They’ve got the tiger by the tail now, then. Either the US and Israel pursue this all the way through to full regime change, or when they finally withdraw they’re going to be left with an implacable enemy for generations.
I’m sure Trump thought this all through in thorough detail, though, and has a long-term plan.
Yeah plan is Israel takes whatever land they want, US removes their nuclear capabilities, bleeds them dry of resources/oil, tries to instate some puppet leader and then bounces only to let them fall into another awful dictatorship and the cycle continues.
If you think that Israel will take land from Iran you better double-check where these countries are on the map.
Duh, they can just build a bridge over Jordan and Iraque
You don’t think countries can exist non-contiguously?
Not in this neighborhood, no.
Israel has no reason not to try it with US support. I’m sure they’d love to establish some territory to the east and then squeeze to the middle.
It literally makes zero sense for Israel to claim hostile territory over 2000 kilometers away when the US already has numerous bases in the surrounding countries.
Maybe they’ll just work their way east then starting with Lebanon and Jordan.
Yeah about that, he already “promised” the Islamic republican guard full immunity, you know those guys brutally slaughtering peaceful demonstrators…
Ah, less than a day into the fight and Trump is already frantically looking for a way to TACO.

Very long term. Maybe even Two Weeks™.
I’m sure that last line was sarcasm. 🤣
Well, he has a concept of a plan!
No way
they’re going to be left with an implacable enemy for generations.
They already did this a few generations ago.
My money is on Syria but bigger.
Good. Although I’m afraid not very efficient in the grand scale. Their whole system won’t probably collapse because of the death of a single scumbag, however important he might have seemed.
There do remain the fanatics, and they’re not going to change their ways, they’ll just pick a successor after running Iran by committee.
Way to make a martyr.
I don’t think an unpopular regime leader that oppressed the people for 37 years will become a martyr for very many people.
He probably will be a. Martyr for all the people that were fighting the protestors to keep him in power.

Such a good role model.
Thanks Trump! Best president ever!
You smell bad
Block the troll and move on.
Barf
But he could not be dead. Either way, he’s gone.

Y’all are eulogizing Khamenei over on lemmy.ml?
Lemmy.world pretending to be against war but then celebrating it is so on-brand.
You can be against the US and it’s allies starting another war in the middle east plunging us into another multi decade quagmire AND you can be happy that that Islamist despot khomenini got the roof caved in on his ugly head
They’re not mutually exclusive
“You can be against war but also for the things that happen because of war”
Correct, for some things.
Like Khomeini being buried alive for example.
The world is a better place for it.
I hope he was scared
You are sure happy the only party opposing genocide was killed.
I’m happy the guy who ordered the killing of tens of thousands of protesters, was himself killed, yes.
His stance on Genocide does not factor into my assessment of him
Hitler was a vegetarian who loved dogs… was still a cunt
I’m anti-war, but I’m not going to lose sleep at night over a tyrannical leader getting bombed.
What about the school children?
Thanks mods for blocking lm, i fear what is written on those comments
Top-level comment was framing him as a feminist and had what I assume was a screengrab from his social media picturing an “inspirational” photo of a wheat field at sunrise with a muslim supplication about being sinful and repentant and asking god not to turn his face away like he rightfully does from his other servants.
Tankies hate religion except for when it’s an anti-western theocratic dictator’s religion.
Maybe a concept of a plan.
