Inside Israel’s plan to kill Ayatollah Khamenei

A network of operatives infiltrated the dictator’s inner circle. After months of watching and listening, Mossad jammed his bodyguards’ phones and the jets struck

The meeting between Iran’s supreme leader and some 40 officials took place every Saturday morning at Ali Khamenei’s office and principal residence in Tehran. It gave Israel an hour-long window to close in for the kill before he returned to one of his two bunkers deep beneath the ground.

At about 6am on Saturday — a symbolic day and time as this was when Hamas launched its October 7 attack — Israel enacted a plan that was years in the making. It was made possible by a network of intelligence officials that built a near-omnipresent picture of where the 86-year-old was and who he was with at all times.

From rupture to rapture: The curious case of Carney’s endorsement of Trump’s war

In a move that surprised observers at home and abroad, Prime Minister Mark Carney issued this weekend an unqualified endorsement of U.S. President Donald Trump’s military attack on Iran. For a leader who has cultivated an image of sober, multilateral statesmanship, Carney’s decision to break with Europe—and with his own recently articulated foreign policy doctrine of middle power cooperation—begs the question of what exactly is Canada’s foreign policy almost one year into his premiership.

Paints a portrait of a very cynical Carney.

Iran’s Long Arm: Sleeper Cells, Criminal Proxies, and the Asymmetric Threat Already Inside North America

Qasem Soleimani: US kills top Iranian general in Baghdad air strike

WASHINGTON / OTTAWA — Even as kinetic strikes against Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure have devastated the Islamic Republic’s conventional capabilities, a more shadowy threat remains intact and potentially primed for reactivation: a web of Iran-backed sleeper cells, proxy militias, and criminal mercenary networks already embedded inside North America — networks that have demonstrated the operational capacity to commit murder on American and Canadian soil.

“Starmer is No Churchill”: Trump Ramps Up Attack on PM

Donald Trump tonight launched an extraordinary attack on Sir Keir Starmer, saying: ‘This is not Winston Churchill we are dealing with.’

The US President delivered a withering verdict on the Prime Minister as he continued to fume at Sir Keir for failing to back US and Israeli strikes on Iran.

In comments that immediately plunged the so-called ‘special relationship’ into an unprecedented crisis, Mr Trump declared that he was ‘not happy’ with the PM and accused him of being ‘very, very uncooperative’.

Spain is on the outs …

How Trump assassination attempts played into his decision to attack Iran

President Donald Trump for the first time acknowledged a personal dimension to his decision to attack Iran, citing the country’s efforts to assassinate him in 2024 as a factor in ordering the joint U.S.-Israeli operation that killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

“I got him before he got me,” Trump said in an interview on Sunday night with ABC News. “I got him first.”

Did Carney go too far in offering ‘support’ for U.S. strikes against Iran?

Every prime minister is called upon, at one point or another, to comment on the actions of an American president. For Mark Carney, still less than a year on the job, there have already been several such moments.

The latest moment of necessity arrived this past weekend, when the United States and Israel launched new attacks on Iran.

The response, a six-paragraph statement in the names of Carney and Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand, has raised questions with which the prime minister may have to wrestle.

Oh yes CBC Carney was far too harsh on the murderous Mullah regime!

Contempt for Donald Trump aside, this war may give Iranians a shot at freedom

Iran will wage retaliatory war until the last cruise and ballistic missile is expended, the last Shahab, Fattah, Sejjil, Soumar. The last explosive-packed suicide drone. The last Revolutionary Guard soldier still standing. The last slain protester.

And if Iran had a nuclear bomb, there’s little reason to believe that, facing annihilation of the theocratic regime, it wouldn’t have pushed that launch button as well.

UN Weeps on Cue While Tehran Writes the Script

As smoke lies over Minab, Iran, a girls’ school lies shattered; bodies line the pavement. Before the dust settles, familiar voices declare guilt: America and Israel did it. Case closed.

The Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ elementary school in Minab was hit by a direct strike during ongoing military exchanges. Iranian officials announced a rising death toll, with numbers climbing past 140 and up to 165 lives lost. Health ministry figures quickly spread across global platforms. Tehran blamed joint U.S. and Israeli operations within hours.

Why Europe’s leaders have struggled to speak as one on Iran

Europe knew this may be coming. For weeks, leaders and policy makers watched the US military build-up in the Middle East. They heard the threats of the Trump administration to Tehran: Give up all nuclear aspirations – or else!

But since the US-Israeli attack started on Iran three days ago, this continent has looked at best uncoordinated, if not fractured and decidedly without leverage, caught up in the maelstrom of events.

Each European country is understandably angsting about its citizens in the region – whether and how they may need to evacuate what would be tens of thousands of people in total.

They fear the Muslims they have allowed to settle.

CAUTION: Splodey Mullahs Ahead

Israeli forces “flattened” a building where Iran’s 88-member Assembly of Experts had gathered to select the regime’s next supreme leader, according to Israeli officials and regional reports.

An hour ago, the building of the Assembly of Experts in Qom was reportedly destroyed in an airstrike.
Sources say the session to choose Iran’s next leader had been moved there after the main building in Tehran was previously targeted.

Khamenei’s Unforced Errors Proved Fatal

Iran had failed on every front, but its supreme leader kept bluffing. He didn’t fool Trump.

This is the ayatollah’s war. Now as in June, the pileup of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s mistakes served President Trump a strategic opportunity too inviting to pass up. On Saturday, Khamenei paid with his life.

The proximate error came during negotiations, in which Iran all but announced it still wants to pursue nuclear weapons. What else was Mr. Trump supposed to conclude from Iran’s evasions?

No more domestic enrichment of uranium for nuclear fuel, the president said. This was hardly unreasonable; 23 nations operate nuclear power programs by importing enriched uranium. U.S. negotiators even offered to provide Iran the fuel free of charge, a senior administration official said Saturday. Iran balked. Despite vast oil reserves, Iran claimed to need nuclear power and its own enrichment program. For this, it would risk everything.

Iran Attack Thread

How will the war in Iran end? The scenarios explained

President Trump has threatened to send troops into Iran, raising the prospect of a full-blown regime change operation such as that which the US carried out in Iraq, and which he had previously promised to avoid.

Trump has sent conflicting messages since the start of the joint US-Israeli operation against Iran on Saturday morning, at times suggesting it could last just a few days and at others saying he is prepared to continue bombing for four or five weeks or even longer. His interview with the New York Post on Monday was the first time he had raised the possibility of “boots on the ground”.

BREAKING – Democrats are now marching through the streets of NYC carrying signs mourning Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, while chanting “globalize the intifada” and encouraging Muslims to rise up against the West.

What Iran means for Putin

Multipolarity is a disaster for Russia

As the Middle East lurches toward wider war, Vladimir Putin finds himself confronted by the terrifying reality of the world he has always demanded. For a quarter of a century, the Russian president has been demanding a “multipolar world order”, one that would overturn the hypocritical liberal consensus. Now, that order might have arrived, but the system taking shape is not creating a stronger Russia. Instead, it reveals an increasingly isolated and weakened state — one that, if the history of Putin’s rule is anything to go by, might see the Kremlin turn toward even further domestic repression and foreign confrontation.
