There is freedom in the air. Freedom and relief, coupled with the thrill and excitement over a new future for Iran. Thanks to the success of "Operation Epic Fury," and Israel's op, "Roaring Lion," the citizens of Iran are celebrating in the streets without fear of reprisal, and Iranians in the diaspora in other countries have joined them with joyful tears.

At a pro-freedom rally in Melbourne, members of the Iranian diaspora told me they believe the regime’s days are numbered.
Some are already planning their trip back.

As RedState reported, President Donald Trump reached his breaking point on Saturday with Iran, launching a massive joint air assault in conjunction with the Israelis. The attacks are expected to last for several days, and unlike the 12 Day War, this operation appears to have a more final endgame: The end of the Iranian Islamic regime.

IRANIANS CELEBRATE IN THE STREETS
You won’t see the Iranian diaspora protesting against the strike on the Islamic extremists led by Khamenei and the Islamic Republic of Iran. You may see some old burnt over woke HIPPIES from a struggling No Kings protest.
But, Iranians all over the world are celebrating that the largest hostage situation on the globe is coming to an end…like these Iranians celebrating and dancing in the streets of Australia.
They know this is the beginning of the end for the Ayatollah's oppression.
Will you join me in praying for the Iranian people and our troops?
