Trump says he bombed Iran

DOW has been open 45 minutes and it's down 1200 points already.
It's now 3,000 points off it's high just two weeks ago.

Pamela Bondi's apt to be rather miffed on that score. 

There goes her blanket excuse for just about anything...

Israel took out 49 of Irans top people, as well as successors to the Ayatollah.
Now Iran was having a meeting about who to replace him with ... and 
Israel hit that meeting as well.    They are really chopping off the head of the snake.

sraeli forces struck an Iranian Supreme Council gathering on Tuesday as the group was meeting to choose a successor to the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a senior Israeli official told Fox News.

 
Fox News' Trey Yingst reported the update on live on Fox on Tuesday morning, saying the move "speaks to the Israeli intelligence about this war."

 
"They just targeted the meeting in Tehran where what's left of the leadership was gathering to choose a new Supreme Leader," Yingst said.

 
The U.S. and Israel killed 49 of Iran's most senior leaders in the opening salvo of Operation Epic Fury on Saturday morning, leaving Iran's military fractured and leaderless.

That's probably why they have missiles flying off in all directions.
 
When you take out the top of the command structure and a multitude of underlings.

There is not really anybody left to rein in or direct the carnage.

It's like shooting the music maestro, and wondering why the orchestra plays out of tune.

As to replacements, who knows, my bet is he will be worse, it thats at all possible...

Donald Trump has told Iran's surviving leaders it's 'too late' to talk as US and Israeli airstrikes obliterated a building in Tehran where the new Iranian leader would be be picked.

 Writing on his Truth Social account, the President said: 'Their air defense, Air Force, Navy, and Leadership is gone. They want to talk. I said “Too Late!'

 
His remarks come as Israeli and US strikes targeted a meeting of senior Iranian clerics tasked with choosing the next supreme leader to succeed Ayatollah Khamenei following his death on Saturday.

That's what Iran leadership wants.   
I posted a link a bunch of pages back.
A hardcore Khomeni mini-me radical cleric is who they want.
I forgot the name.
Maybe he got blown up in this strike that I just posted about.
(hopefully).

The only way this could have worked is if the Iranian people removed or executed the ayatollah of their own volition. 

I can only imagine what this may serve to bring about.

Because it won't be stability or peace.

Cutting the head of the snake is one thing, but with that mob, it's like a Hydra.

Cut off one head, and two more grow back.

#BREAKING: PUK confirms that its leader Bafel Talabani has spoken by phone with US President Donald Trump - Statement

• The post reports a confirmed phone call between Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) leader Bafel Talabani and U.S. President Donald Trump, occurring amid escalating U.S.-Iran tensions that began in early March 2026, as verified by multiple outlets including Axios and IranWire.
  
• Bafel Talabani, son of late Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, leads the PUK, a major Kurdish party controlling key oil-rich areas in northern Iraq, positioning the call as a potential signal of U.S. support for Kurdish interests against Iranian influence.
  
• Similar outreach to Kurdistan Democratic Party leader Masoud Barzani, reportedly urged by Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, underscores Trump's strategy to rally regional allies in the ongoing Iran conflict, which has displaced thousands and disrupted global energy supplies per recent UN data.

True.
So what kills a hydra?
I don't remember my mythology.
Hitting it in the heart?
That would equate to killing what the Iranians believe.
So they change what they themselves want.
