Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been killed. He, along with other family members, was targeted in the first wave of airstrikes early Saturday. These strikes came roughly an hour after President Trump’s negotiation deadline regarding Iran's nuclear program. Significant Iranian military and intelligence sites were also targeted. Iran is now at its most vulnerable in over twenty years. The future depends on the Iranian people. We are witnessing a historic moment.
We’re also seeing some amusing media reactions. For starters, the media must acknowledge that Iranians abroad and here in the United States are ecstatic about this news. CNN was forced to admit in Los Angeles that the celebration was widespread among this community.

Iranians support this move, while white liberal women back the terrorists. Polling suggests that most Americans also support the strikes, countering the ‘no one wants this war’ narrative that the far-left tries to embed in our minds, like in the film Inception.
