Obama's deal with Iran on Nukes was tantamount to Trudeau's safe Supply policy.
They were bragging about having enough enriched Uranium to build the nukes at the peace talks.
We need to destroy their armed forces and kill or jail the rest of their leadership.

Anyway…Trump made the remarks on social media just hours after Iran's president announced that unspecified countries had begun mediation efforts, one of the first signals of any diplomatic initiative to ‌end the conflict.

"There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!" Trump wrote.

"After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger (& faster?) than ever before."
The surrender demand, and the likelihood that this would complicate any quick path to ending a conflict that has interrupted global energy supplies, caused immediate shock in financial markets. European share markets, open at the time of Trump's post, suffered a sudden swoon. Wall Street opened sharply lower soon after, etc…

U.S. President Donald Trump told Reuters on Thursday the United States must be involved in choosing the next leader of Iran and said it would be "wonderful" if Iranian Kurdish forces based in Iraq were to cross into Iran to launch attacks on security forces there?

Trump said in a ‌telephone interview that he thinks the next leader of Iran is unlikely to be the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's son, who has emerged as a frontrunner to succeed his father, who was killed in a military strike at the start of the war.

"We're going to have to choose that person along with Iran. We're going to have to choose that person," Trump said.

Trump also encouraged Iranian Kurdish forces to go on the offensive, speaking six days after the U.S. and Israel launched attacks on Iran on Saturday. The conflict has killed more than 1,000 people, including at least six U.S. service members, and caused damage and instability throughout the Middle East.

"I think it's wonderful that they want ⁠to do that, I'd be all for it," the president said.

On leadership succession in the Islamic Republic, the Republican U.S. president drew a parallel to Venezuela, where U.S. forces removed President Nicolas Maduro in January, leaving in charge Delcy Rodriguez, his number two, who Trump said "has done a wonderful job."

"We want to be involved in the process of choosing the person who is going to lead Iran into the future, so we don't have to go back every five years and do this again and again. We want somebody that's going to be great for the people, great for the country," Trump said.

He did not elaborate after saying that Khamenei's son Mojtaba, who has emerged as a frontrunner to succeed him, was an unlikely choice.

Asked whether exiled Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, the son of the last shah, was a possibility, Trump said, "I think everybody's in the mix. It's very early."

Is new Ayatollah a nepo baby who went to UK for impotency treatment?
Ali Khamenei's second-oldest son Mojtaba Khamenei has reportedly been elected the next Supreme Leader by Iran‘s Assembly of Experts

Mojtaba Khamenei
MEET THE NEW AYATOLLAH, SAME AS THE OLD AYATOLLAH: Mojtaba Khamenei
Just days after Iranian despot Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was obliterated, the rogue nation’s mad mullahs have reportedly named a successor.


He is nepo baby Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, who is now reportedly filling the old man’s shoes.


The old Ayatollah’s pulverized corpse was found in the rubble of his secret compound on Sunday following a blistering attack on the theocratic regime by the U.S. and Israel on Saturday. Mojtaba is the sinister Ali’s second-oldest son.

The attacks on the terror sponsoring nation reportedly took 40 of the regime’s fanatical leadership off the board.

Iran‘s “Assembly of Experts” have now reportedly elected Mojtaba as the next Supreme Leader, according to Iran International. And he has some fairly evil shoes to fill in the wake of his 86-year-old father’s death.

According to The New York Times, some of the kooky clerics were worried about actually naming Mojtaba the new pooh bah because they feared that would make him a target for elimination. Indeed.


The Times of Israel reported that the 88 members of the Assembly were slated to meet in the holy city of Qiom. Unfortunately, the Israeli air force turned the proposed meeting spot into a parking lot.

The change in leaders comes as the regime’s most fanatical followers, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, are pressuring the regime to strike back against the U.S. and Israel.

Revolutionary Guards love him
Mojtaba is believed to be a hardliner and he received the Guards’ endorsement.

According to reports, Mojtaba is tight with the Guards and served as a “mini-Supreme leader” within his father’s vile apparatus. He has long been eyed as the likely heir.

Mojtaba reportedly served during the bloody Iran -Iraq War in the late 1980s and has been one of the most bloodthirsty in crushing descent.

Iran watchers say he married late in life to Zahra Haddad-Adel in 2004 and their first child was born in 2007.

But the new Ayatollah may have worried if he was killed, then the 72 virgins and honeycakes may have been off the menu.

The Daily Mail, citing a U.S. intelligence document, reported that Mojtaba was frequently treated for impotency at an array of U.K. hospitals.



Pressure to produce heir
The document said the despot in waiting was under pressure to produce an heir.

His final visit lasted two months and eventually produced an heir, named Ali, after the child’s grandfather.


“Mojtaba was expected by his family to produce children quickly, but needed a fourth visit to the U.K. for medical treatment,” the intelligence paper stated. “After a stay of two months, his wife became pregnant. Back in Iran, a healthy boy was born, named Ali for his paternal grandfather.”

At the time, he was considered a possible successor to his elderly father.

“He was widely viewed within the regime as a capable and forceful leader and manager who may someday succeed to at least a share of national leadership. His father may also see him in that light,” the report said.

The only fly in the ointment was that he was seen as weak when it came to the religious game.

Ayatollah game is weak
“(He) is not expected ever to achieve by his own scholarship the status of ‘mujtahid,’ far less that of ayatollah,” the report said. “Mojtaba reportedly is quite aware of his own limitations and does not appear to harbor an expectation of becoming sole Supreme Leader in his own right.”

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was against hereditary leadership and had secretly named three potential successors before he died, none of whom was his son, the New York Times reported.

Those he did name were Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Eje’i, the head of the judiciary, his chief of staff Ali Asghar Hejazi, and Hassan Khomeini, the grandson of Iran’s first Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini.

U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran ‌would be "hit very hard" on Saturday and that he was considering widening the areas and groups of people ⁠being, targeted, without providing details…because consistency.

"Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran's bad behavior, are areas and groups ‌of ⁠people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time" (?) Trump said ⁠in a post on Truth Social.

Was it spicy food Friday at Mar-a-Lago?
