Only a complete idiot like the orange pedo in the White House would believe that a autocratic regime that has been in power for decades and has also been engaged in a "cold war" with many of its neighboring countries for decades would fall immediately because its 86-year-old leader was killed.

But hey, it speaks volumes how the US is acting together with its genocidal allies: Congratulations on the murder of an aging despot in violation of international law, and my expression of utter contempt for the murder of the many innocent little girls that these two criminal states committed as if it were not the most despicable war crime.

Fuck off with your self-righteous remarks, you goddamn monsters. Nobody except your Nazi henchmen wants to hear that.

This war did not start yesterday

No and if British petrol hasn't been such greedy bastards Iran wouldn't have spiralled into theocracy:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat

In 1953, the CIA- and MI6-backed 1953 Iranian coup d'état overthrew Iran's Prime Minister, Mohammad Mossadegh, who had nationalized the Anglo-Persian Oil Company.[5][6][7] The coup reinstated Mohammad Reza Pahlavi as an absolute monarch and significantly increased United States influence over Iran.[8]

So they helped end democratic rule and put a despot in place that was corrupt in their favor. The son of whom they are trying to get back into power now

This corruption caused this:

A theocratic despot who somehow hated the us and UK.

This all could've been helped by letting the democracy be and paying a fair share for the oil extracted from the country, but that was somehow a bridge too far.

This war started 47 years ago, the minute that the imperial core’s puppet regime was overthrown.

He died doing what he loved

[–] voodooattack@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

He died a martyr to his supporters, which now have an unquestionable Casus belli and a license to prosecute and murder any current dissenters for treason.

Peculiar timing on behalf of the US. Hmm.

There's a lesson in here for preppers.

Is the lesson not to get hit by a missile?

Peak American education is thinking he died on the first day. He has survived MANY assassination attempts which cost him his hand and other permanent injuries. He was 86 years old and have out smarted and outlived many American presidents who wanted him dead. Brain dead meme

Yeah, Khamenei never planned for or publicly spoke about his own death in this conflict. This guy on the funny Epstein Hitler website is freaking based. 😆
