Iranian Intelligence Chief Who Plotted Trump's Assassination Confirmed Dead Due to Airstrike and Overdose of Amyl Nitrite and Disco Dancing but Mostly the Airstrike

The homophobes Trump and Netanyahu are murdering one Brown Homosexual after another.

Yes, verified. Israel's Defense Minister announced that Iranian Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib was killed in an overnight airstrike in Tehran. Iranian President Pezeshkian has since confirmed the death, calling it a "cowardly assassination." This is the third senior Iranian official killed in 48 hours per multiple reports (AP, BBC, Al Jazeera, Reuters).

So close to Pride Month? SO CLOSE TO PRIDE MONTH?!?!

By the way I don't know this guy was gay. I just assume that everyone in the Iranian leadership is (was) a closet case.

Let's see what Iran's current (for the nonce) President says:

Masoud Pezeshkian @drpezeshkian

Translated from Persian

The cowardly assassination of my dear colleagues Ismail Khatib, Ali Larijani, and Aziz Nasirzadeh, alongside some of their family members and accompanying team, has left us in deep mourning.

I extend my condolences to the great people of Iran for the martyrdom of two cabinet members, the secretary of the Shura, and the military and Basij commanders. I am certain their path will continue more steadfastly than before.

Sounds tough!

But then... there are reports he is desperate to resign because he doesn't want to be the next to be killed:

There are reports that Iran's President Pezeshkian tried to submit his resignation to the Supreme Leader today, but Mojtaba Khamenei is not available (he is likely dead).

Nobody is in charge of Iran.

The top 200 mullahs and IRGC leaders are dead.

SMOD linked this report. I have no idea how credible it is:

🚨 Iran's presidency has collapsed as its own president pleads not to be assassinated.

Masoud Pezeshkian is telling foreign counterparts he has no authority, no access to leadership, and no control over the system, effectively disavowing responsibility as the regime fractures from within.

According to Persian Gulf sources, he informed officials across the region, as well as Russia and Turkey, that the constitutional leadership structure has broken down and he is completely cut off from it, stressing there is no justification for targeting him.

Pezeshkian is trying to save his own life as the regime crumbles, a clear sign the Islamic Republic is losing control.

Yesterday a commenter reported that Iranian civilians were passing intel to Israel via Starlink, telling them where Basij troops were on the streets, so that they could be targeted for airstrikes.

Iranian civilians sent Israel intel to strike Basij checkpoints in Tehran - WSJ

The Wall Street Journal reported that Iranians on the ground have been transmitting information in Persian through Israeli social media accounts.

Israel has been relying in part on target information sent by ordinary Iranians for strikes carried out during the current war with Iran, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.

The report said this was the case on Wednesday night, when an Israeli Hermes UAV struck Basij checkpoints in Tehran, citing a senior Israeli security official.

The official said Iranians on the ground have been transmitting information in Persian through Israeli social media accounts. According to the report, the information is first verified and vetted by Israeli authorities, and action is taken only after it is found to be accurate.

Iranian state media reported on Wednesday evening that Israeli drones targeted checkpoints in Tehran, killing several members of Iran's security forces, including some affiliated with the Basij militia. Separate reports said several regime security personnel and Basij members were killed in the strikes.

If confirmed, the reported use of civilian-supplied intelligence would point to an additional layer in Israel's targeting apparatus inside Iran.

Thanks to Michael the Texan for that link.

Meanwhile, beckster sends this report:

Thought this was interesting, from Amit Segal's daily Substack Noon In Israel:

---------------------------
Meanwhile, Israel is calling mid- and low-level commanders, threatening them and their families if they don't stand aside in the event of an uprising.

One conversation is worth recounting.

"Can you hear me?" a Mossad agent can be heard, speaking in Farsi. "We know everything about you. You are on our blacklist, and we have all the information about you."

"OK," the commander said in the recording.

"I called to warn you in advance that you should stand with your people's side," the Mossad agent said. "And if you will not do that, your destiny will be as your leader. Do you hear me?"

"Brother, I swear on the Quran, I'm not your enemy," the commander said. "I'm a dead man already. Just please come help us."
