That’s absolutely terrible unfortunately it will be overlooked because of the efficiency in eliminating reportedly 40 top officials including the supreme leader in these initial strikes

If given enough time, probably the Panama Canal region, Greenland, and Canada (possibly Nigeria and South Africa). They have actually been pretty transparent about their ambitions.

It's better for Venezuela and Iran if these military operations are swift and successful, but in a way (and it's terrible to have to think this way), it is probably better for the rest of the world if the U.S. gets stuck in some kind of quagmire. No one deserves to be the sacrificial lamb of course.

That surely helps. I can just see how this makes Iranians want to reconnect with the West.
*Checks notes*

"The Iranian regime had a military command post in one of the classrooms and also weapons hidden in the gymnasium."

I can find reasons to support action against Iran, but I'd like it to be done from positions that are grounded in truth and reality. Don't lie to me. Pretty simple request.
They've been "weeks away" since the 90s as articulated by Bibi

Killing one guy is definitely going to stop a decades-long oppressive authoritarian regime.

Congrats everyone.
