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.
Onward and upward,
