What Khamenei’s death means for Russia and China

It took only a minute to change the world.

Within the first 60 seconds of Operation Epic Fury, Israeli officials claimed, Iran’s supreme leader and his principal henchmen were dead.

But the precision-guided missiles that struck central Tehran in the opening salvo of the war did not merely kill Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and upend half a century of Iranian history. They also underscored a more basic reality – where true power still lies in the world.

The Target For Tonight is … Tehran

Amazing what our forces, and Israel’s forces, were able to do in one day’s work.

I was all set to lay out what I think will be a near-ideal campaign strategy for midterm election success, a strategy that will allow President Trump to strengthen his political hold over Congress during his last two years as president, something that almost no president has achieved in either the 20th or 21st centuries.

Have a laugh at George Galloway!

The hypocrisy of the West’s weepers for the Islamic Republic

I almost feel sorry for the left. For today they’re going to have to pretend to give a damn about Iranian life despite having ignored the slaughter of thousands of Iranians by the demented Islamic regime literally just last month. They’re going to have to take to social media and cry ‘Oh no, Iranians might die’, despite having said nothing when Iranians did die in their thousands at the hands of the theocratic tyrants who rule over them. They’re going to be forced, by events, to make a spectacle of their own depthless hypocrisy, to expose to the world the cant and outright inhumanity that too often fuels what passes for ‘anti-imperialism’ these days.

Iranian sleeper agents have infiltrated the US. Now ex-FBI boss warns of imminent terror attacks on American soil

A former FBI boss has issued a stark warning over fears Iran could activate sleeper agents in the US to carry out terror attacks on American soil as vengeance for Saturday’s bombardment.

Chris Swecker, an assistant FBI director in the mid-2000s, said Hezbollah and other Iran-linked groups may feel they have nothing left to lose after Trump unleashed Operation Epic Fury this weekend.

Swecker told the Daily Mail: ‘We’ve got a cornered animal here, and if ever we’re going to see attacks on the United States, this would be the catalyst for that.’

I wonder why Dearborn has been so quiet.

Trump insiders accused of ‘profiting from war’ after $1m bet on Iran attack

A US senator has accused those close to Donald Trump of “profiting off war and death” in the wake of suspiciously timed bets predicting a US strikes on Iran.

Chris Murphy, a US senator for Connecticut, said he would launch a crackdown on so-called prediction markets after analysts raised concerns about bets on Polymarket.

Bubblemaps, a cryptocurrency analytics company, identified what it said were “six suspected insiders [who] made $1.2m (£892k) betting on a US strike on Iran”.

Mark Carney supports the latest attacks on Iran. Don’t expect the Canadian public to share that view

As I write this late Saturday morning, news is still coming in about the joint U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. The targets reportedly included senior regime figures and missile infrastructure. Iran has responded. World leaders are trading statements. The situation feels fluid and dangerous.

Prime Minister Mark Carney has reacted in a way that is far different than how former prime minister Justin Trudeau likely would have responded. Carney reaffirmed that Iran must never obtain a nuclear weapon, reiterated Canada’s support for Israel’s right to defend itself, and backed U.S. action aimed at preventing further regional destabilization. At the same time, he urged protection for civilians and emphasized the need for stability.

I think annexation of the willing is looking better and better. I don’t want to share air with Mullah Regime supporters.

Ten Thoughts on Operation Epic Fury and Its Aftermath

Why the strike on Iran was legal, overdue, and a strategic earthquake.

As I write this on Saturday night, there is still a lot going on, and as such I’ll throw myself on the mercy of our readers for whatever has gone out of date between its writing and your reading.

It’s a very fluid situation.

But in what looks like a very, very successful joint operation between the Israeli Defense Forces and the U.S. Navy and Air Force, a significant decapitation strike has greatly degraded the Iranian regime — including harvesting some 40 top leaders of the Iranian regime, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, whose death has sparked worldwide celebrations from Iranians and Iranian expatriates.

LILLEY: Taking out Iran’s Ayatollah should be celebrated

Ding dong, the Ayatollah is dead and the whole world should be celebrating.

While the Iranians were denying the death of Supreme Leader Ali Hosseini Khamenei throughout Saturday, the evidence points to his much-welcome demise.

Who Is Upholding Western Civilization?

How fitting that the US and Israel finally retaliated against 47 years of aggression by the regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran during the week of the Biblical Purim Festival.

Then, roughly 2,300 years ago, Haman, viceroy to Persia’s King Ahasuerus, threw a lot (“pur”, plural “purim”) to determine the date by which he would kill all the Jews in the empire. This plan’s successor sits (or sat) in Tehran’s Palestine Square: a “doomsday clock” counting down the minutes until Israel is supposed no longer to exist: 2040, to be exact.

Trump Confirms 48 Iranian Leaders Have Been Killed in U.S.-Israeli Strikes

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday morning that Operation Epic Fury has already eliminated at least 48 senior Iranian officials, including the former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Speaking with Fox News Senior White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich, President Trump said that the United States has a specific list of priority targets remaining after dozens were taken off the board during the opening salvo of the joint U.S.-Israeli military operation on Saturday.

Three ships attacked near Strait of Hormuz as fears grow of oil price rises

At least three ships have been attacked near the Strait of Hormuz, as Iran continues to launch strikes across the Middle East in response to an ongoing attack against it by the US and Israel.

Two vessels have been struck, and an “unknown projectile” was reported to have “exploded in very close proximity” to a third, the UK Maritime Trade Operations Centre (UKMTO) said.

Iran has warned ships not to pass through the strait, which carries about 20% of the world’s oil and gas.

The world’s most evil regime is on the brink – and Britain has nothing to do with it

Usual suspects attend Pro-Mullah Regime Rally in London

Where was Britain? As missiles killed the Ayatollah in Tehran, his office in London remained open. His ambassador has not been expelled. His Revolutionary Guards have not been banned in this country, even as they are under attack in their own.

Iran, together with its allies in Beijing and Moscow, is the clearest global evil since the Nazi regime. Its tentacles stretch into Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen and Iraq, and into the campuses, mosques and protest movements of Britain. Yet our response has been more Neville Chamberlain than Winston Churchill.

PM Carney rules out Canada’s military participation in Middle East conflict

MUMBAI, India – Prime Minister Mark Carney said while he has had discussions with U.S. President Donald Trump about the possibility of strikes in Iran over “recent weeks,” he does not expect Canada to take a military role in any continued escalation, after the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran, Saturday.

That’s probably a good thing given Canada’s contribution would likely begin and end with our elite “Silly March Brigade”

The UK has a huge 5th column of dangerous Muslims as do France & Germany so it’s understandable that the Brits would seek appeasement. The US has its share but allows for an armed citizenry and that makes all the difference.

The C.I.A. Helped Pinpoint a Gathering of Iranian Leaders. Then Israel Struck.

Ayatollah Khamenei – “Mi smouldering rubble es su smouldering rubble”

Shortly before the United States and Israel were poised to launch an attack on Iran, the C.I.A. zeroed in on the location of perhaps the most important target: Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the country’s supreme leader.

The C.I.A. had been tracking Ayatollah Khamenei for months, gaining more confidence about his locations and his patterns, according to people familiar with the operation. Then the agency learned that a meeting of top Iranian officials would take place on Saturday morning at a leadership compound in the heart of Tehran. Most critically, the C.I.A. learned that the supreme leader would be at the site.

Our Liberal-Left can crazy with the best any nation has to offer.
