He said there are a number of power centers within the Iranian system, all of which could take over if one is wiped out. The system was deliberately structured in that manner as a defensive precaution, hydra in nature. So even if all the mullahs were eliminated, the power, the governing.decision-making processes would switch to another power center. Khamenei's assassination does not guarantee a better, more reasonable governance. In fact, the word is that Agent Orange was warned by military and intelligence personnel that taking out Khamenei could easily result in a worse outcome--a more hardline, more vengeful and violent replacement.

The really disgusting part of this gambit is calling on the Iranian population to "take over their government" shortly after 10 to 30,000 were slaughtered by Iran's enforcement arm, the Basij. Those intelligence forces are still intact and on the ground ready to mow down any and all resistance.

This was NOT a well-thought out plan. Epic Fury has been renamed Epstein Fury.

Sadly, that fits.

Trump may try to temporarily paper-over or deflect from his depraved past but Epstein will haunt him forever.
