From the Starlink messages I have gotten, the people inside Iran have reached a point of acceptance.

Meaning, they know what the stakes are, and they have lost their fear of death. This will not simply die down like the regime expects. There's no going back anymore.

Iranians also fight with a level of expectation that outside help will arrive, and they understand the need to keep up the pressure no matter how impossible the odds. But the longer this takes, the bloodier it gets. If no intervention happens, or if the intervention is too weak, a regime inflicted bloodbath will follow.

If Donald J Trump wants to be a President of Peace, aiding in decapitating this rotten barbarian dictatorship fast will prevent far more bloodshed than having unarmed Iranians fight their way out of a slaughterhouse for who knows how long.

I repeat: The bloodshed which happens by allowing Khamenei to limp on will FAR outweigh the alternative.

This is the time. No more negotiating. No more deals. No more talks. No more Araghchi and Witkoff meetings.

The time is now.

Really disturbing Starlink message:

"I have news from someone in Dezful - the city is under siege by Hashd ash-Shaabi (Iraqi terrorist militia).

They are beastly mercenaries with covered faces who can’t understand Persian and only speak Arabic.

The whole city is on curfew and there's an atmosphere of terror and dread everywhere.

Snipers are positioned on taller buildings in the last few days, head shotting people at random.

They have no mercy and don’t discriminate between children, teenagers or the elderly.

Anyone leaving the house risks be shot by snipers or killed by mercenaries on the ground.

It’s very likely that the situation is similar in other cities in Khuzestan Province.

They are getting massacred in total silence (no news coverage) and isolation.

Please speak up for Dezful and other smaller cities."

I was listening to a retired U.S. Army officer's interview on the radio, and I wish I could have recorded it and shared it here.

In response to the question of what day and time we can expect this attack to occur, he said that this operation could be the most complex military operation in the history of the United States, in no way comparable to the previous attack on nuclear facilities or operations on Venezuelan soil, and that numerous factors must be carefully calculated and examined.

My takeaway was this:
1. The U.S. is certainly aware of Khamenei's exact location, but very likely, contrary to expectations, he has hidden in a place where a large population of the Iranian people serves as his human shield.
2. This operation must proceed in such a way that no harm comes to the lives or property of ordinary people.
3. It is not a ground operation but an air one, and this makes the situation far more complex.

All of us Iranians, this time alongside many people around the world, including Americans themselves! are waiting for the moment when the attack on the regime is announced, but friends, believe me, lashing out at the Trump team's accounts really doesn't move anything forward.

Americans on Twitter and elsewhere are saying to pray for the American soldiers in the upcoming operation, so that they return successfully and safely. It's better if we join them, thank them for standing with the freedom-loving people of Iran, and make them even more aware of the extent of Khamenei's crimes and the danger that the regime's continued existence poses—and has posed—to the global community.
