This didn’t begin Friday.
Carter started it.
Carter didn’t just watch, he helped the Ayatollah overthrow the Shah.
He watched the Islamic Republic take power, watched American diplomats get seized and paraded on television for 444 days, spent the rest of his presidency negotiating with people who had already told us exactly what they were.
Reagan facilitated it.
October 23rd, 1983. A Hezbollah truck bomb funded and directed by Iran killed 241 United States Marines in Beirut while they slept. The deadliest single day for the Marine Corps since Iwo Jima. Reagan’s response? Tehran was heard clearly and never forgotten kill enough Americans at once and America will leave.
That lesson became the operational blueprint for every Iran-backed proxy attack for the next forty years.
Clinton ignored it.
1995 — a car bomb in Riyadh kills five Americans.
1996 — Khobar Towers. A massive truck bomb kills 19 United States Air Force personnel in Saudi Arabia. Nothing.
1998 — Embassy bombings in Africa.
2000 — USS Cole. Seventeen sailors killed. Clinton launched missiles at an empty training camp and an aspirin factory. Eight years. Hundreds of Americans dead or wounded. Zero consequences for Tehran.
Bush handed them the keys.
He called them the Axis of Evil correctly. Then invaded two countries simultaneously and handed Iran the greatest strategic gift in its history. Iranian Quds Force operatives flooded across the border funding, training, and arming the militias killing our soldiers.
And the response was to continue the war while avoiding direct confrontation with the country killing our people.
By the time Bush left office Iran had deeper influence in Iraq than we did.
Obama funded it.
This is where failure becomes unforgivable. The Green Revolution of 2009 where millions of Iranians in the streets begging for American support ignored.
The protesters were crushed. The regime survived. Then came the $150 billion in sanctions relief, sunset clauses that expired within a decade, zero restrictions on ballistic missiles, and zero restrictions on funding proxy terror networks.
Then came the cash. $1.7 billion. On pallets. On an unmarked plane. In the middle of the night. Delivered simultaneously with American hostages.
The regime used the imagery as propaganda for years and used the money to fund Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthi expansion in Yemen, and the proxy militia networks in Iraq and Syria that spent the next decade killing Americans.
Obama literally funded the apparatus that put the drone into Tower 22.
Biden surrendered to it.
160-plus attacks on American forces from October 2023 forward. American soldiers killed in Jordan. Two Navy SEALs lost at sea intercepting Iranian weapons shipments to the Houthis.
Houthi missiles disrupting global shipping lanes.
Iranian proxies running operations across five countries.
Three Georgia soldiers died in their beds.
Then came Trump.
He looked at forty-five years of this record and did something no president had done since the hostages came home.
He said no.
Maximum pressure. IRGC designated as a foreign terrorist organization. Sanctions reimposed. The JCPOA abandoned. Soleimani the architect of Iranian proxy violence across the entire Middle East, personally responsible for hundreds of American deaths killed in a precision strike in January 2020.
The regime paralyzed.
The proxies recalibrated. The nuclear program set back. For the first time in four decades the regime faced a president it genuinely could not predict.
Then Trump left office. Biden came in. The pressure evaporated. The appeasement resumed. And the regime, patient as it has always been, went back to work.
And now we’re here.
So the next time someone tells you this is Trump’s war tell them they are brainless twats.
This isn’t Trump’s war.
This is forty-five years of American presidents refusing to finish it and one president finally deciding that the bill comes due.
If you are not capable of comprehending that move to Iran and defend the regime personally.

Iranians Toppling Regime
Israel and the US are rapidly dismantling Iran’s entire leadership structure which will cause much chaos within what’s left of the regime. Hopefully, this will allow the protesters to overthrow what’s left of the regime in the coming days.Israel has now started striking the Islamic regime’s anti-riot structures and forces dealing with crowd control.
Targeting internal security and command structures shows a clear strategic shift not just military, but systemic pressure. But real change ultimately depends on the Iranian people themselves, not external narratives or timelines. Moments like this are complex, and outcomes aren’t as simple as ‘one signal and everything changes. 🇺🇸🇮🇱
These strikes will help the Iranian people topple the regime once Crown Prince @PahlaviReza gives the signal to take to the streets.
🔴🔴The IDF says it decapitated the upper tier of Iran’s military command in its opening salvo, killing 40 senior commanders in under 60 seconds.
Among the dead, according to the military, is Iran’s chief of staff Abdolrahim Mousavi, who had stepped into the role after Bagheri was killed in the June 2025 war. The IDF now says it can definitively confirm Mousavi’s death.
The military states Mousavi directed Iran’s security apparatus and oversaw the launch of hundreds of ballistic missiles at Israeli cities, attacks that killed Israeli civilians.
In its assessment, the IDF says most of the highest ranking figures in Iran’s security leadership were eliminated in the strike, describing it as a sweeping blow to Tehran’s command structure.
Replacing the flag of the regime with the Lion and Sun flag on state administration building will be the first sign of the revolution.
Israel’s new targeted campaign against the Iranian regime’s key institutions responsible for anti-riot operations is the start of strategic shift to support the Iranian people’s uprising against decades of dictatorship.
Central to this effort are the new strikes on headquarters overseeing suppression forces, in particular the Special Units Headquarters of FARAJA (Law Enforcement Forces), which commands elite brigades like Amir al-Momenin for patrols and Imam Hossein for riot prevention.
These forces heavily rely on motorcycle units, armored pickups, and weapons from tear gas to Kalashnikovs and RPGs to crush protests.
Israel is now striking FARAJA Enforcement Command, across Iran but particularly hard in the Tehran region.
Similarly, Israeli airstrikes are now increasingly focused on Tharallah Headquarters (“God’s Blood”), the IRGC’s premier corps-level command for defending Greater Tehran.
Tharallah oversees all security bodies, including FARAJA, the Ministry of Intelligence and the Basij militias during crises.
It has historically directed brutal crackdowns on protests from the 1999 Student Protests to the Green Movement in 2009 and the 2022 Mahsa Amini uprising.
Israeli jets are today striking Tharallah-linked facilities and IRGC command centers focused on internal security, including Basij training sites used for protest control.
These precision operations aim to dismantle the regime’s tools for stifling dissent. By degrading command structures, morale, and operational capacity of these anti-riot forces, Israel is creating openings for Iranians to take to the streets, seize institutions and pursue democratic transition.
The strikes are also demoralizing the regime’s security forces, with sign of a wave of defections and security forces refusing to follow orders given by their commanders.
Israel wants to empower the Iranian people and give them a path to overthrowing the regime.
Once Crown Prince @PahlaviReza gives the command, millions of Iranians will take to the streets. It will be crucial that the Israeli Air Force will be there in that moment to provide them with the cover needed before they can seize enough weapons to arm themselves and send the Mullahs packing.
