Ali Khamenei

has become stronger.

I think you had knocked off the supreme leader, Khamenei.

The president is largely a figurehead.

You removed people like Larijani who had the experience to negotiate, mediate.

Will this land, do you think? Actually, he's playing right into Al-Sayed's hand here because Al-Sayed has started to say, you know, as people are questioning, you have Republicans like frantically looking for a Muslim Brotherhood membership card, right? And he's able to say, why are you guys asking that question? Why are you paying attention to me this way? And he's conflating, in some cases, actual prejudice and Islamophobia and sort of the type of rhetoric you're seeing with Trump.

And then very valid reasons about the people he associates with, the problematic policies he champions, choosing to campaign with somebody like Hassan Piker, the things he said about Israel, his response to things like the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

So, if anything, Trump is really helping al-Sayed here by laying the path there for him to say, oh, they're just focusing on my religion.

And really, voters should have valid questions about al-Sayed's radical associations with people like Hasan Piker and his policies.

And it's worth remembering, that the current round of fighting in fact was recommenced actually by the Saudis.

The Saudis attacked a delegation of Iranians or people who just visited Iran who were returning from Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's funeral back in the summer in July of this year.

And that was the move which then sort of reignited the fighting and the Houthis responded.

And as of now, at least I would say, What we've seen is that the assumption that the Houthis were weakened may have been premature, because what has happened is that the Houthis have now launched an offensive of their own in recent weeks, as you're aware, down towards the south.

As Tel Aviv and several other cities were bombed, and the Islamic regime remained in power in Tehran.

But to his supporters, Netanyahu is the one who eliminated the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the one who got rid of Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, in Beirut in September 2024.

And yet, the Shiite movement remains active in southern Lebanon, and Israeli forces continue their offensive.

Supported by Donald Trump, whom he considers Israel's closest ally, Benjamin Netanyahu is seen by many Likud voters as the only one capable of defending his country.

The governments making these unfounded accusations are the ones with a record of assassination.

The United States and Israel opened the war on February 28 by killing Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in its first hours.

What is the Trump administration preparing? CNN reported October 15 that the US military had drawn up new strike plans that included dropping the GBU-43, the bomb known as the mother of all bombs, on Iran.

Is Trump planning to drop the mother of all bombs on Tehran? Will Trump use nuclear weapons? Will he deploy ground troops? How, after a full-scale aerial bombardment that largely depleted the United States stock of long-range missiles and interceptors, does Trump expect to finish Iran off? No one can say whether Trump will act on his threats, but the threats themselves are a sign of desperation.

that it had any idea.

What actually made it a little more shocking was the immediate reaction of the Indian government to the conflict itself, that it took four or five days for the government to react to the killing of Iran's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, and even more to react to the killing of 168 at that school in Minab, that sort of was a little more surprising.

It seemed to denote that there was a real shift in Indian policy.

But like all things, and that's why I say the strategic autonomy aspect of what we're seeing in Indian foreign policy seems to reassert itself because you realize that then the government decided that this was not going to be the policy, that actually India would begin to condemn violence on all sides.

We also have the statements about enriched uranium from Mohsen Rezaeh.

Moftaba Khamenei has made gestures towards lifting the fatwa that his father, Ali Khamenei, had on nuclear weapons.

So you have, in the same day, promises from Iranian leadership to wipe Israel off the map and to keep their enriched material.

So you can see that they are in no way backing down.

But this goes on to say, Lauder says he saw 30 years ago how Netanyahu put his own political future ahead of the countries and is now determined to wake up the Israeli public before it is too late.

He has cut ties with Israel over the past year, telling Haaretz, I sold my house in Tel Aviv, and saying he gave his Beersheba property to the Jewish National Fund, which he chairs.

Addressing Israelis, he said, your fathers fought for the country and you're losing everything because of stupidity.

What you have is a dictator, a one-person show.
