The IDF Spokesperson’s unit announced on Sunday that the IAF’s elimination of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Tehran a day earlier constitutes the culmination of a sustained effort to eliminate the senior leadership of the Iranian terror axis throughout the ‘War of Revival’. Among the other leaders to be eliminated: * Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Hezbollah terrorist organization, together with the majority of Hezbollah’s senior leadership * Yahya Sinwar, the leader of the Hamas terrorist organization * Mohammed Deif, the Commander of Hamas’ Military Wing, as well as the majority of Hamas’ Military Wing’s leadership * Muhammad al-Ghamari, Chief of General Staff of the Houthi terror regime * A series of senior commanders in the Iranian defense leadership, including Gholam Ali Rashid, commander of Khatam-al Anbiya Central Headquarters, Mohammad Bagheri, the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, and Hossein Salami, the commander of the IRGC, and additional officials. With this last strike, the IDF has eliminated the senior leadership of the Iranian terror axis in multiple regions.
Purim Primed: Khamenei Dead on Shabbat Zachor, Iranians Rejoice
Iranian state media confirmed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s death in the opening minutes of joint US-Israel strikes on his Tehran compound during Shabbat Zachor. This is the special Sabbath of remembrance immediately before Purim. An Israeli official told Reuters the body was recovered from rubble after approximately thirty bombs struck the site. Satellite imagery from Airbus revealed the fortified residence was largely destroyed. The strikes struck precisely on Shabbat Zachor. On this day synagogues read Deuteronomy 25:17-19. This passage commands remembrance of Amalek’s unprovoked attack and the obligation to blot out Amalek’s memory from under heaven.

Petition to cardinals: Can’t we consider the possibility that Francis and Leo are anti-popes?
There is a clear and definite break in the papal line after Pope Benedict XVI. Whereas previous popes may have led grievously sinful lives, they didn’t alter Church teaching in official documents. With Francis all that changed. Let’s ignore the Pachamama idolatry of Francis and Leo’s allowance of the LGBT pilgrimage into St. Peter’s Basilica – which Bishop Schneider saw as the abomination of desolation entering the Holy Place, which Christ mentioned as a sign of the end times in Matthew 24. Let’s ignore Francis saying all religions are pathways to God and Leo telling the Anglicans with their homosexual clergy and their female archbishops, “We are already one.” Are we now to believe, as the revised Catechism under Francis teaches, that “the death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person”? Believe that even when it flatly contradicts the witness of Sacred Scripture

Regime continuity or opposition leaders: Who will lead Iran after Ayatollah Khamenei’s death?
After almost half a century at the helm of the Islamic regime in Iran, including 36 years as the Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei was killed by an Israeli airstrike on February 28, 2026. Several potential successors were eliminated as well. The situation is still highly fluid but essentially boils down to two questions: Who will be the next leader of the Islamic Republic; and will its regime even survive?
The Collapse of Iran’s Regime May Mark the End of Syria’s Role as an ‘Open Arena for Conflict’
Amid the unprecedented military escalation between Israel and the United States on one side and Iran on the other, attention is increasingly turning to Syria, long one of the arenas most shaped by Iranian influence. Today, however, the picture looks markedly different from previous years of war.

Arab affairs analyst : After two days of strikes, Iran is stuttering
“We are approaching the point where Israel and the US, or each one separately, must consider telling the Iranian public: ‘We control the sky above Tehran.

The new leadership, led by Ali Larijani and Abbas Araghchi, explains that they are no longer attempting to expand the war to a regional one, there is no threat to close the Straight of Hormuz, we will stop the attacks on the Arab states,

Khamenei killing shatters Iran’s order, triggers high-stakes succession race
Despite the shock of Khamenei’s killing, five regional officials and analysts cautioned against assuming rapid collapse. Iran’s political order, they said, was deliberately constructed to avoid reliance on a single leader, dispersing authority across clerical institutions, the security apparatus and power networks. The balance of power now hinges on whether the Guards emerge weakened by battlefield losses and internal frictions – or more entrenched, closing ranks around a harder, more security-driven approach to governance. “The real question is whether Khamenei’s death takes the air out of the IRGC – the force that actually runs Iran – or whether they close ranks and harden,”
The Microreactor Race Is On
For the past half century, successive Presidential administrations and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission have thwarted the development of advanced reactor designs that might fulfill President Eisenhower’s vision for the “peaceful uses of atomic energy.” That all changed last May, when President Trump issued four executive orders aimed at reinvigorating the U.S. nuclear energy industry.
Nine months later, multiple private companies are racing to become the first to bring their advanced design reactors to market, and several are already moving toward pilot plants in conjunction with governmental or academic institutions and funding.
Iran Blowback: At Least 22 Killed Trying To Storm US Consulate In Pakistan
Security forces reportedly opened fire to scatter the protesters as they tried to breach the US compound.
