  • becomes martyr at the hands of people he's said were "the devil" for decades proving his point.
  • Inspires supporters to fight against the existential threat the enemy has proven themselves to be.

It seems a very stupid thing for US-Israel to give them all the ammunition in their internal propaganda war.

Makes perfect sense if you dont really care about the iranians and just want to ensure continual conflict in the region so you can gain cheap resource access and can legitimize your authoritarian regime because your country is oh so threatened all the time.

And distract people from the Epstein files.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

As opposed to which course of action where they wouldn't say those things?

[–] Ummdustry@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I mean, yeah, but also it depends on America's war aims. If the plan is to just blow him up and leave ala venezula I'm not sure trump cares.

depends on America’s war aims

You mean distracting the masses from the Epstein files?

[–] DigitalAudio@sopuli.xyz 5 points 14 hours ago

I really think you guys need to wake up to the fact that they don't care about distracting from the Epstein files because they know they can't be held accountable whatsoever.

The reality is every file could come out unredacted tomorrow and absolutely nothing would happen (maybe one or two major donors would get house arrest at best).

They're not trying to distract from anything because it doesn't matter. No one will do anything.

They are just furthering the US's economic and military goals by toppling unfriendly governments because they can. They don't care about optics, but they do care about whatever goals they have underlined for themselves.

The most likely unsettling reality for most American progressives, I imagine, is that toppling Iran, establishing a friendly government and gaining military power in the region, benefits them as well, just like with Venezuela, but it is a dark reality for most of the rest of the world. Not because Iran's government was great, they were absolute shit, but because that means the US will just extort whoever they want whenever they want.

Some Americans probably prefer to believe this is a distraction than to see how this ultimately does benefit their own country's immediate military interests at the expense of almost everybody else, not to mention setting an incredibly grim precedent for the future.

Basically, I think people are being naive or deliberately playing dumb when they pretend they don't understand how this benefits the US military industrial complex, and instead think it's all a distraction. Yes, what benefits you guys actively harms other humans. That's the sad reality of geopolitics sometimes.

[–] Ummdustry@sh.itjust.works 1 points 16 hours ago

yeah, bingo.

[–] shawn1122@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 days ago

It would be generous to call that a plan.

[–] Dearth@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

The ayatollah has spent decades building up redundancies in his regime to prepare for this war. There's already a replacement for his replacement.

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

they're still just a useful punching bag, there's only so much they can do squirreled away digging oil from deserts in the middle of nowhere

the funny part is, the West's enemies best avenue for attack/disruption (*especially the US) is a direct consequence of the mass propaganda they go out of their way to depoly against their own citizenry

More like pay-to-win. America has the advanced military DLC in a server with basic free accounts.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 35 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Now if only Trump, Putin, and Netanyahu would follow his lead.

[–] MrSpArkle@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I don’t think I want Trump dying while doing what he loved.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Didn’t really think that one through I guess

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I mean, it's Ivanka right? I'm okay with that.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 22 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

fishy af, I expect some kind of intelligence/secret service fuckery. What kind of authoritarian leader dies on the first day of a war?

[–] tackleberry@thelemmy.club 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

The kind that their death leads to escalated conflicts in a region and beyond

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They've outright said the CIA was tracking his movements.

Although, I have a suspicion someone on the inside betrayed him, perhaps after seeing so many protesters slaughtered.

[–] tackleberry@thelemmy.club 2 points 12 hours ago

Definitely someone on the inside no doubt.

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 6 points 2 days ago

One that was 86.

"Oh fuck. They're here. I'll be off now"

[–] onionsinmypores@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Where exactly is the 4chan in 2026? I would like to pay it a visit.

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 14 hours ago

Same place it's always been? Is the main domain blocked for you?

[–] genau@europe.pub 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] onionsinmypores@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Like they have been edited for this post? Or Is this a 4chan meme? The date does seem to say 1st March , 2026. Unless it's 26th March 2003 of course

[–] onionsinmypores@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This man invented Polymarket

[–] genau@europe.pub 1 points 13 hours ago

I kinda did.

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 2 days ago

How is this the first day instead of just a new wave of attacks.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (6 children)

Other than the white house, has there been any confirmation he was killed?

It just seems... Suspicious.

Edit: IDK guys a few more of you could let me know if Iran confirmed it or not

[–] Pechente@feddit.org 45 points 2 days ago (2 children)

His death has been reported by Iranian state media

[–] modus@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

But have you personally seen the body? Hmmm... I didn't think so.

[–] Una@europe.pub 25 points 2 days ago

It is true, Wikipedia page says "was" instead of "is" 

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Khamenei

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Iran's surviving government has confirmed it

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

As you've been told, Iran has confirmed it and conspiracy ideologists are already looking for his hiding place in the mountains.

(gotta admit, it doesn't seem TOO far-fetched though)

[–] lemming@anarchist.nexus 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yes, there has.
