On Saturday, after weeks of failed negotiations, the US and Israel unleashed ‘Operation Epic Fury’ on the wicked Iranian regime. The successful military strike took out the top officials of the Iranian regime, including:

  • Ali Khamenei (Supreme Leader).
  • Ali Shamkhani (Defense Council Secretary / senior advisor).
  • Mohammad Pakpour (IRGC commander).
  • Aziz Nasirzadeh (Defense Minister).
  • Abdolrahim Mousavi (Chief of General Staff / Armed Forces Chief of Staff).

There are reports that the coordinated hit took out 40 top level officials from the radical Islamic regime.

Three Americans were killed in retalitory strikes by Iran, five more are in serious condition.

Iran quickly installed Ayatollah Arafi as their new Islamic ruler. And Arafi is already shooting off his mouth.

Arafi was appointed today to Iran’s 3-member interim leadership council alongside the president and chief justice.

The rumblings that Arafi was killed in a strike have not been confirmed.

In 2019 Arafi led the crowd chanting, “Death to America, Death to England!”

The acting Supreme Leader of Iran is now Ayatollah Alireza Arafi.

Here’s him in 2019 leading the crowd chanting “Death to America, Death to England, Death to the hypocrites and the infidels, Death to Israel.”
