    Iran would “avenge the blood” of Iranians killed in the war with the US and Israel, Khamenei said in the statement, which also warned neighbouring countries to stop hosting US bases. He was named supreme leader on 8 March after his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed on the first day of the war. Mojtaba Khamenei lost his wife and a son in the US-Israeli strike on the supreme leader’s compound that killed his father. His mother was also reportedly killed in the attack, though one Iranian outlet has since said she is alive.

    Yeah this isn’t going to end anytime soon. They killed his father, son, wife, and possibly his mother. Plus those 160 girls.

    I don’t think they’ll be negotiating.

    This whole fucking thing was a mistake, and we’re about to see inflation that makes COVID look like a cakewalk. 20% less fertilizer for the entire world, less gas, less plastic and pharmaceuticals. Almost all manufacturing is going to go way up in costs, as is transporting it.

    We’re all fucked thanks to the morons in the US.

      The attack was made during negotiations. After Iran already agreed to concede on almost everything.

      And it secured unification behind the new leader for another 50 years
