I've lost count of how many Iranian leaders have been eliminated so far.
They've taken down many since the beginning of Operation Epic Fury, starting with the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. And we still haven't seen any sign of his replacement, his son, Mojtaba Khamenei.
Now they just got another one, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) intelligence chief, Major General Majid Khademi, who was taken out in a joint U.S. and Israeli strike, according to Fox's Trey Yingst.
IRGC intelligence chief Major General Majid Khademi was killed overnight, a senior Israeli official told Fox News.

“Khademi wasn’t just any figure; he was effectively number two within the IRGC, one of the few senior commanders who managed to survive multiple waves of Israeli and American targeting over the past year,” according to a senior Israeli official. He directly oversaw operations that targeted U.S. forces and allies across the region. So that's going to put a crimp in those actions.

You also have to figure he must have known he was on the list and taken precautions — yet they had such good intel, they were still able to get him. That has to strike fear into the rest. But I'm sure the Democrats and the liberal media will try to spin this into it somehow being a sign that Iran is winning.
Plus, that wasn't the only important person who was taken out overnight. The Israelis also got another big one: Yazdan Mir, also known as Sardar Bagheri, leader of the Quds Force's Unit 840, a covert operational group allegedly responsible for conducting terrorist operations outside Iran.

The remaining Iranian leaders should be seriously considering that ceasefire proposal, if they don't want to be added to the growing list of those taken out. We reported earlier how one of the Iranian embassies had been trying to troll President Donald Trump over the Strait of Hormuz by trolling on X.

But that's not a good approach when the clock is counting down, and your leaders are getting taken out like this. Posting smack on social media is not a particularly good defense to real-life attacks.
Editor's Note: For decades, former presidents have been all talk and no action. Now, Donald Trump is eliminating the threat from Iran once and for all.
