We have heard that the B3 Spirit bombers are also now on the way to Iran.
In the previous post, we talked about the responsibility of the people to now take back power for themselves. The following Tweet is a perfect example of exactly what I meant.

Just wondering, if Trump knows, what he got himself into.
Nobody else is alarmed?
Yes. I am alarmed.
This ideology remains undefeated in territory it has claimed.
Unlike the Nazi empire’s demise, there have been no known assassination attempts from within its own ranks.
Israel ‘s 10M people are the size in population of a metropolis and the US appears weak and uncalculating as its ultimatums disintegrate.
I don’t see the Iranian diaspora volunteering to pilot missions or parachute behind enemy lines.

to understsnd what it took to stop expansion, let alone topple a regime.
Those Americans who funded and capitulated to the IRI oddly agreed with its ideology that the only Jew in government (in the Middle East) should be the token member of the Iranian parliament. The aspirations of these former presidents could still be shared among their acolytes.
It’s unwise to rely on miracles. Israel was successfully able to disrupt centrifuge technology. Perhaps the bargain in this was to free Iran. We have no idea if the decisions are a calculated risk or a fool’s journey.
HUSSEIN ABOUBAKR MANSOUR:
The Islamic Republic of Iran was not merely another ideological state. It was, and I think many of our Ivy League leftist professors would agree, the most ambitious political-theological experiment of the twentieth century – the only successful revolutionary project to fuse modern state power and modern German ideology with premodern clerical authority and sustain it across nearly five decades.
It outlived the Soviet Union, which fell twelve years after the revolution. It outlived Ba’athist Iraq, which Saddam took to war against it for eight years and which the Americans dismantled in 2003. It outlived Qaddafi’s Libya, Mubarak’s Egypt, and Assad’s Syria – the last of which fell in 2024, taking with it Iran’s most important Arab client state and the land corridor that connected Tehran to Hezbollah.
It survived invasions, wars, sanctions, cyberwarfare, targeted assassinations, internal uprisings, and a twelve-day combined Israeli-American air campaign just eight months ago.
It survived because Khamenei understood that revolutionary legitimacy is sustained only by the credible monopoly on organized terror and the systematic, violent elimination of alternatives. It was also the last successor state in the ideological lineage that descended from Nazi Germany through Arab Nationalism – the final regime to make the global propagation of antisemitism and the annihilation of Jews a matter of state doctrine.
And then there is the date.
Purim begins Monday evening. The festival that commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people from Haman’s plot to annihilate them – a story set, as it happens, in Persia. In Shushan, in the land that became Iran.
The Book of Esther is the only book of the Hebrew Bible in which God’s name does not appear, and the rabbinical tradition has always understood this as the point: that divine action in history is sometimes most present precisely where it is most hidden, working through the decisions of men and women who do not fully understand what they are enacting.
Khamenei, who fashioned himself the heir to an Islamic revolution against the enemies of God, was killed by the Jewish state on the eve of the Jewish festival that celebrates the destruction of a Persian enemy who sought to destroy the Jews. He would have appreciated the irony, perhaps. I certainly do.

Soon, may his régime bite the dust.
I believe that it will.
Decades of “diplomacy” and in the end, what solves the problem?
The old way: aircraft carriers and TNT.
And then…
Boots.
