The world became safer and more stable when Hitler was gone. So too it will be now that Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has been given the same fate.
YES, yes…. Sadly and unfortunately many do not appreciate or understand the significance of these events, not enough readership of FUTURE of JEWISH! Keep up the good work, educate and spread the word to the world, you will be confirmed. Superb writing and analysis.
Trump promised strength, not seminars. Netanyahu promised security, not slogans. If this operation marks the end of Khamenei’s rule, then both leaders delivered on what they said from the start: deterrence through action. The lesson is simple — regimes built on exporting chaos eventually meet consequences. For years, the world debated, delayed, and doubted. Israel didn’t. America backed it. The result is a geopolitical shockwave that resets the board. Peace isn’t built by wishing radicals into moderation; it’s built by making clear the cost of aggression. Promises made. Promises kept. Now the region — and the world — recalibrates.
Sadly, so many people are socially conditioned (i.e., brainwashed) into Trump Derangement Syndrome that they're now trying to find ways to condemn him for this, even though, as the article states, it's on par with liberating Europe from Hitler. The pretzel logic they're capable of is amazing. But as one commentator said to the woke mob, if you said nothing when the 32,000 Iranians were murdered, then do the world a favour and continue to keep your mouth shut now.
We are not out of the woods yet. Look for the price of oil to go way up. Iran already has sleeper cells in the US, which could be activated - attacking shopping malls, energy infrastructire, etc.
It certainly was the typical Muslim acting out his Koran, Sira and Hadith directives for sure. That is why I mentioned Kurt Schlicter's book.
There are probably a lot of Muslim sleepr cells here. The FBI has 15,000 agents but their focus under Biden was on PTA meetings, The Catholic Church and Pro-Life Prayer Breakfasts. I think the rot there is so deep that Patel can't do a whole hell of a lot, so it is up to us to protect ourselves. Austin is a Blue City in a Red State so no surprise it happened there.
Israeli Intel supplied the target. The hit was on. Praying Pahlavi can take over Persia, eliminate the theocracy and reignite freedom for their people.
Israel is not making the world safer. And neither is the US.
To attack another country that is not engaged in an active or an imminent attack against your own country is a violation of international law, just as it would be a violation of any meaningful body of law for me to assault someone who I suspected might attack me. That would be the same even if that person had a history of assaulting me. Many women who have been found guilty of killing abusive husbands or boyfriends are suffering witnesses to this rough aspect of law.
Neither the US nor Israel is an innocent victim. Neither has a clean record of defending victims based on the principle of defending victims.
Palestine must be welcoming and safe for Israelis. Israel must be safe and welcoming for Palestinians. Anything else is preparation for more escalating recipirocal violence. Anything else is lawless. Anything else is a recipe for more genocide.
Brilliant, Josh, as usual! Thank you. I so wish you were writing in the New York Times so the liberal left American Jewish community could read you. חג פורים שמח עם ישראל חי! ⭐💫✨
This article says the Ali Khamenei wants to massacre Jews, but is unable to do so. If that is so why haven't there been massacres of Jews within Iran? There are about 9000 Jews in Iran today.
I shed tears seeing thousands of people celebrating here in Vancouver yesterday. We have a large Persian community out here and to see the joy and hope in them is a blessing.
Joshua, an excellent analysis as usual, however I am tired of the US and Israel bearing the burden of making the world safer. It is Israeli and American blood that is shed constantly while the phony, impotent western nations reap the benefits. Israel and the US need to do what is best for themselves and it is clear that those nations that constantly bemoan our actions, criticize us endlessly are hypocrites.
Like you, I hope that the Iranian people can take back their nation and remove the tyranny that they have lived under for nearly 60 years, but I am also a realist. While this 'Hitler' was eliminated there is only a small window of opportunity for a better middle east.
Even as we watch events unfolding, the Arab nations that were attacked by Iran are only protesting and complaining and will not engage in the fight, this inspite of the billions of dollars they have spent on defense.
Once the fighting stops, I don't expect any changes in the mindset of the Arab nations. They may not be as aggressive in their physical attacks on Israel, but I don't expect any rapprochement. If anything, the countries of Qatar, Turkey, Saudi Arabia will increase their efforts to poison the minds of the western world to isolate Israel even more. The EU and UN are totally impotent and many in the EU are bemoaning the loss of Khamenei and calling the US and Israel war mongers--this from so called western democracies. Perhaps the best that can be hoped for is a cold peace like the one Israel has with Egypt and Jordan.
If you are correct then Israel and the US should declare an immediate unilateral cease fire so that Iran can show that in fact that the “Wicked Witch is dead.”
It may not be that simple. Reports indicate that Khamenei has designated three specific senior clerics to replace him. The primary figures currently in contention or positioned for leadership include: i) Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei, current Chief Justice of Iran. ii) Ali Asghar Hejazi, Chief of Political-Security Affairs in the Supreme Leader's office; iii) Hassan Khomeini, grandson of Ruhollah Khomeini. Also possible: iv) Mojtaba Khamenei, the second son, who has deep ties to the IRGC. v) Alireza Arafi, senior cleric and deputy chair of the Assembly of Experts, heads Iran's seminary system. vi) Ali Larijani, former Parliament Speaker and veteran powerbroker. If the Supreme Leader is incapacitated or dies, Article 111 of the Iranian Constitution mandates that a Provisional Leadership Council temporarily assume duties. This council typically consists of the President (currently Masoud Pezeshkian), the Chief Justice (Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei), and one cleric from the Guardian Council.
They all have blood on their hands. To be on the safe side, they should all be taken out of commission. Insofar as the objective is now regime change, they should all face justice of one kind or another. The USA did a terrible job of it with Japan after WWII, pardoning some men who were guilty of incredible atrocities (eg, Unit 731). I hope the same will not happen here. They need to face justice.
Update: Now also confirmed dead are: Iran’s Defence Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh, and Ali Shamkhani, secretary of the Islamic Republic’s defense council, and Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps commander Mohammad Pakpour, the head of Khamenei’s military bureau Mohammad Shirazim, and Saleh Asadi, the Supreme Command’s senior intelligence officer.
Tell that to the thousands of Iranian people who died in the past 2 months attempting to topple this regime. Anything is better than the demon inspired genocidal mullah regime.

What better gift ?

Paying another $0.50 to $1.00 a gallon at the gas station is worth every penny.
Having just finished reading Kurt Schlicter's "The Attack" about Muslim sleeper cells, I do worry about that.
wasn’t that a terrorist attack at that bar in Austin, TX?

This was superb! He was the epitome of evil.
Yes, yes Ms Sullivan. Thank you.
On learning of the death of Khomeini, I thought of this comment by Clarence Darrow:
I never killed anybody but I have had a great deal of satisfaction over many obituary notices that I have read.
I won't be invited to Khamenei's funeral but I approve of it highly.

Thank for you valuable input, Mohammed, but your goats need tending.
“Thank for you valuable input, Mohammed, but your goats need tending.”??????
An anti-Semitic comment, that is also in line with the strong impulse toward genocide of too many Israelis and too many of their supporters.
Palestine must always be welcoming and safe for Israelis. Israel must always safe and welcoming for Palestinians. It’s the only decent way.

6 million reasons why Hamanei 2026 had to go.

Good!
Were any of these potential successors eliminated today as part of the Roaring Lion?
The chief judge retired today. There were a bunch of other surprising senior job openings as well, but no one else on your list that I know of.

Does it tho? He's basically Hitler, so it doesn't get worse.
