With the arrest of the president of Venezuela and assassination of the head of Iran, it seems like Trump is violating a traditional avoidance of assassination of leaders. Iran is a pretty capable country. I wonder whether this could backfire. While I'm not sure Venezuela has much of a secret miliary presence in the US, it seems within the capability of Iran to target US leadership.

We may indeed see a new regime.
The Iranian regime is bigger than Khamenei and simply killing him isn't going to lead to regime change.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched a plot to kill Trump before the presidential election. It's not something the major media likes to mention. Right now there are a number of people in the radical Islam/hard left alliance that encourage violence against Trump and those who support him.

Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead. This is not only Justice for the people of Iran, but for all Great Americans, and those people from many Countries throughout the World, that have been killed or mutilated by Khamenei and his gang of bloodthirsty THUGS,” the president announced in a Truth Social post. . .
“This is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their Country. We are hearing that many of their IRGC, Military, and other Security and Police Forces, no longer want to fight, and are looking for Immunity from us. As I said last night, ‘Now they can have Immunity, later they only get Death!’ Hopefully, the IRGC and Police will peacefully merge with the Iranian Patriots, and work together as a unit to bring back the Country to the Greatness it deserves,” the president’s statement continued.

Truly an opportunity to change the world.

This would be like killing King Charles and the Archbishop of Canterburry, it's not going to do anything to topple the regime, but it will conveniently fit the Shia establishment's martyr narrative that they are being purified by suffering.

Amazing that the attack could be so successful. I am sure it makes Russia and China pause.

Hopefully.

I saw videos from Iran, after news came out of their religious leader. It was kinda eerie hearing cheers breaking across Tehran. Another showed thousands of people out in the streets celebrating.

It really is impressive. The agents are fearless. To be in Iran, knowing what will happen should you be discovered.
Rahab would be proud.
