If true then things could get even messier with the potential power vacuum. Really hope this is the end of the regime but who knows.

yeah the Israelis killing Iranian head of state is really going to calm things down

It's Australian Grand Prix next weekend, not Bahrain Grand Prix. Bahrain Gp is early April

So it is. Turns out I was looking at the 2024 Calendar where Bahrain was first

Trump "confirming" Khamenei is dead. Part of me hopes it's true, part of me hopes the old bastard pops up on TV later tonight...

Putin has apparently described the death of Khamenei as
"cynical murder that violated all norms of human morality and international law."

I mean talk about pots and kettles

The big concern is now is - how do we get repatriation flights in and out of the region for Brits stuck there which include I believe the England cricket team without them becoming targets for attacks? something tells me Starmer overlooked it and saw it as a contingency that wasn't needed and he probably thought Iran wouldn't hit other countries with missiles in retaliation. Do we know how the US personnel were killed yet? Starmer now needs to rein in the Orang utang before it does any messier.

Thing is he probably has a double that was likely killed in that bombing, and the real bastard is hiding somewhere underground..
