I have no sympathy for Khamenei, but, if that is allowed we should not be surprised if Denmark prime minister is next?
Weirdly Europe and even Canada seem to be completely onboard with all this..
The power of sovereignty rests with the people who have given their consent in free and fair elections to have their leaders removed.

The EU should do more to move away from being dependent on america . America is a hostile nation and should be treated like Russia and China.
EU needs the US so much and every time I see this comment, I remember why. Too many idealists running the EU
The 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!
The dispora means little though, the people in the country count as they live 365 days there without the convenient ability to comment from a distance and they are ones who would have to die for a turnover.

Do enjoy the moment while it lasts. Because the next ruler will be an American stooge. This isn't going anywhere, like the other "revolutions" in the middle east.
> Because the next ruler will be an American stooge. And if that's the case, do you think that American stooge shall do worse than Khamenei who ordered his islamist guards to slaughter 30 000+ unarmed iranian protesters in a matter of days? What can be worse than religious extremist sending their fanatics into hospitals to finish the wounded? I'm in the EU and I see cars with iranian flags honking. Someone posted a v…
American seemed to have been fine with 30k people disappearing in Argentina:

While a smaller number, US seemed to have been fine with their then-friend Saddam Hussein gassing a whole bunch of Kurds:

The US stooges and friends have done all sorts of bad (maybe even worse) things in the past.
I work with and know a lot of Shia (non-Iranian) Muslims and listening to them talk about this assassination I'm convinced that the likelihood of attempted terror attacks against the US has increased significantly. The non-Iranian part is key. Millions of muslims around the world viewed the Iranian theocracy as the only power in the world fighting for Islam. They are devastated.
Sunni Muslims hate the Iranian regime and consider Shia to be heretics
You can bet that every anti-war demonstration in the West now will have as many Palestinian flags as flags of the Iranian Islamic Republic.
Stranger coalitions have been put together by politics...

Every new generation in America learns this same lesson the hard way. You and your children will be paying the bill for this war for the rest of your life. Oil and defense companies will get richer. Nothing will change in the middle east.
That's oversimplifying. Iranian regime-allied forces were a big part of why Iraq was such a quagmire. The balance of power in the Middle East is shifting from the Sunni~Shia schism that it once was. Most of the remaining powers are willing to actually engage in diplomacy with Israel & prefer secular groups to Islamist groups. There's still personality conflicts, such as the one growing between the heads of Saudi Arab…

Read the list of human rights violations in Iran here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_the_Islamic_Re... and tell us something the prime minister of Denmark has done to deserve assassination.
I swear half the people on the internet are crazy. You all would be defending Hitler if he was killed today.
"Just because he was bad doesn't give us the right to kill him". You people should hear yourselves.

Of all the countries that currently make any steps towards nuclear armament, Iran has by far the widest coalition of opponents.

But inside Tehran (and in my neighborhood of D.C.) there have been celebrations https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/world/middleeast/iran-kha...
