While morons were marching in western streets calling to globalize the intifada, yiddishe kops were busy planning the Iranian mullahs' demise. Good for Jewish heads! But there is still work to be done in the immediate neighbourhood - Gaza, Judea and Samaria, whence come the murderous crazed and sexually depraved Palestinian assassins. Remember, as both the Bible and Hamlet's father's ghost would say.

You could say Khamenei was Pasteurized!

A Persian friend of mine has been told that the new Ayatollah in waiting just got killed in an airstrike.

I heard that too. Unless we are already on to number 3 LOL

Let’s be clear: this wasn’t about revenge. It was about strategic inevitability. Khamenei wasn’t a ceremonial monarch — he was the architect of repression, terror financing, proxy wars, and ideological jihad. When a regime’s supreme authority exports violence for decades, he becomes a lawful node in the conflict architecture. Israel crossed a Rubicon because it concluded deterrence had expired. You can debate the risk. You can debate escalation. But you cannot pretend the status quo was stable. This was a calculated gamble that removing the head might destabilize the body. History will judge the outcome. For now, the era of untouchable ayatollahs is over.

Thank you for the excellent insight.

For over 40 years, the evil Iranian regime has called for the destruction of Israel and America; investing in jihadist proxy armies as a ring of fire around Israel, been responsible for worldwide terror attacks and suppressed / murdered its own people.

Finally, the regime gets what it deserves and people like Antonio Guterres, UN head and Kier Starmer the UK Prime Minister and many other so called wise educated people, express their disgust at this attempt to rid the world of evil.

These latter people are not fit to hold office.

Thank you Joshua Hoffman...you are the best. My friend Joan Swirsky introduced me to you at the beginning of the Oct. 7th war.

This was a terrific analysis and great insight into how the Israeli (and American) intelligence works.

Has the opposition coalesced enough to have certain persons/entities that can “take over”? Is there someone like Pahlavi who can unite the various ethnic and social groups, i.e. Persians, Kurds, Sunnis, etc?

I have been ranting about the ability of the opposition to defend themselves. During the overwhelming protests of a couple of months ago, the IRGC and the Basij were just gunning the protestors down like sitting ducks. If the protesters can fight back, kill some of the IRGC rank and file, the defections will come much quicker. They need some firepower.

Do we think that over the last few months that the CIA and Mossad have been getting arms to the opposition?

Khamenei was not a legitimate head of state. Neither Israel nor the United States recognize the Islamic Republic as legitimate and for good reason, it is essentially a terrorist organization that controls a giant country. He should have been taken out years ago.

‏עם ישראל חי. תודה רבה תודה רבה Josh Hoffman! 💪🇮🇱

I long ago learned that Joshua Hoffman has deep and unique insight into many facets of our people’s survival. Thus the name Future of Jewish. Now I read that knowledge includes clandestine spy craft! I pray the Iranians don’t subscribe. Happy Purim.

Thorough. Thorough in detail. Thorough in the dramatic buildup. Through that opportunities are about to appear. Thank you.

I noticed you said from Tel Aviv to Korea. You of all people should know that the capital of Israel is Jerusalem not Tel Aviv.

I see who is fuliminating against this....Kamala, Tim Kane....Schumer! and the scum mayor of NYC. Imagine a world without Kamala....we have it. I feared we'd never see this day. For those who remember NIGHTLINE and 444 days of American hostages....this should be sweet. Not much to add to the other comments. Khameini got his martyrdom and I presume his allotment of virgins in Muslim heaven. My friend , an Israeli, in TA is running to the shelter....otherwise she's good and satisfied.

For the life of me, I can't figure out why this is so hard for so many people to understand:

“We don’t know what will happen next, but whatever happens in Iran after the war is better than the current regime.”
