In my column last week about the situation in Iran (“The Fog of Prewar in Iran”), I wrote:
Many commentators, noting Trump’s oft-proclaimed desire for “peace on earth,” believe he has paused to see if negotiations with Iran might end the slaughter. I doubt it. Trump’s desire for peace is perfectly genuine. But I note that the last time he said he wanted “peace on earth” was when he was asked whether he had any New Year’s resolutions just a couple of weeks ago. That was mere hours before he unleashed hell against the Venezuelan tyrant Nicolás Maduro, extracting him and his wife —

Khamenei thinks he's hiding out.
Yeah - - right - - as if we don't know exactly where he is - - and who is with him.

There are few people I will celebrate when they kick the bucket.
Ayatollah, Khomeini, George Soros, and Jane Fonda head the list.

We’ve watched this demented demon ruin his country and murder thousands of innocent people for over 40 years. He should have died a long time ago. There are generations of Iranians who have never known peace or freedom. Only oppression.

FTA...'We cannot rise up in any way unless someone gives us weapons. I don’t even know if we would have any chance at all. If not, everyone here would be injured or dead. So many have already been killed.'
Let that sink in. And the next time a friend or relative wonders why we have a Second Amendment tell them it's not for hunting but to keep them and us from a government like this. A government that's afraid of its citizens not citizens afraid of their government is a healthy country.

The road to peace in the ME is the removal of the mullahs.

The Iranians are being ruled by 7th-century savages. Even the Third Reich didn’t do things like this to their own people.
They have to be destroyed. Forthwith.

Great for Israel. Once we break Iran we own it. Maybe the Board of Peace will put it all together again.

When the Iranian government and the IRGC is destroyed, most of the larger terrorist groups in the ME go with it. What happened to Khamenei's freedom flight to Moscow - canceled?

The military seems to be firmly loyal to the clerics. That is unfortunate.
Trump's strategy may be to eliminate a few generals, one by one, until the rest of them wake up and smell the Iranian coffee. At that point, Russia's population will increase by one.

I certainly hope that we soon establish a no fly zone in all of Iran so the Ayatollah Khamenei cannot flee to Russia or China. Also, that we not bomb his bunker so he can be captured alive to face the justice of the citizens he has caused to live in fear for four decades. He seems to favor hanging in a strangulation death for others, so let him enjoy that experience himself. The people of Iran deserve this revenge.

It is suicide to go into the streets there. They have no weapons for defense, so they just herd them into buildings and shoot them.

The author states that the Iranian regime is masquerading as a religion. No, they are operating as radical Islamists. This is their religion. Muslim ideology should not even be considered a religion. If they would do this to their own people, note the wreckage they are attempting in the rest of the world. Non-Muslims need to take their liberal blinders off and admit the truth.
