Protesters have torched the former house and current museum to the late Iranian leaders Khomeini’s birthplace house. It has been a museum for the last 30 years. Quite symbolic.

Iranian Republican guards have dropped a ballistic missile on the oppositions HQ.

Iran strikes in Iraq reported.
It is reported that American combat and reconnaissance aircraft are taking off from Al-Asad Air Base in Central Iraq. |
They have a wide variety of missiles to choose from, I wonder which ones they used this time.
Making a guess here: this strike into the Kurdish region of Iraq will be excused, in official rhetoric from Tehran, as being against whomever it is that is winding people up in protest against Iran and whomever set fire to Khomeni's house ... but that guess may be well clear of the mark. FWIW, they did something similar back in September |
Here we go again. Another Middle-East war.

The Turks launched airstrikes into Northern Iraq and Syria over the weekend. Looks like the Kurds are taking it in the shorts from two directions- Turkey and Iran.

Had to take courage knowing they’ll likely face repercussions. |
The big wars always come out of left field. I think the Middle East now poses more danger to the existing world order than the Russia Ukraine war.

Messages I’m getting from Iran:
“Tehran on verge of collapse. Leaked: Basij leader there has admitted the possibility of Tehran's fall tonight is extremely high and that the Presidential palace may be attacked. Khamenei & Raisi told to be transferred to a safe place ASAP.”…. |
Wow reports of Helicopters leaving from the palace and negotiations with Venezuela for asylum.

Khamenei’s sister denounces him.

https://english.alarabiya.net/News/m...pport-protests A sister of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has declared her opposition to her brother’s regime and called on military forces to join protesters “before it is too late,” according to a letter shared by her son on Wednesday. “I think it is appropriate now to declare that I oppose my brother’s actions and I express my sympathy with all mothers mourning the crimes of the Islamic Republic regime,” Badri Hosseini Khamenei, who lives in Iran, said in a letter shared on Twitter by her France-based son Mahmoud Moradkhani. |

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle...rm-2022-12-07/ On Tuesday, the elite force shared a statement calling on the judiciary to "not show mercy to rioters, thugs and terrorists", in a sign that the authorities have no intention of easing their fierce crackdown on dissent. Iran’s judiciary spokesman, Masoud Setayeshi, said on Tuesday that five people indicted in the killing of Basij militia member Rouhollah Ajamian were sentenced to death in a verdict which they can still appeal. The prisoner — identified by Mizan, the news site of the country’s judiciary, as Mohsen Shekari — was convicted of “waging war against God” on Nov. 20 and sentenced to death by Tehran’s Revolutionary Court, Mizan said. Authorities accused him of repeatedly attacking a paramilitary guard with a knife and of disturbing public order by blocking a thoroughfare in Iran’s capital, Tehran, during a protest in late September. “Iranian authorities have executed a protester, sentenced to death in show trials without any due process,” tweeted Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, director of the Norway-based group Iran Human Rights. His execution “must be [met] with STRONG reactions otherwise we will be facing daily executions of protesters,” Amiry-Moghaddam wrote. “This execution must have rapid practical consequences internationally.” |
