Am I the only one that thinks it’s strange that the US hasn’t attacked Mojtaba Khamenei? I thought that they were threatening to remove any leader previously associated with the regime.

Am I missing something?

    The guys probably sitting in the deepest bunker they have right now, give it time.

    It took six months to track and select the optimal time and place to attack. These things take a while.

    What they are saying ≠ what they are doing. I’m my book, this is a half-assed, poorly thought through, unadvised military campaign. Trying to grasp it with logic is as useless as an ashtray on a motorbike.

    After 9/11 W was flown around a long time in Air Force One to keep him secure. After just having their old dear leader blown up, it’s highly likely they have stepped up security on junior. So junior will be moved around or hidden in bunkers and caves or moved around between various bunkers and caves, thus making a hit harder.

    I’m sure they walk around in public all the time after we just killed their father…

    I don’t believe the US knows his location. Mojtaba hasn’t been seen publicly since he was appointed.

    Ali was (according to current public information) only successfully targeted due to CIA assets inside Iran tracking him and confirming a time where he would be in a building vulnerable to a strike.

    I saw a headline the other day that his “base” was attacked, so I think they are trying to kill him.

    It’s possible either the US or Israel had some extremely timely intelligence on the location of the old leader, and the new one is just being more careful…

    It’s not strange, the Israeli government hasn’t ordered Trump to do it.

      Blocked. I don’t have time for your shit.

      I never said I agreed with the logic at all, I’m simply dumbfounded that they easily killed one leader but haven’t done anything about the next.
