Yes, that makes sense! It would end up just as bad as before if they allowed them to install another ayatollah, so I’m glad he’s doing that.

Israeli strikes targeted Iranian oil and gas infrastructure on Saturday night, marking the first reported attack on the regime’s fuel facilities as Jerusalem and Washington’s joint military operation entered its second week.
The IDF called it a significant strike and an additional step in deepening the damage to the Islamic Republic’s military infrastructure, adding that Israeli forces will continue to operate with determination in order to significantly degrade the regime’s capabilities and remove threats to the State of Israel.
The IAF struck two of the Iranian regime’s main ballistic missile production sites as part of expanded strikes in recent days targeting the Islamic Republic’s weapons-manufacturing industries, Israel’s military said on Saturday.
Later on Sunday, the IDF announced that more than 400 military infrastructure sites in western and central Iran were struck over the past 24 hours, including ballistic missile launchers and other weapons-production facilities.

The Israel Defense Forces on Monday [March 16, 2026] eliminated senior Iranian security official Ali Larijani, believed to be responsible for ordering the killings of thousands of anti-regime protesters, Defense Minister Israel Katz said.
“I have just been updated by the chief of staff that Larijani, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, and the head of the Basij—Iran’s central repression apparatus—Gholamreza Soleimani, were eliminated last night,” Katz said in remarks on Tuesday morning.
Larijani had long been a senior figure in Tehran’s power structures and recently served as secretary of its Supreme National Security Council, which has the final say over policies, including the nuclear program.
Basij commander Soleimani led Iran’s main repression operations, employing severe violence, widespread arrests and the use of force against civilian protesters. Soleimani headed the unit for six years.
Basij militiamen took part in suppressing anti-regime protests earlier this year, with rights groups and eyewitnesses reporting their use of force—including live fire and mass arrests—against demonstrators.

Ali Larijani, Iran’s top national security official and a confidant of the slain Khamenei, shot back at Trump on X, saying Iran did not fear his “hollow threats”, per a translation.
"So beware lest you be the one who disappears,” he wrote, according to a translation of the post.
Guess who disappeared?
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani was targeted in the single most momentous targeted killing since the beginning of the war on February 28, three separate sources confirmed to The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday [March 17, 2026].
Larijani’s death was confirmed by Defense Minister Israel Katz shortly after. The military referred to Larijani as “the de facto leader of the Iranian terror regime".

Jillian, I finished reading Hitler’s Children. It read pretty well. My favorite line from it was, “How could anyone do anything so nonsensical?” All through it I kept thinking that some people just can’t stand prosperity.
