You think this is going to result in regime change? Khameini was 86 years old and sick. Congrats. They already had succession plans. The IRG has been through this before and has a well established chain of command. I can tell you with 99% assurance that they had quite a bit of success today at US bases in Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi, Jordan and the UAE using quite a few drones (Shaheed 136). They also pounded Tel Aviv as well as hit some Israeli critical infrastructure (water desalinization plant that provides 20% of all water in Israel) with a very limited retaliation. They are baiting us to intercept $30K Shaheed drones with $400K air-to-air munitions or $1.2M Patriot interceptors. Today we didn't and it cost us. Why aren't we using them?? Because we have a supply issue and need to hold them back for the ballistic missiles. So while we struck Khomeni's house as well as the former President's house (as well as the homes of other leaders and a girl's school), they are still attacking (even tonight) with calculated responses to see how long they can wear out our supply of missiles before launching a very large amount of ballistics. ** Edited by AirborneHokie96 at 2/28/2026, 8:39:04 PM
