					<description><![CDATA[@ Art Deco &#062; &quot;Don’t know there’s much to be gained by taking him out.&quot;

Agreed. And I suspect Israel has much the same opinion.
However, even if he dies of totally natural causes, Iran will blame the Jews.
What comes after Khamenei is something I don&#039;t have the knowledge to predict, but one of the distinct problems of letting the Old Guard become superannuated is that an easy succession is next to impossible (see our own octogenarian politicos).
There is something to be said for a stable monarchical hierarchy, if you don&#039;t have legitimate elections.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ayatollah Khamenei has a life expectancy of about five years and is in an age range where dementia is common.  He also has no ready successor as the current President of Iran was never a cleric.  Hamas has been all but liquidated as a military force and Hezbollah has been decapitated.  His principal ally among states in the region has long been Syria, which is now a wreck.  Don&#039;t know there&#039;s much to be gained by taking him out.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[@ John Galt III &#062; So the big question is: 
“Hey, Ayatollah Khamenei, are you getting just a teeny bit worried?”

Thanks for linking that comprehensive list - 16 to date, including Sinwar.
As for the Supreme Leader: I don&#039;t think Israel will target him, as that would actually tend to unite the Iranian public more than separate it.
However, getting closer and closer would energize the opposition to the Islamicist tyrants, and keep all of them spooked (literally and figuratively -- they must all be looking at each other and wondering who are Mossad spies).

And in honor of those who are fighting with the Israelis instead of against them, similarly to the Germans trying to oust Hitler despite continued unfortunate failures, is this where we get to say, &quot;One man&#039;s terrorist is another man&#039;s freedom fighter?&quot;

					<description><![CDATA[Here’s a list of Hamas and Hezbollah leaders who have been killed in the ongoing war

1. Yahya Sinwar: Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed by Israeli forces in Gaza. He was driven by his deep antipathy towards the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories and deep commitment to the Islamist ideology of Hamas.

2. Hassan Nasrallah: Lebanon’s Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, whom Israel said on September 28, 2024, it has killed, led Hezbollah through decades of conflict with Israel, overseeing its transformation into a military force with regional sway and becoming one of the most prominent Arab figures in generations — with Iranian backing.

3. Fatah Sharif: The Israeli Army said on September 30, 2024 that its forces “eliminated” Hamas’ leader Sharif in Lebanon, as it continued to target Iran-backed militant groups in the neighbouring country.

4. Ali Karaki: One of Hezbollah’s top commanders, Ali Karaki was killed in the airstrike that assassinated Nasrallah. The Israeli military said more than 20 militants of varying ranks were killed in the strike on a underground bunker.

many, many more here:

					<description><![CDATA[More on the Sinwar &#038; his bodyguard with UNRWA identification card:

https://redstate.com/margaret-clark/2024/10/17/shocking-discovery-made-on-hamas-leader-yahya-sinwars-bodyguard-after-elimination-n2180734

Kate&#039;s link says &quot;After the IDF confirmed the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, several alleged photos of the site of death, including a photo of his body surfaced. One of the widely circulated photos in the aftermath of his death was the one where along with the passport, there was some money, a few Islamic texts, a pack of Mentos and a watch. However, the authenticity of the photos is yet to be verified.&quot;

So, until the connection of the card to the bodyguard is established, maybe it&#039;s a false trail.
BUT everything else in the RS post is true, well-known, and demands action.
Disbanding the UNRWA and incarcerating all of its terrorist moonlighters would be a good start.]]></description>
