    Their "armor" is gone, and they're ready to talk? Nope. Let Israel do as they will, and rid us of a problem that existed since 1979.

    Aren’t we the country who overthrew an elected Iranian government in the 50s or 60s and installed the assclown whose “leadership” was the genesis for the current situation in Iran?

    You really should be reported to the Secret Service although they seem to agree with you. Utterly shameful.

    What is Hezbollah now anyway? There is no leadership. It is nothing but what Iran decides it should be. There is no rift because there is literally no distinction.

    Other than the leadership of one blown up while the.leadership of the other hides and does nothing..


    It was interesting that the ayatollah was sent to a safe house or hardened Bunker. Would Israel really go after the atatollah?

    I don’t think so. Unless Iran takes a direct shot at Israel

    Does Iran not realize they probably just gave the location of the safehouse/bunker away?

    Here is an interesting article on Israel's options for dealing with this attack from Iran. Iran is described as being increasingly desperate after their main proxy, Hezbollah, was decapitated. I would like to see Iran's weapons factories targeted. That would help both Israel and Ukraine.

    My impression is that Iran's willingness to attack was probably emboldened by the fact that the U.S. president is in the process of vacating the office, and presidents typically do not "start" a war (or jump into one) before handing it over to another president. Biden has given no indication of wanting the U.S. to be involved in the dispute. The truth is, if you want peace in the region, Iran has to be defeated, and the sooner, the better.

    Trump thinks that Biden "has it wrong" and should urge Israel to strike Iran's nuclear facilities, even though military experts say that Israel may not be able to do much damage to the nuclear facilities (although the U.S. probably could). Trump is talking out of his ass, as usual. Probably still worried about "nuclear warming".

    Iran has a new P.R. problem. A young woman was accosted by police for not wearing a hijab (face covering) in public. The police tore some of her clothes in the process of harassing her, and her response was to take the rest of her clothes off in protest and walk around in her underwear. The police then took her away in a police car, after bashing her head into a vehicle. There was no shortage of male students willing to take pictures to document the unfolding drama.

    poor girl. I can't imagine what she has been through since. Looking for more follow up on this and if it creates another movement. sent to a psych ward is the official story..


    The footage has been widely shared in Iran and the student has already become a powerful symbol of resistance, drawing nationwide attention under the hashtag: “Girl of Science and Research.” “If courage had a face,” one user posted on X with the girl’s picture. “That brave girl is my leader,” another user wrote.

    Amir Mahjoub, the director of public relations at the university, said that she was transferred to a “police station” and claimed that she is under “severe mental stress and suffering from psychological disorders”.

    The Farhikhtegan newspaper, affiliated with the university, also claimed, citing “official and unofficial sources” that the student has “severe psychological and mental issues”.

    The report added that, after being handed over to the police by university security staff, she has been hospitalised in a psychiatric facility.
