The Islamic Republic of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei has declared that Iran “isn’t a nation that surrenders”:
Those who know the Iranian people and their history know that the Iranian nation isn’t a nation that surrenders.
— Khamenei.ir (@khamenei_ir) June 23, 2025
Those very words from Khamenei are reflected in the regime’s move to survive, as it now seeks likely candidates to succeed Khamenei. “Iranian officials consider removing Ali Khamenei in plot to replace supreme leader – report,” Jerusalem Post, June 22, 2025:
Iranian officials are considering removing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as the Supreme Leader of Iran after the country endured airstrikes by Israel and the United States, two sources involved in the discussions told The Atlantic in a report published on Sunday.
The plot to replace the supreme leader is being planned by a group of businessmen, military and political figures, and relatives and high-ranking clerics, the report said.
“Ours is just one idea,” a source told The Atlantic. “Tehran is now full of such plots. They are also talking to Europeans about the future of Iran. Everybody knows Khamenei’s days are numbered. Even if he stays in office, he won’t have actual power.”…
Discussion about Khamenei’s ill health, ability to rule and whom his successor would be were happening well before the recent escalation, pointing to a likely longstanding determination by the regime to install a successor. A few days ago, The Atlantic reported about an inside plot to remove Khamenei as the Supreme Leader after the debilitating airstrikes by Israel and the US. The plotters, comprised of businessmen, military and political figures, and high-ranking clerics “agreed that a leadership committee consisting of a few high-ranking officials would take over running the country and negotiate a deal with the United States to stop the Israeli attacks.” Of course Iran must never be trusted to make any lasting deal; it only manipulates to buy time.
As a regime now plunged into chaos, the specter of the 1979 Revolution is revisiting Iran. On one side is Iran’s Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, who says that a transition plan is in place if Khamenei falls; and on the other side are the mullahs and their loyalists seeking to rescue the Shia regime from falling.
At the top of the list are the offspring of the two supreme leaders: Ayatollah Khamenei’s 56-year-old son Mojtaba Khamenei, and Hassan Khomeini, the 53-year-old grandson of the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the architect of the Islamic revolution in Iran.
Meanwhile, in the latest development, speaker of Iran’s Parliament (Majlis) Mohammad Qalibaf, along with other Majlis members, announced–amid cheers of “Death to America”–a new Bill a bill to suspend regime cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency and install a new policy of “nuclear ambiguity”. This announcement coincides with a military campaign and an intensified security crackdown on dissidents with mass arrests and executions.
Israel has made it clear that the aim of the strikes was not regime change, but to eliminate Iran’s nuclear threat. As it stands, regime change is likely, but in what direction is a mystery. While dissidents are fighting inside and outside of Iran in hopes of Pahlavi’s rise in a new dawn for Iran, the Islamic Republic of Iran is fierely fighting back, using all powers at its disposal, to rescue dreams of a globally dominant Shia state.
The assumptions are the AYATOLLAH,ruler of Iran,believes the following,but do events prove it?
1.He has a plan to kill all the 7 million Jews of Israel,that is what is meant by ”Death to Israel”.
Jesus in Luke said,”“If anyone comes to me and does not HATE
father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters
—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.”
”Death to Israel”=death of 7 million Jews, ”Hate family”,to be taken literally?
And Jesus said,”If your HAND causes you to sin, CUT IT OFF It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to [b]hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched…….. if your FOOT causes you to sin, CUT IT OFF. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell, [e]into the fire that shall never be quenched”
Literal meaning,like Death to Israel,Death to America? Or an Eastern custom of being expressive,like it was part of Jesus’ culture?
2.The Ayatollah has HAMAS and HEZBULLAH and the HOUTHIS as literal PUPPETS, they obey him like slaves.
On Oct 7,2023 the Ayatollah ordered Hamas to attack,killing 1,200.
Part of the plan to kill 7 million,part of Death to Israel. Hamas are puppets of the Ayatollah.
Killing 1,200 by Hamas was an EXISTENCIAL threat to Israel.
Iran and Hezbullah together have tens and tens of thousands of MISSILES. Why didn’t the Ayatollah ordered the SIMULTANEOUS launching of 10,000, 20,000 missiles on the Jewish areas of Israel on Oct 7?
Yes, it most definitely was an existential threat to Israel. It was also such a threat to neighboring nations and actually all other nations based on the logic the radical “religious” leaders (really, actually politicians) demand.
In the end, Iran revealed itself to be a psychotic, murderous misfit, an empty vessel when faced with an actual warrior that took them out in minutes.
My answer is one has to use the method intelligence analysts do:
1. Is there an INTENTION to do X?
2. If there is, can the person,group,like the Ayatollah do it, does he have the MEANS and CAPABILITY?
You say the Ayatollah wants to kill the 7 million Jews of Israel.
Or hundreds of thousands at least. On Oct 7,did he have the MEANS via Iran’s tens of thousands of missiles and Hezbollah’s tens of thousands of missiles?The answer is yes. Since he didn’t do it,then by logic, the intention assumption is false.
The intention assumption is ”Death to Israel” means the literal death of the 7 million Jews in Israel.
Jesus had the same habit of using HYPERBOLE when he said in Matthew 10:
”“Do NOT think that I have come to bring PEACE to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a SWORD.
For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household.”
In Luke 12 he says,”
“I came to CAST FIRE on the earth, and how I WISH it were already BURNING.”
In Matthew 15:26, Jesus responds to a Canaanite,NON-Jewish woman who asks him to heal her daughter, saying, “It is NOT RIGHT to take the children’s bread and toss it to the DOGS.”
Dogs here are the non-Jews.
Blah Blah Blah. What an idiot you are. I’m not surprised that war between Iran, Israel and the U.S. brings out the true crazies on this site.
You lost this one. May you continue to lose
The whole point of having a proxy like Hamas fight your battles for you is that they, rather than you, get the stick for it. That is why Khamenei did not fire on Israel from Iran.
For those who don’t know it,Iran ( population 90 million) ALREADY has a NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
that does 2 things:produce electricity and desalination.Opened in 2010.
It is near the port city of BUSHR (metropolitan population 400,000).Electricity for Bushr and operates adesalination plant: that takes in SALT WATER and changes it to POTABLE water for the people of Bushr.
But Trump wants NO nuclear power plants at all,nothing or else he will bomb Iran.
How much electricity does it general? 1.7% of that used in the country.
How many does the US have?Population:330 million.
United States has 54 nuclear power plants in 28 states.
How many does the RUSSIA have?Population: 145 million.
It has 11. So Iran should have 6,7,8 nuclear power plants.It only has ONE,that of Bushr.
Russia and the US have LOTS of gas and it can be used to generate electricity.Why not eliminate their nuclear power plants?They can use gas.Stupid question.One day the gas will be GONE.Iran has LOTS of gas. But they want nuclear power plants because in the future the gas will be GONE.
The Ayatollah has been ruling for 35 years.Iran is a THEOCRACY,like Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan.
You can ask any Iranian and he will tell you that in ALL Iranian cities many women today do NOT cover their hair since 2022,they are NO longer reprimanded,fined,arrested.
There are VIDEOS on youtube showing girls and women walking on the streets not wearing the hijab.
He is NOT a fanatic like the first Ayatollah,Khomeini.
65% of the 90 million Iranians are under the age of 35,and studies show some 65-70% are EX-Muslims.
And only 20-25% of the 90 million are PRO-theocracy.
1. But it is a LIGHT theocracy, where legally speaking,like in Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan you would be EXECUTED for: apostasy, fornication, homosexuality, blasphemy and adultery. But unlike Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan it has been years and years that those laws are NOT practiced.
2. 75% of Iranians live in poverty,due to the economic sanctions and secondary economic sanctions of Trump in 2018. Trump had also imposed sanctions on VENEZUELA and SYRIA. More on that later.It is a lie that the sanctions are NOT meant to destroy ordinary citizens.They are.
3. The BIGGEST complaint of the 75%-80% of Iranians who are ANTI-theocracy WAS,I repeat was, the MORALITY POLICE created in 2005.
In 2022 there were mass protests for 3 months against the theocracy and the morality police.Due to it,de facto,the morality police disappeared.Almost always the Morality Police ( women and male agents) dedicated itself to:
giving warnings to women who did not 100% cover their hair,
or fining them, or detaining them in jail for a short time.Like tens of thousands of detentions. That no longer exists. While in Saudi Arabia EVERY week people are EXECUTED for blasphemy,fornication,adultery,homosexuality,etc.
Also BEFORE 2022 women and men had to be SEPARATED in buses and the metro.Legally it still is the case but de facto, it is a dead law. During RAMADAN,people publicly eat food,nobody is arrested.That was before,when there was a Morality Police.
Finally there is the Shia doctrine of TAQIKA or dissimulation,which is in the Quran. To lie.
1. In 2003 the Ayatollah issued a FATWA prohibiting Iran from creating nuclear weapons.It is in his official website.
Is it taqiya to secretly make nuclear missiles to kill 7 million Jews,the real meaning of ”Death to Israel”?
2. Striking Israel with several nuclear bombs would release RADIOACTIVITY that would also kill MILLIONS of who?
Besides Jews millions of PALESTINIANS ( 2 million are in Gaza ,3 million in the West Bank, 2 million in Israel,and 60% of the population of Jordan is Palestinian).
3.Proof the Ayatollah does care about the Palestinians is that of the 550 missiles launched by Iran in the 12 day war with Israel NOT one was directed to destroy the WATER SUPPLY infrastructure.
They destroyed the ELECTRICTY system, the port of Haifa,Mossad headquarters, the oil refinaries of Israel, the Stock Exchange of Israel,etc but not the water supply because they knew it would really,really,really
harm who?
Besides the Jews,the 2 million Palestinians of Israel (20% of the population). The Ayatollah knows about the three THREES:
3 minutes without AIR and you die.
3 DAYS without WATER and you die.
3 weeks without food and you die.
Oops,forgot the following:
KHOMEINI ruled Iran from 1979-1989 and he was a fanatic: persecuted the BAHAIS,executing 200,the most famous a 16 year old girl MONA called the ”Angel of Shiraz”.
KHAMENEI has ruled for 35 years.If HE were like Khomeini he would have ALREADY sent thousands of missiles to kill hundreds of thousands.
The ALAWITES are 10% of Syrians,they claim to be Muslim.Yet they believe in REINCARNATION and ALI,the nephew and son-in-law of Mohammed,founder of Islam,married to his daughter FATIMA,was what?
That Ali was the DIVINE INCARNATION of ALLAH. That contradicts the Quran.
Yet Khamenei accepted them as Muslims
and sent THOUSANDS of Iranian soldiers into Syria,to destroy who?
To destroy Al-Qaida and ISIS there.Khamenei is not a crazy fanatic.
So who wants to ride the Bomb all the way down until it Explodes?!
Slim Pickens? 🙂
The threat to Israel and the civilized world isn’t nukes. It’s ISLAM, and it’s enabler (Leftist/socialism.
COME ON PEOPLE POWER! Rise up now or it could be too late. Spill your own blood, with Honor, for the Freedom you’ve seeking for decades.
Imagine a World without the Mullahs of Iran. All the little fires would cease to exist. Any country continuing their reign of terror will be isolated.
One Spark……. what will it be?
They will install a kinder gentler megalomaniac.
America was behind 911… helping satanic worshiping muslims emigrate around the world…
Israel was behind Oct 7th… helping satanic Sunni islam to become superior…
*** Oct 7th was designed and allowed to happen… to have an excuse to attack Iran for Sunni islam…
…
All for the purpose of establishing the satanic islamic Antichrist Beast System…
Utter nonsensical claptrap.
“One report indicated that the first significant infantry forces engaged Hamas at Kibbutz Nahal Oz nearly seven hours after the attack began, with the local security squad and a few soldiers fighting alone until reinforcements arrived shortly before 2 p.m.”
7 hours to respond…
Even Iran responded to Israel quicker than that…
Not only that…
Israel evidently has a super spy telescope that can see through walls and determine how many ounces of enriched uranium Iran had developed…
But somehow Israel’s most intelligent spy agency in the world couldn’t figure out what Hamas was planning days and weeks before Oct 7th…
There’s suckers everywhere… aye?
NYT Reports Dec 2, 2023
“Israeli officials obtained Hamas’s battle plan for the Oct. 7 terrorist attack more than a year before it happened, documents, emails and interviews show. But Israeli military and intelligence officials dismissed the plan as aspirational, considering it too difficult for Hamas to carry out.”
Also saying…
“The plan also included details about the location and size of Israeli military forces, communication hubs and other sensitive information, raising questions about how Hamas gathered its intelligence and whether there were leaks inside the Israeli security establishment.”
And…
“Israeli security officials have already acknowledged that they failed to protect the country.” <<< Sounds just like 911 in America !!!
…
Raise your hand if you are a sucker?
The Jerusalem Post Reports June 17th, 2024
“IDF knew of Hamas’s plan to kidnap 250 before October 7 attack – report”
“The IDF had precise information about Hamas’s intentions”
…
The Times of Israel Reports:
in the southern Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023. (Said Khatib / AFP)
“The London-based newspaper said that plans for the devastating assault on Israeli towns close to the Gaza border began years earlier — prior to Operation Protective Edge in 2014”
And… in another article The Times of Israel Reports:
“Israel obtained, ignored Hamas document laying out Oct. 7 attack plan, report alleges”
And yet another article by The Times of Israel says…
“Lapid says Netanyahu knew for months before Oct. 7 that a violent eruption was looming”
BNI Reports:
“In Iran, women are beaten, tortured, imprisoned, raped, and even killed under the lslamic regime simply for not wearing a hijab.” <<< (Covering their hair)
…
This is what Iranians want… total Sharia Law…
Thus… for anyone to believe Iranians want so called "Freedom"… it's a lie !!!!
Search the words… “oct 7th lead to iran attack”
“The events of October 7th, 2023, a surprise attack on Israel by Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups, are seen by some as a contributing factor to later events involving direct conflict between Israel and Iran. However, U.S. intelligence suggests that key Iranian officials were surprised by the October 7th attack and thus, Iran was likely not directly involved in its planning. But, the Washington Institute notes there is a “direct line connecting the current Iran war with October 7″.”
…
Google of all things tells us this…
And it goes against the narrative we’ve been fed by the MSM…
Ask yourself… Why did Israel allow Oct 7th to happen?
Why?
To attack Iran.
Why?
To help the satanic Sunni world gain superiority… <<< Which America supports…
Until you realize that everything happening in this world revolves around satanic islam… nothing will make sense to you.
“If you don’t finish the rat killing the rats will come back!”
Ayatollahs, Mullahs, Imams, Muftis and Grand Vizers developing tactical nuclear weapons and delivery systems who are confident their dark and vengeful god is on their side. There can be no comprehensive
or lasting resolution to the Israeli-Iranian conflict as long as the fanatical fundamentalist zealots, who orchestrated the regional and global terror campaigns and proxy wars are left in power. The fundamentalist “rag hat” hard liners have got to go!
Successors to Khamenei? I’d call that quite the oxymoron.
