Some thoughts:
The meeting of the Supreme Leader and the 40 officials that were martyred was bait. They knew beyond any doubt that if they gathered all those juicy targets in one place the fascists wouldn't be able to contain themselves. You dread going to a family dinner because creepy uncle steve might be there. Wouldn't these high ranking officials not expect uncle sam to show up to this meeting? There is no way they went to that meeting without knowing exactly what they were doing. Anyone who thinks it was a "mistake" is racist or just stupid.
Iran is fighting this war like Bruce Lee. They waited until they were surrounded, tricked the enemy into making the first move, and whaaaapah! ooooo Yeeeah! hoop hoop whoo whipah! They smacked every single one of the surrounding enemies with their nunchuks with blinding speed.














They are so panicked. They are fraying at the edges. Israel is talking about the samson option because it is going so badly.
