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.
Henry Kissinger is looking up and smiling.
He's dea... oooh.
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.
It’s so funny reading most comments here, knowing that they’d be celebrating and saying this is good if it was Netanyahu. But when it’s a maniacal islamist declaring his goal to be the destruction of US and Israel, it’s suddenly very nuanced.

> 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…

What kind of all sorts of bad did they do in the past while they ruled a country? Have they ever usurped throne for 36 years?

It's not actually very funny how many people go very far out of their way to try and downplay that.

You should read up on “false equivalence”…

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

Netanyahu committed genocide. The worst crime humanity can commit. It's not actually very funny how many people go very far out of their way to try and downplay that.
