To the person who asked about Minab bombing, it's very near the Strait of Hormuz.

Thank you. Early this morning (3 am Central Time) ABC News reported from their "sources" that US officials believe it is possible that American forces are responsible for the missile attack that Iran says killed 175 school girls.

There are two versions emerging about where the bombs came from-

1. UAE

2. Bahrain

Which somewhat explains why the bases in these two countries are being hit the hardest. 

Imagine dropping all those tonnes of explosives on little girls.

Lavrov tells the Arab states and a possible example of Saudi duplicity

Lavrov would do well to give some of that advise to his own leader. The time for playing both sides and lip service to the resistance is over. Either he must pick one side, or the unforgiving hand of history will force him to do so, under much more sorry circumstances, and his Jewish banker and financer friends from Tel Aviv wont come to his rescue.

Also, the Sunni Arab kingdoms are on Israel's side. The first missiles which struck Iran came from Bahrain and UAE. One who doesn't realize this is either a fool, or a charlatan denialist, or both.

[AbdusSibtayn]

Probably one of these three main candidates (but nobody truly knows):

1. Ayatollah Alireza Arafi
2. Ayatollah Sayyed Mojtaba Khamenei
3. Ayatollah Mohammad Mahdi Mirbaqeri

Other less likely, but possible options include Ayatollah Mohsen Araki and Ayatollah Sadeq Larijani, and maybe even Hassan Khomeini or Hashem Hussein Bushehri or Eje'i.

(From Middle East Spectator)

Aren't Mojtaba Khamenei and Hassan Khomeini not mujtahids yet? Have they been granted their ijazahs in ijtihad, if yes, then by whom? If they aren't, then how are they in the race, since the WF is required to be a mujtahid as per the law?
Or is Middle East Spectator just throwing names around?

Grok confirms that this is correct

There's lots of rumours about everything at the moment ...

The issue with Russia is how much help it gives Iran, or not. As you point out the gripe with the Sunni Arab states is how much help they give the Israelis.

There is a qualitative difference.

My second point is somewhat unrelated to the first one, and related to the second link you shared, about the Saudis letting the Americans use their airspace to bomb Iran.

Of course, I can't prove it but since before Feb 28th my observation is that Russia and/or China plan to silently augment and support IRI and have a strategic plan. What IRI is doing now seems to be working according to that plan. Bleeding the wild boar in the middle east.

As per Fotros Resistance (telegram), Mojtaba Khamenei is the new supreme leader.

A Chinese company that specialises in generating geospatial intelligence is actively tracking American military aircraft and ships involved in ongoing operations against Iran, highlighting the vulnerability of conventional armed forces to observation from satellites in low Earth orbit.

Of cause you can not compare Shahid Ali Khamenei to Mohammed Reza Pahlevi, but, still it doesn't look good, if you want to convince people that Iran is not a dynastic kingdom.

This appointment would have been bad and even caused Islamic republic to collapse if his father had not been martyred. 

 

The circumstances are much different now. Atleast will be for the next few years. 

Also the war and the martyrdom prevented moderates like Rouhani, Hassan Khomeini even coming close to being in power. They would have been favorites if transition was peaceful

Ayatullah Khamenei RA did not recommend his own sons for the position of Leader. Those who voted for Agha Mojtaba must have their reasons.

What people? The worthless hypocrites taguth west? Do we anymore care what these worms anymore think about us? 

Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) have already removed the veil and shown that no one really cares. Its all play and games, this whole world.

Former joint chief of staff Mark Milley did not say this. This quote comes from retired colonel Douglas mcGregor who said it on a recent podcast, though the analysis is probably correct.

Exactly... Precisely... 100%... After the Epstein Files exposed Satanic ritual abuse, cannibalism, rape, pedophilia, blackmail, murder etc... I don't want to hear _______ ever again about Muhammad's marriage to Aisha, Muhammad's campaign against Bani Qurayza, the "And slay the Unbelievers wherever you may find them" verse etc.... White people attempting to lecture the Orient about anything moral behavior-related is laughable

Sayed khomeini(rh) was not related to sayed khamenaei(rh), yet he became supreme leader, effectivley disproving this notion that iran is a dynastic kingdom. 

Anyone falling for this nonsense, does so because they can't be bothered to do 1 minute of google search.

Salam, 

I am a bit groggy and sleep-deprived from the night long aamaal the last night, so maybe I couldn't get my point across. 

The 'mixed feelings' are not because I think he's an unfit candidate and a product of nepotism, those feelings were because the enemy is going to abuse his connection with his father. 

But then again, almost all of the Axis of resistance have pledged allegiance to him, people in Iran are overwhelmingly in his support, so what someone else feels doesn't really matter.
