They also bombed and killed several members of his family, including his daughter, granddaughter, and son in law.

A🔻atar of 🔻engeanceThere was enough confusion that Reuters initially walked it back while the death of his family members was confirmed.
NBC and BBC both reporting this but they do not link to the source. So far I have not seen an Iranian source saying this.
There aren’t any articles from irib yet, but multiple sites say that irib confirmed it live on TV about half an hour ago: p.dw.com/p/59bSu
CGTN just reported it from the Fars newswire

I don’t know what you expect from a source, there’s a very good chance that you don’t know Farsi. The title of that video,
رهبر انقلاب به ملکوت اعلی پیوست
Roughly translates to “the leader of the revolution joined the great kingdom.”
SeeMarkFlyThe first thing to die in war is the truth.
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?
No I mean the cleric
queermunist she/herHmm yes I think I will remove the respected leader that opposed Iran having a nuclear weapons program. 👀
The martyr is immortal, so what exactly does the US think it’s going to accomplish here?
In a society that reveres martyrdom above all else 🤔
I feel like its a goal of the MIC as it gives them a reason to exist. Use violence, terror, kill civilians to create more enemies and justify more military spending.
Not a good long term strategy, but the orphan crushing machine still has people willing to operate it.
The US generally benefits from depopulating & undeveloping resource rich or strategically marginal areas for coercion, keeping costs down, denial purposes, or just to keeping value chains stable, but this risks blowing up the petrodollar system. I think they might actually be completely insane. What did WarClaude™ tell them?
davelWell they created isis last time they displayed their level of stupidity. This time… Super isis?
Yes the goal is 100% super-ISIS they wanted to get this going in Xinjiang and Central Asia. ISIS is actually smart here’s the thing. The US benefits from having a higher level of productivity due to advanced technology, and basically cannot survive without laying waste to entire regions to keep them underdeveloped + access resources.

ordnance_qf_17_pounderFascist USA and Israel are the biggest threats to world peace. They are the axis of evil.
First two months of 2026: The US kidnaps one country’s leader, murders another, and kills hundreds of civilians in two failed regime change attempts.
Death to the burger empire.
GnuLinuxDudeThe scary part is how they succeed in their objectives. I’m still not over Maduro’s kidnapping and how they pulled it off. It’s freakish.
These sorts of attacks is what the US military has been investing in capacity to complete for decades. This is why there has been an investment bleeding edge tech which costs insane amounts of money to develop.
ghost_laptopNo, insane costs are due to how the military industrial complex rules the country and inflates prices because it needs more profits. Costs do not necessarily mean more sophisticated or that have an actual improvement in the battlefield. In fact recent trends show the opposite, the cheaper the tech the better output it produces on the battlefield. It’s low cost vehicles, missiles and drones that are leading the battle, not 20 trillion F-35s.
☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆Although, it’s worth noting that this was largely a stunt. The US did not have the ability to actually invade Venezuela or to topple the government.
It was indeed a stunt, keep in mind that the US spend trillions to maintain an army capable of invading other countries, it’s just not convenient for them to do so.
It’s more than just inconvenience. The US does not have a good track record fighting prolonged conflicts. They can destroy a country and make millions of people suffer, but they rarely achieve long term objectives.
I would argue that their long term objectives are usually achieved, USA pretty much control the whole world.
You’d argue and you’d lose that argument. If you think the Empire controls the world then you’re clearly not seeing or you don’t want to see how it’s collapsing. If they would have accomplished their objectives they wouldn’t have a single opposition force in the world, yet there are plenty. Maybe you think the world is white people only? Because they do have control over all of their colonies and they are all white Westerners.
The day US government will be unable to successfully attack a different country every month i would start to argue that they power is collapsing
Attacking a different country every month isn’t really a sign of strength.
Militarily the US is very powerful, but its actual influence is on the decline.
Attacking a different country every month isn’t really a sign of strength.
They are successfully attacking a different country every month and getting away with it with almost none repercussion. If this is not a sign of strength what else is?
Militarily the US is very powerful, but its actual influence is on the decline.
To me it looks like only the public perception of US government is on the decline, most world government are still aligned with US
If this is not a sign of strength what else is?
Not even needing to attack.
They are attacking few countries they have no control of yet
They didn’t need to do that before, they could just sanction and ignore them. That stopped working.
the US absolutely doesn’t control the world, the war in Ukraine and recent attempt at a trade war with China is a great example of just how weak the empire really is. The US failed to subdue Russia and their attempt to cut Russia out of the global economy resulted in a separate economic system forming with increasing amount of trade happening outside western control. Now, global majority is allied with China against the empire, and hence why we see the US desperately lashing out.
The US has hit an inflection point where the cost of maintaining the empire outstrips the plunder. All the forever wars have drained critical resources, while financial capitalism moved essential production overseas. Now the US finds that it has little economic leverage, and its material base is eroded.
“The dying serpent always bites”. The roman empire went out like this too, overextending itself with a lot of imperialist wars, then devolving into internal strife and instability until it hollowed out and everyone left.
Indeed, it does seem to be a consistent pattern throughout the ages. I imagine a big part of it is that the ruling class becomes increasingly disconnected from material reality, and they start making decisions based on how they think the world works rather than how it actually is.
the US absolutely doesn’t control the world
We are in a thread about US government killing the leader of a country on the other side of the world without any disturbance. No other country can do something like.
You genuinely think that Russia or China does not have the capability to do that? The difference here isn’t that the US is more capable, it’s that it’s a rabid dog.
russia and china don’t have the capability to launch a full scale attack on a country on the other side of the world. US government is able to attack iran because they have control all over the region and in between
Russia and China are nuclear superpowers, they can turn any country into glass. Meanwhile, the US isn’t even able to produce weapons on its own with importing critical things like rare earths from China which the US isn’t capable of producing in any significant quantity. If you think that deindustrialized shithole that’s currently being outproduced by Russia militarily is a global hegemon, then I don’t know what else to tell you.
North korea have nukes too, that doesn’t mean they have the capability to successfully attack any county in the world and kill the leader without any repercussions. It seem like you believe russia and china are better than US empire but that doesn’t automatically make them more powerful, combined the two countries doesn’t spend in war as half of what US does.
Again, if you think the US attacking countries and killing their leaders is a show of strength then you’re deluded. What makes China and Russia more powerful is that they have actual domestic industry, and can produce their own weapons. The US cannot do that. Meanwhile, spending a bunch of money on war just shows how inefficient the US military industrial complex is. Here’s what the reality looks like euronews.com/…/is-russia-producing-a-years-worth-…
The US is just a clown country run by senile pedophiles.
What makes China and Russia more powerful
You sound brainwashed on either russian or chinese state propaganda
The US is just a clown country run by senile pedophiles.
So are most countries
that’s an amazing counterpoint there to the fact that Russia alone is outproducing all of NATO 🤣
How many artillery shell were used to kill Ali Khamenei? You sound like a propagandist arguing that north korea army is the strongest in the world because they outproduce everyone in bayonets.
