*******************
The hour of your freedom is at hand.
The coordinated attacks, named Operation Epic Fury by the Pentagon and Roaring Lion by Israel, hit Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s residence, parliament, National Security Council headquarters, and radar sites. Trump urged Iran’s military to surrender and civilians to overthrow the government amid unconfirmed reports of top officials killed.
Iran fired back with ballistic missiles at Israel, US assets in Bahrain, and sites in UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and Jordan, as Gulf states condemned the aggression and the region braced for escalation.

@WarMonitor3: Iranian air defence appears completely non existent
Eli David is a good account to follow: USS Abraham Lincoln strike group is now attacking Iran’s navy
Fingers crossed: Reports that rescue teams are digging the rubble in Khamenei’s residence. Update: Senior Israel official “Khamenei ‘almost certainly’ eliminated”
Commander of the IRGC has been eliminated.

The regime’s Chief Justice—who executed thousands of protesters by hanging during the Woman Life Freedom uprisings and recent protests—has been eliminated.
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.
Iran disputes reports: “Everything is fine.”
Or not.
Not, if he was here: Damavand headquarters hit with bunker busters.
Iran’s announcement that Khamenei will give a proof of life address “within minutes” expired hours ago.

I`m sure Lindsay Graham uncorked a Champaign bottle.
Bill and Hillary could be the happiest people in the US.
Most people will be focusing on the Iran war, and not their “testimony” lies.
So did John Bolton. Just heard him bemoan Trump and his horrible, terrible, prosecution of this WAR … because he didn’t properly prepare the American people for it [sic]. Oh … he was THRILLED that Iran was being attacked … but just insisting that everything Trump has done is bad. BadOrangeMan’s bad military action. Bolton’s war would have been a better War
Proud of the page and commenters. Great coverage here!
Prayers for the Brave Warriors
I hope Bolton is the next one to be bombed.
Tousi TV is promising live coverage all day. Lots of news reports from Iran, Israel and US. Tousi has videos of the iranians dancing in the streets.
He’s an outstanding reporter. I hit the like button every time I tune in. I’m watching his live feed now.
Absolutely endorse Tousi TV coverage. He was feeding me so much information I had to take a break.

Breaking CBC news! Mark Carney supports President Trump’s attack on Iran to remove nuclear weapons! (Not mentioned in Ceeb’s headline, but read the fine print).
Caution: CBC link above.
Of course he does. For now. Votes are important:

Weird given only a few days they were making other empty noises about diplomacy and so forth. I guess they noticed how many proPalestinians HAMAS supporters have been out marching versus how many supporters of a free Iran are out today.
I’m sure he is waiting for the CCP to tell him what to say.
PDJT and the Crown Prince have called fir the IRGC, regukar army and police to lay down arms now and receive ammunity or face the consequences. Reports of job openings for Justice Minister, Defense Minister and to be Ayatollah’s #2 in-comnand.
Immunity is offered to IRGC, army and police if they lay down weapons.
“Immunity is offered to IRGC, army and police if they lay down weapons.”
Offered by whom?
Both President Trimp and Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi offered immunity to IRGC, army and police if they lay down weapons
‘Immunity’ from the new regime’s persecution, and ‘immunity’ from the hands of your fellow countrymen, eager to crush your skull with a rock for what you’ve done to their sons and daughters during and after the last few protests (or over the last 40 years) are two different animals.. These IRGC thugs and their basij flunkies are no fools, they know what is coming for them.. They also know they have nowhere to run..
This should’ve been done in 1991 shortly after the defeat of Hussein in Iraq. God bless the US troops.
Should have been done in 1979 but then Dhimmi Catah was president. I knew he was a total loser in 1976 because the media and Hollywood was so gah gah over him.
The “Malaise Speech”, the sweaters he used to wear, the goofy smile, the interview with Playboy magazine, just screamed weakness and emboldened our enemies to do whatever the **** they wanted.
I cast my very first presidential vote for Carter, because I believed he was an … honest Christian man … mainly because he told Playboy that he lusted after women other than Rosalyn. How refreshing to have someone confess their sins after Tricky Dick, eh? Carter said his dick wasn’t quite as tricky … he knew right where he wanted to put it. Cool, dude.
Less than 2-years later I learned just how idiotic that vote was. And I’ve regretted it ever since. Carter … evidently … showed his love of Theocratic Islam as an ‘equal’ to Christianity. What a fool I was. Welp … nobody ever said the young were smart-enough to vote … except Nancy Pelosi who wanted to drop the voting age to 16
KenGay, the lite between Islam, KKKristianity, and Judaism, is very slim, they all have a lot of similar ‘rules’.
whaaaaalll, ‘ceppen the moas impordandt whun. the question of choice.
we xians get to CHOOSE to believe and follow that belief (mine is based on science)
or opt for islam ( aka l SLAM) where non believers are slaughtered, enslaved, etc.
kinda big difference there mr/ms/whatever revelation1318
Funny that!
The peaceful peanut.
Greatest FAFO president ever.
This action wasn’t much of a surprise… except for one audacious thing:
In recent history, these attacks typically take place at some Oh-Dark-Thirty time, under cover of darkness and likely even a New-Moon. This was done in broad daylight, and that alone speaks volumes about the confidence Trump had in the capabilities of the forces he had gathered and then committed to action.
Yet Iran has behaved as though their entire defense capabilities weren’t effectively wiped out in June 2025 by Israel and the USA … Baghdad Bob lives on
There is a mention that the attack happened at a time when the leadership was together in a known place. Suggesting that the time of day had less to do with an confidence in our capabilities and more to do with a window of opportunity. Fwiw.
Fwiw … it’s both.
I hope we screwed up an incredible goat buffet.
generally speaking, how often do the locals in an invaded territory WELCOME and thank the invaders?
hmmmm? well its happening in lran right now. and by gawd the lranians had BETTER make the best of thisd opportunity and ‘vett’ and ‘put them thru the wringer’ any of their own who wish to make a grab for high office. Prince Pahlavi is going to make a tremendous respected figurehead, but he has to stay out of their parliament.
Reagan wished he did it. John McCain sang about it. Trump did it.
There are dreamers, and there are doers.
Slow clap.
In Reagan’s time, there was broad support for the Islamic Revolution in Iran. The Shah was generally hated. An American attempt to overthrow the government might well have failed, as the people would not have been behind it. Today there’s broad support to remove the theocratic government in favour of either a secular republic or secular monarchy.
“The Shah was generally hated”
He was hated by the Communists. the Muslim Fanatics, the USSR and Jimmy Carter. Iranian women back them had more rights than just any women in the world.
The Iranian women did have far more rights, but they were so focused on the Shah that they might not have appreciated how much they would deteriorate under an Islamic theocracy. It didn’t help that the Khomeini made vague promises to them during the revolution, which were quickly broken once he came in power.
Whenever a murderous tyranny is removed, it’s reason to be optimistic. I just hope that the US and Israel have a plan to move Iran towards a true secular liberal democracy, and that they share this plan with us shortly. Trump’s handling of Venezuela gets mixed reviews.
Trump’s handling of Venezuela gets mixed reviews.
The only idiots questioning Venezuela are [spit] Progs.
Damned if you regime change, damned if you don’t.
We all know the TDS playbook
How about this Kenji? When the administration makes a regime change, they do it with a coherent plan to deliver a liberal democracy. Don’t just overthrow the regime and hope everything works out, as that can cause a lot of death.
And throwing around the term TDS everytime someone criticizes an action or policy of the Trump administration is lazy. It means you don’t have a rebuttal.
When the administration makes a regime change, they do it with a coherent plan to deliver a liberal democracy.
Please cite all the examples of this ever having been successfully planned and executed. I’ll wait … dum dum de dum dum dum
Germany 1945-1955, including the Marshall Plan
Japan 1945-1952
Granada 1983
Panama 1988
The US went in with plans to establish regime change, democracy, affluency, and allyship with America. And they achieved it. The only thing I see in Venezuela right now is a plan for the US to get hold of as much of its oil as it can.
The Marshall Plan (officially the European Recovery Program, ERP) was an American initiative enacted in 1948 to provide foreign aid to Western Europe. The United States transferred $13.3 billion (equivalent to $137 billion in 2025) in economic recovery programs to Western European economies after the end of World War II in Europe. Replacing an earlier proposal for a Morgenthau Plan, it operated for four years beginning on April 3, 1948, though in 1951, the Marshall Plan was largely replaced by the Mutual Security Act. The goals of the United States were to rebuild war-torn regions, remove trade barriers, modernize industry, improve European prosperity and prevent the spread of communism. The Marshall Plan proposed the reduction of interstate barriers and the economic integration of the European continent while also encouraging an increase in productivity as well as the adoption of modern business procedures.
Yep … all after VE Day 8 May 1945
I won’t go on … you’ve utterly discredited yourself. Thanks for playing
Japan was occupied and administered by the Allies of World War II from the surrender of the Empire of Japan on September 2, 1945, at the war’s end until the Treaty of San Francisco took effect on April 28, 1952. The occupation, led by the American military with support from the British Commonwealth and under the supervision of the Far Eastern Commission, involved a total of nearly one million Allied soldiers. The occupation was overseen by the US General Douglas MacArthur, who was appointed Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers by the US president Harry S. Truman; MacArthur was succeeded as supreme commander by General Matthew Ridgway in 1951. Unlike in the occupations of Germany and Austria, the Soviet Union had little to no influence in Japan, declining to participate because it did not want to place Soviet troops under MacArthur’s direct command.
This foreign presence marks the only time in the history of Japan that it has been occupied by a foreign power. However, unlike in Germany, the Allies never assumed direct control over Japan’s civil administration. In the immediate aftermath of Japan’s military surrender, the country’s government continued to formally operate under the provisions of the Meiji Constitution.
We had no idea that the A-bomb was even gonna work. As it was it took two of them to force a surrender that we had no plans for. One million Allied troops in country. One million boots on Japanese ground. Is that the kind of “plan” you’re expecting Trump to announce?
I propose Canada send their entire woke military to Iran to awaken the Caliphate to Trans children. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
The Marshall Plan was only part of the total plan for Germany. Plans made prior to May 8, 1945 were:
Morgenthau plan
Joint Chiefs of Staff Directive 1067
Numerous plans in the state, war, and treasury department
Not all of the plans came to fruition, and the rest were replaced with better plans as time went on. But the point is the US government did a lot of thinking before Germany surrendered. They had a plan.
But of course you pretend that the Marshall Plan was the sum total of it, thereby utterly discrediting yourself.
The Morganthau “plan” was to END Germany’s war industry. Period. Nothing more. That’s something we do remotely now … as Trump has demonstrated
Right. They had plan to defang Germany, not unreasonable at the time. It was never implemented, but it was widely debated, and it got leaders thinking seriously about what happens once the shooting is done.
As I said at the top of this thread, I hope the Trump administration has some kind of plan for Iran once the bombing is done. What is their ultimate goal for Iran, and how will they achieve it?
Let me give you my guess as to what Trump’s plan might be. Israel/USA clearly had an informant on the inside of the Iranian power structure. That is how we achieved our ‘checkmate’ kill shot in hour one of this military exercise.
I suspect this man … and his associates will form a temporary government in Iran. I will assume they have cohorts in the military and police. I don’t believe this is a plan of destruction only. And I certainly don’t expect Trump to announce his strategy to calm the pearl clutchers.
I suspect the Trump administration is light years ahead of your thinking.
they do it with a coherent plan to deliver
a liberal democracybillions of dollars in graft, for both the local replacement factions, and the war-profiteer contractors tasked with the rebuilding national infrastructure(looking at you Halliburton/KBR and CH2M-Hill, among others ). ftfyNo. Thank. You..The US has a horrible track record as of late ‘exporting democracy™’.. We constantly stubbed our toes on both foreign and domestic corruption and allowed mission creep to sap our resolve and resources. The end result has consistently been, an unwinnable war, due to mission creep and a corrupt, despotic regime left behind that often rivals the horrors of the prior regime we toppled. Enough nation building, let the bombed out nation rebuild themselves, or live in the rubble.. or.. better yet, avoid military conflict with the US in the first place..
It is, anyway, up to the Iranian people now; not the west.
That’s not true. We have yet to see a coherent plan for Venezuela apart from handling its oil, and that is unsettling for a lot of people across the political spectrum. Conservatives include Mike Turner, Thomas Massie, Rand Paul, and Daniel DePetris. Ad hoc measures are good way to get yourself into a quagmire.
Killer unDORK, you and KenGay are 2 heavy weight know nothings, duking it out about schiff that is irrelevant to today’s actions!
Do you do anything except spew insults? Is that your entire raison d’être?
He doesn’t just spew insults. Why, every now and again he farts.
It is unwise to make hard and fast plans when there are so many moving parts. You adjust as you go along.
Fun watching KM spar with his cousin.
Purim in 2026 begins at sundown on Monday, March 2, and ends at nightfall on Tuesday, March 3. Another Haman is dead and has joined the long list of evil doers who called for the destruction of the Jews. Psalm 121:4 states: “Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.”
“Khamenei’s body has been found.”
His beard was here, his nose was across the street, a femur discovered on a rooftop, heart and gonads still missing.
Forget about finding his heart. The evil son-of-a-sow never had one.
Collect what’s left of him, mix it with some corn, then feed it to a herd of wild pigs and share the video across the world. That’s what they should have done with bin laden.
Hats off to Trump, the US forces and Israel: this was 47 years delayed.
mhb23re
You can’t find parts he never had in the first place.
I hope they drop his coffin if he is given a burial. That was so much fun when they dropped the first one.
As the Champ would say, “Hey Iran, is that Death to America enough for ya?”
This should have been done to North Korea decades ago to stop them from getting nukes. But that ship sailed long ago.
Down goes Khomeini, Down goes Maduro.
Certain not to be mentioned by the string-puppets of lying MSM is that in a matter of about 6 weeks Trump has freed 121 million people from the bonds of tyranny.
Psssst … this will NOT become a compromised-Pentagon-military-industrial-complex-standardized-forever-war. Trump is decisive and precise. When we finish breaking the things we target … and killing the bad guys on our hit list … Puhleeze … don’t bother me with your ‘moral equivalency’ … Islam … as practiced by the current death cultists … isn’t ‘equal’ to anything remotely … moral.
… we will leave. This entire operation … IS … absolutely … America First. Just think of all the lives and treasure we will save not having to deal with that rogue Theocratic shitshow … God Bless America and all our troops. Hoo Rah!
PS … if we were still a GREAT Nation … we’d throw a ticker tape welcome home thank you Parade for all our troops in country… in NYC … in that Marxist Muslims FACE
