The killings of Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi were so amazingly successful in stabilizing those countries that Americans keep repeating the pattern.

#43The Iranian diaspora around the world is celebrating. Here's the scene in Berlin: https://youtu.be/NSbx_0mtk80?si=MJ_Bfvx8gVd1P1mm They've waited a very long time for this moment!

At some point you have to decide: if my country is held back by a brutal dictatorial regime where civilians can't hope to topple it, is there anything else to do other than get external help?
This was never about Iranian people. This is all about war mongers, puppets and idiots who believe them.
Those may be the motivations, but the outcome (so far) is still something Iranians are optimistic about

Even as we speak, Ayatollah Razmara and his cadre of fanatics are consolidating their power!
Maybe .. the revolutionary guard is fed up though with ineffective empire rule? Like to be rubbed in the dirt face first repeatetly as inheritor of the mighty persian empire sucks bad enough, to reconsider the way things are run? Sorry, but whatever israel & the us are doing, seems to work way better than - whatever has happened the last decades in iran?
Replying authoritatively to a Simpsons quote betrays you.

Defend your thesis.

I have no doubt that they didn't like that the regime, which is why they left. But this assassination is no guarantee of change for the better. Far from it.
It’s no guarantee, but it is a good opportunity. I’m half-Persian, and certainly not as closely connected as others, but it’s hard to see this as a bad thing. There’s a possibility I can go visit my family in Iran as a result of this. I haven’t had a good chance for that in like 4 years
I would defer the celebration until you can.

#49Either this will end in a fractured state with different factions OR another Ayatollah will be in charge. Just my guess from seeing similar stories play out in other countries though....
Even as we speak, Ayatollah Razmara and his cadre of fanatics are consolidating their power!
Even as we speak Israeli missiles are target at him.

#50To any Iranians of HN: how do you feel about the current situation, and what's the sentiment of Iranians abroad?
