While Leftists mourn the loss of the Ayatollah Khamenei, Iranians — especially in the diaspora — have been celebrating his demise and the collapse of his regime. This includes celebrations in Iran, America, and elsewhere.

They're also paying respects to the four U.S. soldiers who lost their lives in Operation Epic Fury, placing flowers at the American consulate in Toronto.

It's such a moving tribute.

What a powerful moment.

There are so many people who are grateful to President Trump and the U.S. for liberating Iran.

"Many Iranians are offering flowers and paying tribute to the U.S. military soldiers. How far will the TV try to deceive us? How far can it go as a villain?" the X user wrote.

The answer is: as far as they need to.

"Our kids' blood is boiling. The historic presence of the diaspora in support of the U.S. Liberation Army's offensive, paying respect to the American martyr heroes, paying respect to the American flag—that's the s*** dumped right in the mouths of those American lefties who wanted to stage so-called anti-war protests. Don't underestimate the political impact of this diaspora move," this X user added.

Zelensky not saying thank you during a visit to the White House was a hot-button issue last year.

This war was never about the Iranian people. They've been oppressed and abused by the Iranian regime for almost 50 years. They deserve a chance at freedom and to build a government that represents them. President Trump has told them, and Secretary Hegseth reiterated this morning, that this is their moment.
