New: Iran Hardliners Now Calling for Trump, Netanyahu Hits As Peace Talks Teeter

While it looks a lot like the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is running the show in Iran right now, it's also very likely that the mullahs are still wielding a lot of influence, even from whatever rocks they are hiding under. Iran's supposed civil government, or what's left of it, is still talking about a possible peace deal, but the IRGC is still trying to hit shipping in the Strait of Hormuz as well as tossing whatever they have left at neighboring nations.

Now, at least one group of the 7th-century barbarians who have been in power in Iran since 1979 has surfaced, to call for the assassinations of America's President Donald Trump and Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Iran’s most senior clerics have called for the assassinations of President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, declaring the leaders mahdour al-dam — or deserving of death.
The 88-member Assembly of Experts issued a 10-point statement in which they said killing “the wicked prime minister of the Zionist regime” and “the criminal American president” was a religious duty that must be carried out “under any circumstances.”
The clerics — who are constitutionally tasked with choosing and supervising the supreme leader — wrote that the call for their assassinations that avenging the death of supreme leader Ali Khamenei was of “paramount” importance.

Speaking of that supreme leader, we still have no indication, no evidence that the new supreme leader is still carrying out metabolic functions. But the mullahs aren't the only ones talking tough.

Meanwhile, Iranian newspaper Hamshahri ran a front-page story featuring Trump’s face in the crosshairs of a rifle scope with a banner headline reading “Revenge is certain.”

Now, while Iran in general has a habit of having their mouths write checks their butts can't cash, this isn't a warning that should be taken too lightly.

Breaking: After Iran Attacks Cargo Ship, Trump Makes Them Regret It

Remember, we have seen three assassination attempts against President Trump: Two during the campaign and one during his second term. These were attempts by amateurs, and yet one of them almost succeeded; the president escaped a fatal shot by a literal hair's breadth.

Any such attempt by a nation-state, with the resources of even a failed nation-state like Iran, would be very different; the attempt would be made by trained people, well-equipped, well-prepared, almost certainly working in a team of 2-3, possibly - likely - with more than one shooter. Iran has people like that, just as we do, just as any nation-state would.

There are, right now, between 20,000 and 30,000 Iranian nationals in the country illegally, having entered, mostly, across the southern border and again, mostly, during the four years of the Biden administration's non-enforcement of the border. If one percent of those are some kind of operative, infiltrated into the United States while the border was wide open, then that makes up 200-300 possible hostile operators.

That's enough to cause a lot of trouble. That's a reinforced company of infantry, more or less. This is a threat that the Secret Service, as well as PM Netanyahu's security detail, should be taking seriously. What the mullahs don't understand is that, should they succeed in this, and should they be able to establish that Iranian operatives successfully carried out an attack on the President of the United States, the likely outcome would be a rain of hellfire upon their country, the likes of which only the United States can deliver.

It doesn't seem likely that would deter them from the attempt, though. These are, after all, people who see death as some kind of sick reward. We should remember that, too.

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.
