<\/p>\nAnd now, at least one faction of the hardline 8th-century barbarian leadership that has ruled Iran since 1979 has surfaced,\u00a0calling for the assassinations of President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:<\/p>\n
Iran\u2019s most senior clerics have called for the assassinations of President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, declaring the leaders mahdour al-dam \u2014 or deserving of death.<\/em><\/p>\n The 88-member Assembly of Experts issued a 10-point statement in which they said killing \u201cthe wicked prime minister of the Zionist regime\u201d and \u201cthe criminal American president\u201d was a religious duty that must be carried out \u201cunder any circumstances.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The clerics \u2014 who are constitutionally tasked with choosing and supervising the supreme leader \u2014 wrote that the call for their assassinations that avenging the death of supreme leader Ali Khamenei was of \u201cparamount\u201d importance.<\/em><\/p>\n Speaking of the \u2018supreme leader,\u2019 there is still no word that he\u2019s even a functioning human at this point. He may not even be coherent, much less alive. At the same time, the feckless mullahs aren\u2019t the only ones taking the tough guy approach:<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Iranian newspaper Hamshahri ran a front-page story featuring Trump\u2019s face in the crosshairs of a rifle scope with a banner headline reading \u201cRevenge is certain.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Granted, Iran has always talked a tough game. But let\u2019s be clear: There have been several real attempts on Trump\u2019s life, so we have to take this latest threat seriously. The previous attempts were made by amateurs, and the first one nearly took Trump\u2019s life,\u00a0missing by an ear\u2019s length:<\/p>\n Any such attempt by a nation-state, with the resources of even a failed nation-state like Iran, would be very different; the attempt would be made by trained people, well-equipped, well-prepared, almost certainly working in a team of 2-3, possibly \u2013 likely \u2013 with more than one shooter. Iran has people like that, just as we do, just as any nation-state would.<\/em><\/p>\n There are, right now, between 20,000 and 30,000 Iranian nationals in the country illegally, having entered, mostly, across the southern border and again, mostly, during the four years of the Biden administration\u2019s non-enforcement of the border. If one percent of those are some kind of operative, infiltrated into the United States while the border was wide open, then that makes up 200-300 possible hostile operators.<\/em><\/p>\n That\u2019s enough to cause a lot of trouble. That\u2019s a reinforced company of infantry, more or less. This is a threat that the Secret Service, as well as PM Netanyahu\u2019s security detail, should be taking seriously. What the mullahs don\u2019t understand is that, should they succeed in this, and should they be able to establish that Iranian operatives successfully carried out an attack on the President of the United States, the likely outcome would be a rain of hellfire upon their country, the likes of which only the United States can deliver.<\/em><\/p>\n That might not matter to these crazed mullahs. They appear to see death as some kind of revolting reward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It may seem that the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is currently in control in Iran, but it is likely that the mullahs still hold significant influence, even from … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,1],"tags":[2,21,20],"class_list":["post-1599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","category-trending","tag-breaking-news","tag-donald-trump","tag-donaldtrump"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thejoeroganpod.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thejoeroganpod.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thejoeroganpod.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thejoeroganpod.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thejoeroganpod.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1599"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thejoeroganpod.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1599\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1600,"href":"https:\/\/thejoeroganpod.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1599\/revisions\/1600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thejoeroganpod.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thejoeroganpod.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thejoeroganpod.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
