Feel free to use this a megathread for the US/Israeli war on Iran.
They actually let him stay in his house? Did they want him as a martyr or something?
Khamenei was the main reason Iran did not develop nuclear weapons up to now. With him gone, that becomes a much more likely scenario.
How?
Khamenei issued a religieus ruling against developing nukes
But they were still enriching uranium covertly. How’s that?
Having enough 60% enriched uranium to make a thermonuclear bomb if they change the ruling ≠ weaponizing their nuclear program
Israel going unchallenged in the region will be the worst possible outcome if Iran falls.
They also bombed and killed several members of his family, including his daughter, granddaughter, and son in law.
Hmm yes I think I will remove the respected leader that opposed Iran having a nuclear weapons program. 👀
profit. it’s always about profit.
Whelp.
He was 86. I don’t know to what extent he was still in charge. It may have been anywhere from still fully in charge to just a figurehead.
Rest in peace. May the US Empire and its dogs crumble.
Americans love bravado. This will be millions of Republican votes.
Wait for the market to open
The first thing to die in war is the truth.
Truth and more than 80 elementary school girls.
Of course, but it wouldn’t make sense to lie about this, either way he was a 86 year old, and I’m not going to pretend that the Iranian regime was a paragon of freedom.
That regime has been practicing for this very day for DECADES. They have plans B, C, D, E, F, and G on the books.
In this case, truth primarily in the form of marriage advice. Have you seen his actual posts?
Huh what mine?
No I mean the cleric
This is literally fascism.
I have no idea what you’re talking about. The Iran? USA? Israel?
And why is it fascism? Like a lot of what has happened in the USA was pretty fascist, but starting a war isn’t part of the list. There are a few definitions of fascism (e.g. by Adorno), so which one are you using here?
What do you mean, I’m really confused here.
Define fascism
op might be referring to perpetual war
Oh true I’m so aggro rn. I was thinking like the lib conception of having a charismatic leader = personality cult = fascism. I really do love having that argument too much
Humanity
Naw it’s more fun to get historical with it
Well war over now right? Trump said the goal was regime change. We’ll mission accomplished. Right?
The regime is not one person not to say that trump would not find more excuses if the regime really fall
Ya I kinda knew it, I don’t think Israel would risk the embarrassment of being wrong.
There was enough confusion that Reuters initially walked it back while the death of his family members was confirmed.
Yeah but I just had a gut feeling this time 🤷♂️
Lol they just chew up car cables. Which I approve of
