BREAKING: Israel Reportedly Believes Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei Has Been Killed

Israel’s N12 News is reporting that the Israeli government believes that Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is dead.

A translated version of an N12 update from Saturday morning citing a senior Israeli official suggests that the Israelis have assessed that Khamenei is “no longer with us” after the United States and Israel launched a joint operation against the Iranian regime overnight.

Perhaps. Perhaps not. We may not know for weeks.

Meanwhile, visions of sugar plumbs dance through Trump’s head. Democratic forces are getting ready to assert power in Iran! They will greet us with chocolates!

Horseshit. Some radical Shia group, most likely. Or the whole country degenerating into factional chaos, dragging the entire region with them……… but not before they sink an American carrier or two.

I can't wait for the excuses when the first U.S. casualties start occurring. They excoriated Biden (and still do) for the 13 soldiers lost at Abbey Gate during the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

…… while conveniently covering up the fact that Trump set the date for the withdrawal, and it was Trump who signed the release from prison of the guy who subsequently exploded the bomb that killed all of those Americans.

Like Libya. That would take a lot of oil off the global market, for several years. That would be very beneficial for US producers, who have been crying in their Bollinger lately, and for what Trump the Great skims off of his new colony, Venezuela.

Crude Oil Production for Libya

And, of course, this gives Trump the Magnificent an excuse to accelerate the Muslim pogrom in Shinyland.

Terror fears skyrocket after Iran strikes as FBI issues chilling alert

The FBI has issued a chilling warning to Americans as fears grow Iran will strike the US through its terrorist proxies.

The FBI did not say how long the terror alert will remain in effect. Meanwhile, Kristi Noem said Homeland Security is 'in direct coordination with our federal intelligence and law enforcement partners as we continue to closely monitor and thwart any potential threats to the homeland.'

I agree. If the US and Israel blow up the civilian government, the Revolutionary Guard will take over.
