Are you going to pretend that under the Ayatollah that thousands if not tens of thousands of Iranian women weren't brutally raped and murdered?
Are we pretending that this doesn't happen under Sharia Law?
Did Tyler Durden tell you that the brutality that Muslims commit against their citizens for falling out of line, particularly the women are just another WMD bullshit line?
These people are fucking animals, Sigs. Their religion/cult is a plague on the world.
The death of the Ayatollah is nothing but a good thing for everyone in the entire world, especially those who lived under their brutal regime. Islam needs to be eradicated from the face of the earth.
Don't pretend you care about anybody dying in Iran now, after the fact when you didn't give a shit about any of them dying every day before the attack.
You can feel free to argue against the attack Iran all you want using your same anti-America line you use for every other world conflict, but don't give me that line of bullshit. It holds zero currency in any argument against me.

Trump Has Lost the Plot in Iran
Tehran hopes that he will declare a hollow victory and abort the mission.
By Karim Sadjadpour | March 4, 2026, 6:50 PM ET
Karim Sadjadpour is a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, where he focuses on Iran and U.S. foreign policy toward the Middle East.

egy/686235/
Like many of his predecessors over the past five decades, Donald Trump risks having his presidency hijacked by Iran. The 1979 revolution and subsequent hostage crisis ended Jimmy Carter’s presidency. The Iran-Contra affair tainted Ronald Reagan’s. Iranian machinations in postwar Iraq sabotaged George W. Bush’s. The Iran nuclear deal—and the bitter partisan fight over it—consumed the second half of Barack Obama’s presidency. The October 7 attacks on Israel by Hamas, a member of Iran’s “Axis of Resistance,” triggered a brutal war that subsumed Joe Biden’s. Trump may have envisioned a second term spent striking deals to resolve wars, but Iran has now sucked him in, too.
What Trump seems to have hoped would be a Venezuela redux—a quick decapitation of the regime followed by a swift deal with the leader’s successor—has deteriorated into a regional war. Tehran telegraphed that this would happen, but it still apparently caught Trump by surprise. Now the United States is approaching a quagmire as news reports suggest that the CIA is arming Kurdish groups inside Iran.
In Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez—who concurrently oversaw the ministry of petroleum and the ministry of economy and finance while serving as vice president—maintained deep foreign connections, including a private back channel to the Trump administration even before President Nicolás Maduro’s capture. Her willingness to meet with CIA Director John Ratcliffe for a two-hour summit in Caracas underscored her authority to pivot the entire state apparatus toward a new energy partnership with the West.
The post-Khamenei landscape in Iran lacks any such singular, empowered interlocutor. The Islamic Republic’s parallel power structure, coupled with a 47-year ideology of resistance, has for decades created an enduring dilemma: Those who want to make amends with America cannot deliver, while those who may be able to deliver do not want to make amends. No one currently in Tehran has the will or the weight to break from the inherited stance of resistance and broker a deal à la Delcy Rodríguez.
Given the pace of Israeli political assassinations inside Iran, the architecture of power in the Islamic Republic is constantly changing. Mojtaba Khamenei, the 56-year-old son of the assassinated supreme leader, is now reportedly the top contender to replace his father. Within the regime’s hard-line circles—men who command little popular support but control every organ of repression—his stock has risen in the wake of the attacks that killed his father, mother, and wife. Although there are reports that he may have been wounded, Mojtaba is reportedly keen to take the reins of power. Backed by two particularly ruthless strongmen of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hossein Taeb and Ahmad Vahidi, he would resume his father’s ruinous legacy.
Yet Mojtaba faces a crisis of both legitimacy and longevity. He lacks a public mandate, a recent Bloomberg report ties him to extensive overseas money laundering, and he would have to elude Israel’s continuous campaign of decapitation. His father ruled for 37 years—Mojtaba might not last 37 days.
In the meantime, sources inside Tehran suggest that the country is essentially being administered by two individuals: Ali Larijani and Mohammed Baqer Qalibaf. Larijani is managing political affairs and Qalibaf, a former IRGC commander, is managing military affairs. During normal times, these two men have a rivalrous relationship—both are former presidential candidates who aspire to lead the country—but during war, they have banded together.
Larijani sees himself as a pragmatic revolutionary insider in the style of China’

Sources Briefed On Iran War Say U.S. Has No Plans For What Comes Next
“The administration doesn’t have a clue. They do not have an actual, real rationale, endgame, or plan for the aftermath of this.”
By Nick Turse | March 5 2026, 4:43 p.m.
https://theintercept.com/2026/03/05/trump-iran-war-plan-cia/
The Trump administration’s war on Iran is reckless and ill-planned, four government officials briefed on the attacks told The Intercept.
Even in classified briefings, Trump administration officials laid out no clear vision for the U.S. war on Iran or its aftermath, the sources said.
“The administration doesn’t have a clue. They do not have an actual, real rationale, endgame, or plan for the aftermath of this,” one of the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss classified matters, told The Intercept.
“There is no thought process into what any of this means long term,” said another. “It’s not coordinated regime change. It’s just ‘bomb them until they’re less of a threat.’”
Asked about the administration’s plan for Iran after the war, that official responded: “Whatever.”
Internal criticism of the attacks comes as President Donald Trump teased that the war could go on “forever” despite promising his administration would avoid Middle East “forever wars.” Trump has floated the idea of de facto American rule of Iran through a puppet regime, similar to the leaders who have run Venezuela since the U.S. attacked that country and kidnapped its president, Nicolás Maduro, in January. “What we did in Venezuela, I think, is the perfect scenario,” Trump said on Sunday. “Leaders can be picked.”
“I have to be involved in the appointment, like with Delcy [Rodríguez] in Venezuela,” Trump told Axios on Thursday.
Officials predicted that the war would have negative consequences for decades, echoing the results of the last U.S. ouster of an Iranian leader. One of the sources, who has experience in the Middle East and talked to The Intercept on the condition of anonymity, likened this conflict to the 2003 Iraq War, which was also illegal, ill-planned, and resulted in decades of regional instability.
Trump has repeatedly called for an Iranian uprising in the wake of the U.S. attacks. “The hour of your freedom is at hand,” he declared on Saturday. “When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take.” But behind closed doors, the U.S. has made it clear that support for would-be Iranian revolutionaries isn’t certain — or even likely. In classified briefings, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said the U.S. might intervene to support the Iranian people if an opportunity for ushering in democracy presented itself, but that the U.S. was primarily focused on a discrete set of tactical goals to degrade Iran’s military power, two of the government officials told The Intercept.
One of the sources briefed on the attacks evoked the 1953 coup in which the U.S. and British governments toppled Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh. The overthrow of Iran’s first and only democratically elected government ushered in more than two decades of dictatorship under U.S.-backed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and his dreaded secret police, SAVAK. “Trump’s history only goes back as far as the revolution. But 1979 started in 1953. And this [war] goes back to that [coup],” the source told The Intercept, referencing the 1979 Iranian revolution.
Trump has also referenced the 1979 revolution, but not the anti-American backlash that fed it. “You go back 37 years, really 47 years, close to 50, look at what’s happened and all the death,” Trump said to CNN, referencing those killed by Iran since the revolution.
The U.S. official scoffed at Trump’s one-sided history, noting this war’s roots stretch back to the CIA’s coup almost 75 years ago. “It could be decades before we know how badly this will affect us. But you can bet it will,” the official said, referencing the lag between the

Even the writers at Vox know that I'm right. And they hate to admit it because they love Muslim terrorists as much as they hate America and Americans.
VOX: Iran had a plan to fight Israel and the US. It all collapsed after October 7.

This is not how it was supposed to go for Iran.
For years, the Islamic Republic worked to build up a network of allies throughout the Middle East, widely known as the “axis of resistance,” which, in the event Iran itself were attacked, could rain down destruction on Israel, the US military, and American allies in the region.
Key takeaways
- Iran’s “axis of resistance” has failed. Built as a deterrent force meant to overwhelm Israel and constrain US intervention, the network of regional allies that included Hezbollah, the Houthis, Iraqi militias, and Hamas has responded weakly to the US-Israeli strikes on Iran.
- The key turning point for the axis was Hamas’s October 7 attacks on Israel. While Iran may not have directly orchestrated Hamas’s attack, the war it triggered allowed Israel to systematically degrade Tehran’s allies.
- As a result, Iran is now more isolated and vulnerable than at any point in decades, giving Israel and the US greater freedom of action, as seen in the current war.
The axis includes Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon, Houthi rebels in Yemen, and militants in Iraq. At its peak, Iran relied on the network to promote its hardline brand of Shia Islam against rival powers associated with Sunni Islam, intimidate governments into submission, and scare off Western threats. Perhaps even more than its ballistic missiles stockpile, its nascent nuclear program, and its conventional military, these regional groups were Iran’s deterrent against exactly the sort of all-out attack we’re not seeing.
“The idea was never to be engaged in a war of attrition,” said Emile Hokayem, a senior fellow and expert on Middle Eastern armed groups and the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London. “Everyone would fire at once, so that Israel would be overwhelmed before the US was able to completely deploy its defenses.”
And yet, since the joint US-Israeli airstrikes against Iran began over the weekend, killing its supreme leader and devastating the regime’s military and infrastructure, the response from the axis of resistance has been fairly feeble.
The Iran-backed Lebanese militia Hezbollah, which in the past has boasted of the ability to destroy Tel Aviv, fired a “handful” of rockets into Israel, which prompted a much larger campaign of airstrikes by Israel in southern Lebanon and Beirut. Wary of being dragged into yet another war, the Lebanese government has taken the unprecedented step of banning military activities by the group. Yemen’s Houthis, who dramatically shut down most global shipping through the Red Sea two years ago, have been conspicuously quiet. Militants in Iraq claimed a drone attack on a US military base in Erbil, but the attack was intercepted without any casualties, and some groups seem to be staying quiet.
The impotent response is part of a larger story of the Iranian regime’s collapse from a fearsome military power to a weakened state fighting for its survival against an emboldened America and Israel. Rather than secure it from attack, its strategy of backing proxy forces in conflicts abroad played a critical part in dragging it into the existential crisis it faces now.
And while there are a number of factors that led to its unraveling, there’s one clear moment when it all started to go south: Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack on Israel.
Pride before the fall
In the spring of 2018, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had every reason to feel confident about Iran’s position in the Middle East. It was arguably the moment of greatest power and influence for the axis of resistance.
Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad’s forces had taken the last major rebel stronghold near Damascus — seemingly ending the threat to the Iran-backNOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME

Donald Trump must stop soon - The Economist This Week
Robert Guest, Deputy editor
An Iranian dissident once showed up in my office in Washington. Ahmad Batebi had been arrested, aged 21, after a photo of him attending a mass protest in Iran appeared on the cover of The Economist. He told me how the regime tortured him in repulsive ways and made him listen to recordings of what he was told was his mother being tortured, too. After nine years of horror, he escaped to America.
The Economist has no illusions about the depravity of Iran’s theocracy. Nonetheless, we question the wisdom of America’s and Israel’s war on it. So far, “Operation Epic Fury” has been a stunning aerial success. Iran’s supreme leader was killed on day one. But President Donald Trump has offered no coherent plan for what happens next, nor even a clear set of war aims. Is he aiming for regime change? Or merely the neutering of Iran’s nuclear-weapons programme? Will the war last for days, weeks or months?
He may get lucky. Dictatorships often look impregnable just before they collapse. Maybe, just maybe, American air power will create an opportunity for Iranians to overthrow their hated rulers. But it seems more likely that one thuggish theocrat will be replaced by another. Meanwhile, Iran is hurling missiles at its neighbours and disrupting the world’s energy supply. Chaos is spreading across the Middle East; civil war could yet erupt in Iran. Our columnists look at how China sees the war, how Israel does, and how Europe’s muddled response hides a bright side. Our cover leader argues that Mr Trump should find a way to cut it short.

Yeah. So I've heard. *yawn*

War? What war?
U.S. officials say Iran can barely defend itself as strikes delay selection of new supreme leader
Expanding Iran war dragging in previously skeptical European leaders
Quote:
President Trump and defense officials praised the U.S. war effort in Iran on Thursday, saying Operation Epic Fury had almost eliminated the Islamic republic’s ability to defend itself and launch retaliatory strikes.
Mr. Trump said joint strikes by U.S. and Israeli forces had eliminated most of Iran’s air force and missile defenses, and continued assaults were making communication on the ground impossible.
“The United States military, together with the wonderful Israeli partners, continues to totally demolish the enemy, far ahead of schedule and at levels that people have never seen before,” Mr. Trump said at the White House.
The president said the U.S. had sunk 24 of Iran’s naval vessels.
Speaking at U.S. Central Command headquarters in Florida, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Adm. Brad Cooper, head of CENTCOM, echoed the president’s comments. They added that retaliatory attacks by Iran’s drones and missiles had declined by more than 90% since the start of the war.
Adm. Cooper said U.S. bombers had struck more than 200 targets deep within Iran in three days.
Mr. Hegseth rejected growing concerns among lawmakers and analysts that U.S. strikes have put extreme pressure on American stockpiles of precision-guided munitions.
“Iran is hoping that we cannot sustain this, which is a really bad calculation,” Mr. Hegseth said. “We’ve got no shortage of munitions.”
Adm. Cooper and Mr. Hegseth had previously confirmed that the U.S. would soon switch to less-expensive munitions, though they said this was because air superiority had been achieved and less-sophisticated munitions could therefore be used with much less risk.
War powers bid fails
Congress failed to pass a war powers resolution that would have halted Mr. Trump’s actions in Iran.
The attempt in the House failed on a 212-219 vote one day after a similar measure died in the Senate.
The administration and congressional Republicans say Iran is an imminent threat, and the strikes Saturday were carried out as a way to stop the U.S. from getting hit harder if they had waited.
“We have seen Iran as an imminent threat against America, not just for the last four days, not just for the last four months or four years, but for the last 40 years,” said Rep. Brian Mast, Florida Republican and chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Iran has rejected U.S. and Israeli assessments that it is losing the war and has only increased its hostile rhetoric over the past few days.
Iranian cleric Abdollah Javadi-Amoli told state-affiliated media Wednesday that Shiite Muslims require the blood of Israelis and Mr. Trump.
Eliminating Iran’s missile and drone production capacity has emerged as the primary justification for the U.S. war with Iran.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Mr. Hegseth said this week that Iran was developing a “conventional shield” to protect the uranium enrichment infrastructure that enabled its pursuit of nuclear weapons.
Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby reaffirmed this position before the House Armed Services Committee on Thursday and once again reminded lawmakers that the Trump administration is not interested in nation-building or regime change in Iran.
The future U.S. role
Despite such claims, Mr. Trump said he should play a role in selecting a new leader for Iran.
He said Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the apparent front-runner to replace him as Iran’s supreme leader, would be an unacceptable leader.
Intense U.S. and Israeli airstrikes may have seriously delayed Iran’s selection of a new supreme leader.
Iran’s Assembly of Experts, the 88-member body tasked with selecting a new supreme leader, has not revealed its choice nor the top contenders.
International analysts have predicted that, among other clerical leaders and former Iranian poNOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME

There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!

Imagine where Democrats are going to be standing before the next Presidential election in 2028 if we've got a working Middle East and Venezuela is in the middle of a renaissance and all 8 Million Venezuelan refugees currently camping out here finally go back home.
Once again, Trump has put the Democratic Party and the people who vote for them in the extremely unenviable position to root against America and Americans every day.
Not only that, but he's also put them in the extremely unenviable position of defending a broken status-quo that oversaw the managed decline of Venezuela, Iran, the entire Middle East, Europe and America.
And we're here to record all of it.
