Israel + US joint STRIKE against IRAN to cause Regime Change

War with Iran has started.

Hopefully short and hopefully leading to an overthrow of the Iranian regime, which hopefully will actually happen on the ground by internal revolution and without the need for any ground troops from Israel or the USA.





The home of IRAN's Supreme leader has been targeted and destroyed.


For the record, the war with Iran has been going on for 40 years. The events of this morning was the start of the final battle.
We have lost innocent lives to them.
We have pleaded with them.
We have bribed them
Enough already.

Thank the Lord we have a real leader in the White House who knows how to bargain, negotiate, and if that fails, still get things done.
 
I don't know why but my edits to post #33 did not print.


The Iranian leadership reminds me of the Barbary coast Muslims that demanded "Tribute" to all sailing ships that past in their waters.
Our young navy, sent by President Jefferson, refused to pay and kicked their ass. A total surprise to them and President Jefferson.

No planeloads of cash to quite Iran's guns. No peace is ever made that way
Instead, we have sent planes and ships full of ordinance.
Finality, Sweet finality. A
And maybe a path to peace.
The Middle East could use some.
 
It is the soldier, not the minister who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the soldier, not the reporter who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer who has given us freedom to protest.
It is the soldier, not the lawyer who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the soldier, not the politician who has given us the right to vote.
It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their own free choice - is often the means of their regeneration.

Breaking- Britain, France and Germany released a joint statement declaring a willingness to join with the US in the fight against Iran.

The statement by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said:

“We will take steps to defend our interests and those of our allies in the region, potentially through enabling necessary and proportionate defensive action to destroy Iran’s capability to fire missiles and drones at their source. We have agreed to work together with the US and allies in the region on this matter.”

Too little, too late. Friggin pussies only want in after the conflict has been decided. I'd really like to be polite but FUCK THE EU.

Well said sir!

The imperfect human condition both creates and requires this very need.
 
Syria is reinforcing its border with Lebanon to keep the Hezbollah terrorists, loyal to Iran, inside Lebanon. Israel launched ground and air operation against Hezbollah in Lebanon to try to stop the influx of missiles fired by the Hezbollah group from inside the Lebanese borders.

Syria sends thousands of troops to Lebanon border, sources say

Syria has reinforced its border with Lebanon with rocket units and thousands of troops, eight Syrian and Lebanese sources say, as conflict spreads in the region, including between Israel and the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon.
The sources include five Syrian military officers, a Syrian security official and two Lebanese security officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The Syrian officers say the Syrian reinforcement operation began in February but sped up in recent days. The Syrian and Lebanese armed forces do not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The Syrian officers, including a senior member of the military, say the move is aimed at preventing arms and drugs smuggling as well as blocking Hezbollah or other terrorists from infiltrating Syria.
A Syrian officer tells Reuters that military formations from several Syrian army divisions have expanded their presence along the border in the western Homs countryside and south of Tartus.
The reinforcements include infantry units, armored vehicles and short-range Grad and Katyusha rocket launchers, the official says.
The Syrian security official says Damascus has no plans for military action against any neighboring country.
“But Syria is prepared to deal with any security threat to itself or its partners,” he says.

Gonna have to go check Polymarkets to see how long he has left to live.

Wonder what kind of hazard pay comes with that job? 🤔
Doesn't matter. He won't be able to cash his paycheck.


Religion has likely caused the misery and death of more innocents than any other motivation including greed.
Our President is bent on the complete elimination of a religious leadership in Iran.
Most of the leadership in the free world, hopefully our allies, feel the same.
The office of Aitolia Supreme leader is currently abolished.
 
Wonder what kind of hazard pay comes with that job? 🤔

I dunno.

But if you show up for the meeting then the bombs will kill you. If you miss attending the meeting then you get elected to the position, where you will be hunted down and the bombs will kill you.

Damned if you. Damned if you don't.




For whatever it is worth, the Iranians CLAIMED, according to the US negotiations team, to have enough nuclear materials to create 11 nuclear bombs.

John Solomon's JUST THE NEWS Foundation does great investigative reporting:

Witkoff says Iran negotiators started talks by claiming to have materials to make 11 nuclear bombs

"They were proud that they had evaded all sorts of oversight protocols to get to a place where they could deliver 11 nuclear bombs," Steve Witkoff said

U.S. special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff said that Iranian negotiators started talks by claiming to have materials to make 11 nuclear bombs.
Witkoff told Fox News on Monday that 60% enriched uranium can be brought to 90%, which is weapons-grade, in about 7-10 days, and 20% enriched uranium can be made into weapons-grade in 3-4 weeks.
“In that first meeting, both the Iranian negotiators said to us, directly, with, you know, no shame, that they controlled 460 kilograms of 60%, and they're aware that that could make 11 nuclear bombs, and that was the beginning of their negotiating stance. So they were proud of it — they were proud that they had evaded all sorts of oversight protocols to get to a place where they could deliver 11 nuclear bombs,” Witkoff said.
Witkoff and President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, participated in three rounds of indirect talks with Iran last month, prior to U.S. military action against Iran, the New York Post reported.
“Jared and I opened up with the Iranian negotiators telling us they had the inalienable right to enrich all their nuclear fuel that they possessed. That’s how they opened up,” Witkoff said. “We, of course, responded that the president feels we have the inalienable right to stop you dead in your tracks.”
“I know this: They have 10,000, roughly, kilograms of fissionable material. That’s broken up into roughly 460 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium, another 1,000 kilograms of 20% enriched uranium … They manufacture their own centrifuges to enrich this material. So, there’s almost no stopping them. They have an endless supply of it,” he added.
Witkoff also said that he and Kushner offered to provide nuclear fuel to Iran for the next decade on the condition that it was not used for any weapons program.
“They rejected that, which told us at that very moment that they had no notion of doing anything other than retaining enrichment for the purpose of weaponizing,” he said.
“And we went in there and tried to make a fair deal with them, and it was very, very clear that it was going to be impossible, probably by the end of the second meeting. But we then went back for the third meeting, just to give it the last college try,” Witkoff added. “And of course, they wanted us to report positivity — it was not positive, that meeting.”

This is a pretty good summary of the latest headlines, all seem to be accurate in terms of reports.

It should be noted that what Iran claims, which is also reported, may be inaccurate in fact, while the claim is reported. So if Iran claims it, and the claim is reported, the basis of fact behind the claim may be wrong. Remember the claim of the girls school being targeted and then hit with a missile by US or Israel. There is ZERO verified 3rd party evidence that is true. Both US and Israel deny they targeted the school. The school is near a base. The base had launchers. So it is possible the Iranians MISFIRED a missile that hit the school. It is also possible the school was hit by a bomb/missile from either US or Israel. But again, absolutely nothing verified.

Iran has SHUT DOWN internet access to Iranian citizens and it has been shut down for 120 hours and counting. This may be part of the reason why we see no massive protests forming. Perhaps we should air-drop in a million or so STARLINK satellite dishes to Iran?



FOX NEWS reported that IRAQI Kurds crossed the border from Iraq to Iran. That is apparently FALSE news. The Kurds have taken up offensive action in the N.W. corner of Iran, but they are Iranian Kurds.

Reports of Iran attacking Turkey are also overblown. There is a US/NATO base in Turkey with nuclear weapons. An attack on that base, which is where the missile was apparently headed before it was intercepted, would not be an Article 5 mutual defense trigger, to get NATO into action as an attack on sovereign Turkey.

SPAIN is looking to possible drop out of NATO. SPAIN is openly in revolt against the US actions and recently elected full blown socialists to run their government. I expect massive trade sanctions from the US against Spain within the next 48 hours.


Here are some of the most critical developments unfolding in the US-Iran conflict: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopoliti...comms-infrastructure-takes-severe-hits-tehran

  • A "large explosion" took place on a tanker 30 nautical miles south east off Mubarak Al Kebeer, on the coast of Kuwait. The tanker, which was at anchor in the Khor al-Zubair lightering zone - a critical area for loading Iraqi heavy fuel oil exports - began taking on water following the blast, and is leaking oil into the Gulf, which could have a disastrous environmental impact.
  • Iraqi Kurdistan govt statement: Not a single Iraqi Kurd has crossed the border. This is patently false.
  • The U.S. Senate rejected a War Powers resolution that sought to force President Trump to end or seek congressional approval for military strikes on Iran, allowing the administration to continue operations without the restriction: CBS
  • Iran says it hit US warship with missiles 600km away in Northern Indian Ocean using Ghadr 380 Talayieh missiles (1000+ range, can change course mid-flight)
  • The Marsh Mclennan unit marsh risk met with the trump administration to discuss creating a government-backed insurance mechanism to help ships resume transit through the Strait of Hormuz, as threats from Iran have driven up energy prices and disrupted oil flows: WSJ
  • Reports: the Houthis in Yemen are planning to attack vital targets inside Saudi Arabia using drones, as they have done in the past, and therefore, according to those sources, security around the king, Salman, and the Saudi crown prince, bin Salman, has been increased.
  • Kurdish Forces in Iraq have launched a ground military offensive into Iran against Iranian govt: i24News (unconfirmed). Iran state media & various Kurdish sources deny reports.
  • Netanyahu asked the White House if the Trump administration was secretly talking with Iran about a ceasefire after Israeli intelligence suspected possible communications. The White House denied any talks and said the U.S. had ignored messages sent by Iran through regional intermediaries: Axios
  • Iran will target Israeli embassies if its embassy is hit: IRNA
  • Iranian intelligence sends word to US on potential talks to end war, but US officials say no active negotiations: CNN reports
  • Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian says no choice but to fight: Dear esteemed leaders of our friendly and neighboring countries, we have strived, with your assistance and through diplomacy, to avoid war. However, the American-Zionist military attack has left us with no choice but to defend ourselves.
  • Iran begins shift toward governing for a prolonged war:FARS/BBG
  • Turkey says a ballistic ⁠missile fired Iran was destroyed by NATO systems in the ‌eastern Mediterranean Sea. Hegseth dismisses Article 5 concerns.
  • Allegations that the ballistic missile was launched "at Incirlik Air Base" - which hosts NATO nukes.
  • US Secretary of State Rubio says well on their way to achieving Iran mission objectives. Did the US just blink here?
  • Putin notes that oil and gas prices are rising related to Mideast crisis.
  • Airline Troubles in Region Compound as Flight Cancellations Surpass 20,000
  • Hegseth floats new timeline up to eight weeks while saying as long as it takes
  • If US and Israel pursue a ‘regime change’ scenario in practice, final effective missiles will target Dimona nuclear reactor and all regional energy infrastructure, via Iran Nuances citing a Senior Iranian military official
  • Senior Iranian Cleric Javadi Amoli: shedding the blood of Israelis and Trump is what is required of devout Shi'ite Muslims", state media
  • Western officials claim Iran could be 'days' from exhausting ballistic missile supply, but Pentagon also concerned about own stockpiles
  • Israel and Hezbollah are now in a ground war in southern Lebanon.
 
In Lebanon, to the north of Israel, the terror group Hezbollah has been operating inside Lebanon openly. They have infiltrated the Lebanese military and have been elected to some political offices in Lebanon.
It should be noted that Lebanon is historically a CHRISTIAN nation and still has a large Christian minority.

Lebanon is now looking to arrest Iranian Revolutionary Guard members and deport them.

On March 5, 2026, the Lebanese government announced a ban on all activities by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) within Lebanese territory and stated its intention to detain and deport IRGC members. This decision was communicated by Information Minister Paul Morcos, who indicated that the cabinet had decided to prevent any operations that members of the Iran Guards might carry out from Lebanon.

In August 2025, a senior Iranian official visited Lebanon amidst pressure from the U.S. for the Lebanese government to disarm Hezbollah. Iran supports Hezbollah and opposes its disarmament.


Lebanese government's stance against IRGC and Hezbollah

  • The Lebanese cabinet has decided to ban all activities of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps in Lebanon and to detain and deport its members.
  • The Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) have been conducting arrest campaigns targeting non-state actors, including members of Hezbollah, for illegal weapons possession.
  • Lebanese broadcaster LBCI reported that the Lebanese army arrested 12 armed Hezbollah members at a checkpoint.
  • Iran's perspective on regional influence and proxies
    • Iran views Lebanon as a proxy state, and officers of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps have worked with Hamas and Hezbollah, refining operations in Beirut.
    • Iran has invested significant time and money in building up Hezbollah, which it sees as a powerful ally in its "axis of resistance."
    • A senior Iranian official accused the U.S. of dictating to Lebanon regarding the disarmament of Hezbollah.
 
Trump demands UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER and nothing less than that.


 
This is interesting if true.


For the most part, attacks have been on IRGC military targets, but from what I can see, they are now going after the POLICE STATIONS and minor military locations inland. Much of the police station targeting is starting in the west of the country where the KURDISH factions live. Many Kurds are armed and are enemies of the regime. So eliminating the opposing local/regional police stations will help the Kurds if/when there is a popular uprising in the streets.
