Top O’ the Briefing
Happy Wednesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (In preparation for a whirlwind book tour, the Sine Qua Non Sequitur is sharing healing baby goat videos with lumbago sufferers on Long Island.)
Examples of the horrors and evils of Islamic fundamentalists being in political control of anything abound, but Iran’s ayatollahs really stand out in a rogue’s gallery of violent psychopath dirtbags. Lefty loons will no doubt say that I’m being Islamophobic, but that’s only because they don’t know what a phobia is. I don’t think that it is at all irrational to harbor an intense dislike for people who are on record as wanting to bring about the destruction of America. Oh, they also have a lengthy history of making people who disagree with them dead.
Iran has been Middle East terrorism’s ATM for a very long time. Those suicide vests and car bombs don’t pay for themselves — the “holy” men who run the Islamic Republic of Iran foot the bill for all of that. The Hamas savages would all be living on strict ramen rations if it weren’t for the largesse of the religious leaders who run Iran.
Yeah, that’s one messed up religion.
The bearded thugs who run Iran aren’t very popular with the regular folks in the country, and haven’t been for a while now. There have been uprisings in the 21st century, but they were quickly squelched. The combination of military strongmen and weak Western leaders who struggle with telling the good guys from the bad has been too much for them to overcome.
Times have changed quite a bit, and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is probably not sleeping as well as he used to.
This is from something that Rick wrote yesterday:
“An attack combined with demonstrations by angry people could lead to a collapse (of the ruling system). That is the main concern among the top officials, and that is what our enemies want,” said an official, who, like the other officials contacted by Reuters for the story, spoke on condition of anonymity.
(This is another sign that the regime is fracturing. The flood of “anonymous sources” talking to Reuters and the international press is without precedent.)
“The reported remarks are significant because they suggest private misgivings inside the leadership at odds with Tehran’s defiant public stance towards the protesters and the U.S,” said the official.
The official is talking about an attack — even a limited one — by the United States. There may not be unanimous backbone in Western countries, but Iranian officials and nuclear engineers are painfully aware that President Trump has zero interest in playing nice with them. Khamenei probably spends hours a day staring longingly at his “Hope” poster.
There has been no indication that the U.S. is planning on striking Iran just yet, but the military is certainly prepared for it. This is from Catherine:
The U.S. Navy reportedly shot down an Iranian drone apparently threatening one of our aircraft carriers on Tuesday, as tensions continued to mount between the two countries’ governments.
Reuters reported that U.S. military officials confirmed to it that the Navy shot down an Iranian Shahed-139 drone, which “aggressively” approached the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea today. An F-35 fighter jet took out the drone after it exhibited a pattern “with unclear intent.”
Play stupid games, lose expensive toys.
For the last several years that I was in Los Angeles, I lived in a neighborhood that had a lot of Persian Jews who fled Ayatollah Khomeini in the ’70s. I heard a lot of stories about what a magnificent country Iran was before the dark cloud of Islamic rule permanently descended up on it. The young people of Iran who are rising up don’t have any direct memories of the glory days, but they’re probably carrying around stories in their hearts about them. An imagined ideal can be a powerful motivator for the downtrodden.
It’s difficult to know what the day-to-day doings of Khamenei and Co. are because it’s a very secretive regime. Iranian leaders aren’t giving a lot of interviews to MS NOW or CNN, even though they’d probably get lucrative job offers if they did. We know what the long-term goals of the Iranian leaders are, however, and they are at odds with those of the civilized free world.
They are also at odds, it would seem, with more and more Iranian people. Let us hope and pray that this is finally the time that the plan for Iran’s return to freedom will come together.
