I had to do a double-take. No, it wasn’t about the new Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei reportedly being gay, which would be a death knell for this terrorist-supporting, murderous regime. If there’s one thing these people cannot tolerate, it’s gays, so he might end up in a permanent coma if this is true. The new leader is reportedly unconscious, suffering severe injuries in an air strike that cost him one or both of his legs. He is unaware that his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is dead or that there’s a war going on—one that his nation is losing. And that conclusion was published in an unlikely news outlet. 

The Supreme Leader of Iran has died, the new one is in a coma and might die soon after a bunker buster was dropped on Tehran last night: was this Mojtaba falling into that permanent coma? The heart of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is gone. Most of the country's leaders are gone, and the military has been hollowed out. There are reports of mass defections within the IRGC, as the nation remains practically leaderless. Iran’s nuclear ambitions are permanently crippled, its ballistic missile infrastructure and arsenal are heavily degraded, and the navy is destroyed. Yet, some people want you to believe that we’re losing. We’re not.  

And for Al Jazeera to admit that and not any U.S.-based outlet speaks to the level of rot within our newsrooms. The former is bad, which peddles terrorist propaganda daily, but not even they could mask what’s going on in Iran. It’s an a**-whooping. From the missile arsenal to the Strait of Hormuz, all the liberal talking points against this war were laid to waste…by Al Jazeera:

Two weeks into Operation Epic Fury, the dominant narrative has settled into a comfortable groove: The United States and Israel stumbled into a war without a plan. Iran is retaliating across the region. Oil prices are surging, and the world is facing another Middle Eastern quagmire. US senators have called it a blunder. Cable news has tallied the crises. Commentators have warned of a long war. […] But this narrative is wrong. Not because the costs are imaginary, but because the critics are measuring the wrong things. They are cataloguing the price of the campaign while ignoring the strategic ledger. […] Iranian ballistic missile launches have fallen by more than 90 percent from 350 on February 28 to roughly 25 by March 14, according to publicly available data. Drone launches tell the same story: from more than 800 on Day 1 to about 75 on Day 15. The figures drawn from US and Iranian military statements differ in detail but converge on the trajectory. Hundreds of Iranian missile launchers have been rendered inoperable. According to........
