In conjunction with Israel.
Why? Starting wars has never ever ended well for the US, or for the country they are trying to 'help.'

Very strong signals coming through now that Khamenei is indeed dead.

Yes, Reuters reports his body has been found.

Unlikely to have been by Israel though - it was right next to a missile depot:

Feb 28 (Reuters) - Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who turned the country into a powerful anti-U.S. force and extended its military influence across the Middle East while crushing repeated domestic unrest, was killed in Israeli and U.S. strikes, a senior Israeli official told Reuters on Saturday.
There was no immediate Iranian confirmation of his fate.

And breathe the evil man has gone

TheFilliesWillRiseAgain · 28/02/2026 20:25

The Ayatollah is dead - it's now being confirmed.

Odd - Iran were saying he was alive a few hours ago. I can't believe they lied. What else could they have lied about..

AlwaysRightISwear · 28/02/2026 20:30

It doesn't end things though. The rest of the regime is mostly still there and probably hankering for revenge.

BeanQuisine · 28/02/2026 20:33

One of those wars where I'd be happy to hear that all the nations' leaders have been killed - Iran's, Israel's and USA's.

Oh I just love this

Iran were saying

‘As far as I know / we’re aware….’

Lets keep to the facts all this twisting doesn’t help for a reasonable debate

Now
Israel have found the body
( maybe Israel can pop over to the school and check up on that too.)

Yes didn’t they say he was “safe and sound” or something similar at the exact time others reports were coming out that he had been killed.

AtomicBlondeRose · 28/02/2026 20:50

Another massive wave hitting Qatar right now

BerthaPotts · 28/02/2026 20:50

There does seem to be growing news that he is indeed dead. I'm sure there will be confirmation soon enough.
The question is, what next?

BerthaPotts · 28/02/2026 20:52

AtomicBlondeRose · 28/02/2026 20:50

So are these strikes all on US air bases in Qatar? How many do they have there? They have been pummeling them all day.

BerthaPotts · 28/02/2026 20:52

I do feel sorry for all the innocent civilians caught up in this. Must be terrifying living in any of those countries right now.

Twiglets1 · 28/02/2026 20:53

"safe and sound" is one way of describing being dead I suppose.

AtomicBlondeRose · 28/02/2026 20:55

There’s one air base in Qatar but they haven’t hit it at all as every missile has been intercepted

What about the parents screaming because their children were gunned down by their own government, simply for protesting?

Don't bring innocents into it..... better to concentrate on hating the West.....🤔 some of these anti western posters are very predictable aren't they.

Dubai been hit again? Dubai airport?

Yes and the Burj Al Arab.

BerthaPotts · 28/02/2026 22:24

But why? Why are they repeatedly hitting Dubai?

"It didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn't us,
Ok we did it and it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was bad, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not our fault.
And if it was, We didn’t mean it.
And if we did, you made us do it"

Ah, I see you have realised what the Iranian regime have said about the slaughter of thousands of their own people.... at last

According to flightradar there were aircraft ground vehicles on the ground
ie the ones that deal with emergencies

This suggests an issue

War mongers, and doesn't even have congressional approval.

Trump has to go. Roll on the mid terms
