Iran's richest oil region demands end to Islamic regime.Khuzestan is Iran's most oil-rich and ethnically diverse province — and the Arabs there have finally had it up to here with the theocrats who run things in Tehran. Whoever they are today, that is. In a daring new statement, the Khuzestan Arab Tribes Assembly this week calling for "a free, democratic, and federal Iran," and that they "firmly believe that the Islamic Republic's system has violated the rights of the people of Iran." ... While Khuzestan borders Iraq and is roughly one-third Arab, the assembly called the province the "beating heart of Iran" and emphasized "the protection of Iran's territorial integrity and reject any separatist or divisive project that harms the homeland of Iran." "We see ourselves in the transitional phase from the current repressive regime toward a free, democratic, and federal Iran. We can play a constructive role alongside other compatriots in building a prosperous and united Iran."

Quick war update from Tehran:
The IRGC held a meeting in a command center.
Israeli fighter jets RSVP’d.
Within seconds of identifying regime operatives inside the facility, the jets struck the building and eliminated everyone in it.
Problem solved.
Meanwhile dozens of Israeli aircraft conducted additional strike waves across Tehran and western Iran, hitting:
• IRGC Air Force command centers and situation rooms
• A command compound inside the IRGC’s Imam Hussein military university
• Ballistic missile storage and production facilities
• Sites used to target Israeli aircraft operating over Tehran
At the same time, Israel hit Internal Security and Basij bases along with a command center of the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence, the same organization responsible for spying on Iranian citizens and helping violently crush protests.
In other words:
The regime’s missile infrastructure, command network, and repression apparatus all took hits in the same round.
The campaign continues.
Tehran is learning that running a terror empire becomes difficult when your command centers keep disappearing.
Roar. 🦁 Onward and upward, airforce

Want to make an easy $10 million? The State Department just wants a little information... The State Department is offering a reward of up to $10 million for information that leads to locating 10 key regime leaders, including Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei.
Khamenei’s deputy chief of staff, Ali Asghar Hejazi, Iranian national security official Ali Larijani and Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni are also on the list.
"Got information on these Iranian terrorist leaders? Send us a tip. It could make you eligible for a reward and relocation," read the post on social media about the bounty. On second thought, $10 million seems a little chintzy to me. Onward and upward, airforce

What if those Marines take Kharg Island?U.S. Marines taking control of Kargh Island, from which Iran exports 90% of the oil products that dominate its economy, might not end the war altogether—there will still be outliers; Iran is a big place—but it would go a long way towards doing so.
It would virtually put the already-wobbling mullahs out of business and have myriad ramifications, from quickly lowering oil prices and inflation with it for the world, not to mention making Donald Trump a hero as we head into the November elections, thus driving the Democrats crazy.
No wonder many of them want Iran to win, covertly or overtly. For others, the self-described “liberals,” it must be more than a little disconcerting for them not to engage in full-throated condemnation of a regime led by sadistic misogynists who murder wounded protestors in their hospital beds. Supporting freedom was always their self-image.
Be that as it may, at this moment it looks as if it is full steam ahead, figuratively and literally, for the invasion of Kargh. The U.. S. force, featuring the USS Tripoli, left Japan March 14 and should reach the island by late March, just before President Trump is scheduled to meet with President Xi in Beijing. A squadron of F-35B Lightning IIs that are capable of vertical takeoffs will doubtless be in the vicinity sooner.
Having already been softened up by what was apparently a formidable bombing attack on their Kargh military defenses, it will be difficult for the Iranians, specifically the Revolutionary Guard Corps, which now seems fully in charge, to repel the Americans. This will be even more true in two weeks as the U. S> and Israel appear to have total air superiority.
In the meantime, be prepared for all kinds of carping from the media and Democratic politicians, complaints that Trump is running an ad hoc war (is there any other kind?) or that he doesn’t have an endgame.
Oh, really? It would seem that taking over Iranian oil from the mullahs would be one helluva endgame because they would have no money to build nukes or much of anything else. Their own people might even rise up against them, although Mr. Trump seems to be a little skeptical about that, and with reason. Too many of the bravest of the brave, those willing to risk their lives to overthrow the sadistic theocracy, could have been shot, maimed, or have fled the country years ago. I met many of these people twenty years ago while running PJ Media in Los Angeles.
Still, there’s hope. Stay optimistic. Stay positive. Never quit. Never give up. We’re on God’s team.... Onward and upward, airforce

I'm seeing more and more reports of defections from the regime's military, even from the IRGC. But it's impossible to verify, there are many propaganda posts on all sides. IRGC Defection Wave Grows
Reports of desertions within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Iranian police are mounting. A source close to the IRGC told senior Iran analyst Dror Balazada @DBalazada
that the trend is expanding beyond isolated cases.
According to the source, defections are now being recorded in larger numbers in Isfahan and Tabriz, and not only among lower ranks.
Why the surge in exits?
Field units report a breakdown in communication with command centers in Tehran.
Many personnel feel they are being used as human shields while senior commanders remain sheltered underground.
Severe economic hardship: a cash shortage in Iran is leaving security members struggling to pay bills or even buy food.
The source warns that the growing unrest inside the security apparatus could signal deeper cracks within the Iranian regime. 🔥
