Has anyone else seen this? What do you think about the veracity of this?

If someone thinks it's a bot or something let me know. Don't want to spread misinformation.

Thanks!

1. I'm thinking Conway vets his posts

We could be in for a long haul. Dumpy put the screws to the whole planet because of what he did w/ epstein. Write, call, protest. Do what you can.

2. .

[Metaphorical]

3. Yes.

I made the same observation last night. Khameni was the head cleric of a major religious organization, but he was also in his 80, Secession plans were guaranteed at a military organizational level.

The Iranians have also perfected stealth urban warfare. Suicide bombers, Drone attacks. Guerilla insurgents.

Additionally, they are China's biggest oil supplier. Expect Chinese retaliation soon.

And remember, the US struck first. I may be wrong. But I expect the markets will be in freefall pn Monday morning, especially if rumors that the Iranians hit the USS Abraham Lincoln are true.

Trump just started World War III.

7. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump wants World War III.

He would get to use nuclear bombs. He is probably itching to. It's the ultimate.

[RandomNumbers]

11. Every day, TSF looks closer to meeting his maker. Why NOT take us all down

with him?

I wouldn't put it past him to think just like that. The more destruction he can wield on his way out, the happier he will be.

Thanks, MAGA voters.

13. THIS.........

A handful of narcissistic Psychopaths have, in their hands, enough nuclear weapons to destroy all life on the planet, a thousand times over........The leaders of Russia, U.S. North Korea, Israel....

All of which have the mindset of: I GO, ..........YOU ALL GO............

What could possibly go wrong????????????????/

[Grown2Hate]

22. It's like those monsters that kill their whole family before killing themselves (instead of just

starting with themselves). Same type of person we're dealing with here.

[popsdenver]

14. Not just Trump/Republicans

Putin would have no problem using smaller tactical nukes on Ukraine, if they continue to win.....

He has shown he will utilize Ukraine nuclear reactors, to help Russia win the war.....He is attacking their nuclear reactors that provide energy for Ukraine.......Sending a drone into Chernobyl, after Ukraine had just built a new sarcophagus at great expense to protect everyone, was a prime example......the gaping whole he made with the drone is leaking radiation all over again...when/if that doesn't work, he will have no problem using small tactical nuclear weapons if he continues to lose.......

18. ...and for bonus points...

people would stop bring up Epstein. For a while anyway.

[chowder66]

4. There's around 190,000 in the IRGC of which the majority I'm sure are now all like little Trumps needing to

avoid being prosecuted for their crimes. Think of the lengths they will go to.

Also, this doesn't account for those in their very large military that support their hardline leadership.

[peggysue2]

5. Malcolm Nance said the same thing yesterday in a You Tube discussion

He said there are a number of power centers within the Iranian system, all of which could take over if one is wiped out. The system was deliberately structured in that manner as a defensive precaution, hydra in nature. So even if all the mullahs were eliminated, the power, the governing.decision-making processes would switch to another power center. Khamenei's assassination does not guarantee a better, more reasonable governance. In fact, the word is that Agent Orange was warned by military and intelligence personnel that taking out Khamenei could easily result in a worse outcome--a more hardline, more vengeful and violent replacement.

The really disgusting part of this gambit is calling on the Iranian population to "take over their government" shortly after 10 to 30,000 were slaughtered by Iran's enforcement arm, the Basij. Those intelligence forces are still intact and on the ground ready to mow down any and all resistance.

This was NOT a well-thought out plan. Epic Fury has been renamed Epstein Fury.

Sadly, that fits.

Trump may try to temporarily paper-over or deflect from his depraved past but Epstein will haunt him forever.

9. The Iranian people and their allies are all joining protests with "death to America"

calls.

Life under republican rule in the USA.

[BidenRocks]

21. Please get it correct.

Good Americans did not do this!
This is all chumpnyahoo!
I feel they want Tehran to be a 50s version like Beirut.
Drinking, gambling and check your religion at the door!
If we need to turn you into Gaza, our sucker citizens will fall for anything!
Look! An immigrant! Look! An imaginary nuclear program I lied to you about!
Meanwhile they are the terrorists.
NO CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL!

ILLEGAL STRIKE! Impeach 'em All!

Military success is not a valid reason to crap on OUR Constitution!
America the extortionist regime with the largest collection agency.
Regime change or else!

I am not liking America very much myself!

[popsdenver]

15. And, another thought.......

are Trump/RepubliCONs setting us up for another 9/11, just like the last one Louis Freigh?/Chenney/Rumsfeld brought our way????????

[Deuxcents]

6. This morning on Velshi, MSNOW, he broke down the Iranian hierarchy ..pretty much what's on Bluesky

Edit to say..my guess is TSF and his best team of advisors have no clue of Iran’s history, culture or political situation but BB should know

[haele]

20. Bibi wants continual war, for himself and his family.

He's eyeball deep in corruption along with his ultra-orthodox and conservative allies in Government, and "war" with hard-line Islam is the only thing keeping them all from being hauled in front of judges.
I am equally sad for the majority of the Israeli, Iranian, Lebanese, and Palestinian people who just want to live their lives in peace as I am for the US, Russian, Venezuelan, and Ukrainian who also just want to live in peace.

Fuck the rich, narcissistic asshats who drive their own countries into "easy" wars to hide their crimes or hold on to power. Their brats and sycophants aren't going to suffer or grieve.

[ananda]

8. IOW, be careful what you wish for.

You might get something worse.

Still... I really would like to see a free
and just society for both America and Iran.

[BComplex]

10. Me, too, Ananda. And I agree that THIS is no way to achieve either one.

Damn trump and the republicans.

[RandomNumbers]

12. You and others here might like to see a free and just Iran

but under no circumstances is it up to America to start bombing the hell out of autocratic countries with the excuse that is what we are trying to do. (AS IF that is even what TSF is about anyway)

[ananda]

26. Totally agree.

...

[Jbraybarten]

16. Exactly. Someone will likely takeover and also want to avenge this. Not to mention this will only encourage

more effort for nukes and attacks.

[txwhitedove]

17. Yes, saw on BlueSky this morning, believe it. There are reasons no one just ran it and killed

him before now.

[aggiesal]

19. If you go to the actual posting, he follows up with comments that explain even more details. Here it is ...

23. We're sure Trump, et al have well thought this through, right? RIGHT??!

Totally convinced that a guy with a Filet O Fish for a brain has this all under control.

[ananda]

27. ROFL -- As if...

[Mblaze]

24. Who really knows? Who trusts any report in the Trump era?

I can easily imagine that a contingency plan was in place. It will unfold.

[pat_k]

25. There has been other reporting on the four layers of succession for key positions.

And as far as analysis that indicates the many paths to a worse situation and narrow path to a better situation, Tom Nichols analysis is excellent:
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/02/trumps-iran-regime-change-attack-gamble/686190/?gift=CiksPDoBurvFhUHnw_O61jINW4HWOWUXnT34BmMGFng&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share

Not to mention that Khamenei may be a more powerful force as a martyr than he was as an aging, infirm, living leader.

A few tidbits from The Guardian

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/feb/28/strategic-options-iran-retaliate-us-israel-analysis

Last summer during the 12-day war with Israel, Khamenei had named three potential successors should he be killed. Reports earlier this month indicated that Khamenei had named four layers of succession for key government and military jobs, in an effort to ensure regime survival in the face of a US-Israeli attack.

....
The early indications are that the US and Israel plan a bombing campaign that could last weeks, while Iran runs down its estimated stock of 2,000 ballistic missiles. Its ability to retaliate at scale may only last a few days, while the US can run in excess of 125 bombing missions a day from each of its aircraft carriers alone.

Iran has few good strategic options now it is under sustained attack. The regime’s best prospect may be to try to endure the waves that are likely to come, continue to retaliate while it can, and try to retain control of the streets given that the US and Israel have so far expressed no intention of mounting a ground invasion.

If that is the case, it is not obvious how the war will end. “In short, the US and Israel have started this war with vague and unachievable objectives, with no international law base, and little or no support from Gulf states or other US allies,” said Lord Ricketts, a former UK national security adviser.

And from WaPo

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/02/28/iran-war-strikes-bombing-trump-nuclear/

...
It’s essential to think through the endgame when deciding to kill the leaders of another country. Trump urged civilians to “take over” the government after the airstrikes finish. “It will be yours to take,” he said. “This will be probably your only chance for generations.” If only it was that easy.

It’s possible a military junta gains control and intensifies repression. It’s also possible that a country of 93 million, more than twice the geographic size of Texas, splinters along ethnic lines. That could mean civil war and instability that leads to the intervention of neighboring armies.

It’s hard to see how “freedom for the people” can be accomplished in any meaningful sense without some U.S. boots on the ground, at least for a time. Yet Trump appears to lack any appetite for doing so. That might give pause to civilians trying to decide whether to risk their lives by rising up.

I can't find the article, but one article I didn't bookmark speculated that the attack could strengthen, not weaken, the IRGC. I did come across a headline from Foreign Policy to that effect, but hit a paywall. If anyone has a subscription to, I'd love to see a gift link to this article:

Iran Is Built to Withstand the Ayatollah’s Assassination

The U.S. and Israeli militaries are targeting Iran’s leaders—but that may only strengthen the state.

28. If This Is True

It’s miles ahead of any analysis I’ve read in the M$M the last few days.

Oil market opens in a couple of hours. We’ll see what happens in a bit.

[HeartsCanHope]

30. Just want to thank everyone for all the posts!

I appreciate you all taking the time to help me figure out what is going on. Scary stuff!

Never know anymore if the post is real or just misinformation. On YouTube there are accounts now that seem like

they are reputable, but they turn out to be bots and such. It means so much that everyone on DU takes the time to

help each other out. DUers are awesome!
