A little later, Stacy McCain, ‘Major Combat Operations’ in Iran UPDATE: Is the Ayatollah Dead, or Not? UPDATE: He’s ‘Pining for the Fjords’. PJM's Matt Margolis, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is Dead. Amit Segal @AmitSegal, "Senior officials in Israel were informed: Khamenei has been eliminated. His body was recovered from the ruins of his palace." At Hat Hair Capt Ed hears from Netanyahu: 'Many Signs' We Got Khamenei; UPDATE: Body Found? UPDATE: Trump, Bibi Shown Photo, NEW: Israeli Intel Indicates Khamenei Hit, IRGC Commander Killed; UPDATE: Three Hits On Meetings and Iranian Regime Media Admits Khamenei Is Dead. Matt Vespa at TownHall, We Got Him: Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Has Been Taken Out. RedStates Jen Van Laar, BREAKING: Iran's Ayatollah Khameini Confirmed Dead. Middle Eastern Eye, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei killed in US-Israeli strikes. "A key figure in Iran’s Islamic revolution, Khamenei was killed along with his daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter." At Althouse, "Ayatollah is dead, Israel says/Body of Ali Khamenei has been found amid US-Israeli bombing, according to officials." "The London Times reports." Ace catches up (in all cap bold red italic font) to REPORTS: THE AYATOLLAH HAS BEEN KILLED, "Also killed, reportedly: The head of Iran's "Justice" Department, responsible for the mass killing of protesters the Ayatollah's number two The commander of the Revolutionary Guards." Amit Segal @AmitSegal, "An American official to Fox News: It is estimated that along with Khamenei, another 5–10 senior Iranian leaders were killed." Shanaka Anslem Perera @shanaka86. "They did not bomb Iran. They waited for Iran’s entire leadership to sit down in the same room and then they bombed Iran. Months of intelligence. Thousands of hours of surveillance and signal intercepts. One variable: the moment the Supreme Leader, the President, and senior military command gathered in a single location at the same time. That moment was 8:15 this morning. Daylight. Every previous Israeli strike on Iran came at night. June 2025 launched in darkness. October 2024 after midnight. Iran’s entire air defense doctrine is built around the assumption that Israel attacks in the dark. Israel attacked in broad daylight because the target was not infrastructure. The target was a meeting. . . " Fatherguy Everyman @thecathguy, "Dawg we parked the entire armada in your front yard how was this a surprise" Quote Leading Report @LeadingReport, "BREAKING: Iran was reportedly caught massively off-guard with US-Israeli strikes, per Fox News."
David Khait @David_Khait, "Turns out it wasn’t Israel as Al Jazeera reported. It wasn’t US as Iran reported. It was a failed launch by the IRGC that fell back to the ground and struck the elementary school. The elementary school is attached to an IRGC naval base." Quote Chaya’s Clan @ChayasClan, "A failed missile launch in Iran caused the projectile to fall on a school. Images captured the moment it failed, fell back to ground, and struck. The Iranians - just like the Palestinians in Gaza at the beginning of the war - immediately claimed it was a missile fired by the United States or Israel."

President Trump: To the great proud people of Iran, I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand. Stay sheltered. Don't leave your home. It's very dangerous outside. Bombs will be dropping everywhere. When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will probably be your only chance for generations. For many years, you have asked for America's help, but you never got it. No president was willing to do what I am willing to do tonight. Now you have a president who is giving you what you want, so let's see how you respond. America is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force. Now is the time to seize control of your destiny and to unleash the prosperous and glorious future that is close within your reach. This is the moment for action. Do not let it pass. May God bless you all." Insty at substack,

It massacred thousands of protesters this year. It imprisons and executes political dissidents. It oppresses women, L.G.B.T.Q. people and religious minorities. Its leaders have impoverished their own citizens while corruptly enriching themselves. They have proclaimed 'Death to America' since coming to power and killed hundreds of U.S. service members in the region, as well as bankrolled terrorism that has killed civilians in the Middle East and as far away as Argentina..." says NYT,

The Drunk Republican @DrunkRepub, "
How exhausting it must be to be a liberal today. For decades they were defined by standing up to authoritarianism and championing the oppressed. But now, in the face of one of the greatest liberations in modern history, they can’t allow themselves to celebrate because they spent the last decade consuming buffets of bullshit about the guy who just made it happen. They know it’s a good thing, and they know we know they know; it must be pure agony. I would love nothing more than for them to join us in being happy today, if only just this once.
