement. Watch for airspace coordination between Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Manama, and Kuwait City. Watch for the coalition that Iran just built against itself with a single salvo. Iran did not retaliate against Israel this morning. Iran gave every country in the Middle East a reason to retaliate against Iran. -Croc. Plateau News Update |
