  1. Based on recent events, if I were Iran I would take this as a warning, maybe even a promise, more than pager rattling.

    Lets hope he’s right. Their economy is not doing well thats for sure. Neither are their minions in Gaza, Lebanon, Iraq or Yemen

  3. Unfortunately our people right now are too scared to fight back, it’s only possible with Israel’s interference atp

  4. I wonder how would Iran react if Israel eliminated all their leaders like they did to Hezbollah. Both countries are basically unable to invade the other by land, but Israel is far more superior in these long range attacks.

    Mission creep or just trying to make them sweat? Could Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey ally over diverting Kurdish aspirations towards their easternmost range?

  6. I don’t care who you are and what you believe as long as it doesn’t degrade any humans for things they can’t control. If you practice gender apartheid, racism, or hate and persecute the rainbow peoples than yall are part of the problem and don’t deserve sympathy or defense.

    There’s a reasonable possibility that the Islamic Republic in its current form falls after the Ayatollah’s death. He is 85.

    Netanyahu can be correct about this even if Israel does nothing to hasten the process.

    I wonder how much Russia being bog down in Ukraine affects Iran and middle east extremists diplomatic and combat capabilities.  None of them manage to punch back the way they use to.

  9. Sure hope so.

    Check out pre-Islamic revolution Iran images.

    Literally could have been Dubai.

    It’s absolutely wild.

  10. If I hadn’t watched what happened to Hezbollah over the last two weeks, then I’d probably pass this off as sabre rattling and bluster. But the last fortnight did happen and the funny thing here is I would imagine Tehran is currently looking at this through a similar lens as me.

  11. On this, I hope he’s right. Back in the early 80’s (I’m old), one of my best friends was Iranian and his family had fled right before the revolution. They were such a great family and the history and art of Iran is incredible. I hope the people of Iran can finally shrug off the ayatollahs and repression.

  12. Maybe, but that’s the easy part. The hard part is ensuring it gets replaced by democracy instead of more authoritarianism.

  13. Without any judgement as to whether this is warranted – I think it’s widely agreed that the situation Israel faces with respect to the surrounding nations isn’t something that could go on forever. Israel is currently fighting on two spatial fronts with Hamas in the west, and now Hezbollah in the North – opening a third front without material support in the east with Iran spreads itself too thinly. I’m no military strategist but I would think it would require a coalition of supporting nations to see success if it were waged conventionally. Of course, we have seen recently that Israel is quite comfortable with unconventional means.

    If they engage directly with Iran, this will pull in the US and a number of other nations, which is going to pull in others to reinforce Iran.

  14. All of the Iranians I’ve met would be very excited when the regime collapsed. I’m only hoping that innocent casualties will not have to pay the price alongside the ones in charge.

  15. Hamas did it… they didn’t defeat Israel but they broke them.. they made Israel realize that there’s no negotiating let’s kill everybody! lol

    Nasrallah thought they were fixated on Sinwar.. nope they got Hezbollah entire leadership after inflicting 2,500 casualties from pagers..

    Supreme leader is in hiding.. this did not go the way they planned

  16. My in-laws are Iranian, fled in ‘79. Not exactly “Argo” but damn close. They hope all the time that the Islamic Republic collapses and that they can return home. They show me photos from before and it’s unreal how westernized they were. FIL had a cherry-red Mustang, they went to discos, listened to Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, smoked pot, etc.

    One big mistake by Hezbollah could be a short and quick path to a strike on Iranian targets. If i were Iran, i’d tread lightly as this would be the time for Israel to strike big picture wise

    > Iran for decades used high oil prices (created by own ideological opponents) and Western geopolitical procrastination (created by own ideological opponents) to create nukes.

    > Iranian ideological opponents continue to give Iran high oil prices and time…
