They're trying to goad him to come out publicly in order to geo-locate him.

Clever girl.

When Trump bombed them then.

They lie.

from the top on down.

“Polo!”

“Smile, wait for the flash!”

Age old tactic.

Shave and a haircut works too.

Pretty sure their supreme leader's dick wasn't bitten off

Khamenei Jr. is injured from the bombing of his Dad's compound. He's yet to appear on camera.

Is he actually alive? TBD.

According to state media he's OK and his injuries were not severe.

But, you know, State Media.

It's embarrassing. He's out there talking like he's promoting a wrestling match. I'm not sure what audience that is for, but people can see through it.

Corporate media is currently largely aiding the Islamic Republic regime, not really intentionally, but because the corporate media is lazy, cowardly, incompetent and ratings starved. So, you'll get the "if it bleeds it leads stuff" from them, the war cost figures (easy to obtain from keyboards and phones). You'll get lots of "people have raised questions about xyz" type stuff. Talking heads talking constantly. Idiot questions from the press corps will be thrown out insisting on the public's "right to know" where the next attacks will be, which weapons will be used, when they will happen, and when it will all stop. Just stupid stuff like that.

Hegseth, and probably everyone else, including Trump, are probably playing the media too. They know the media will play up anything that is said, probably put a negative, outraged, or skeptical tone on it, and blast it out. So, this latest from Hegseth is part of that.

It's really pretty grotesque. It's hard to find decent reporting outside paywalls, imo. Even inside.

AI makes reality so complicated.

Many are claiming it’s not really Netanyahu on tv but an AI of Netanyahu -comparing his teeth, fingers, nostrils or lack of.

Grok keeps saying it is Netanyahu but now hundreds of sites posting it’s an AI Netanyahu.

Welcome to 2026 - it’s a whole different world with AI. I have no opinion if he’s ill, dead or alive - just posting what’s online and how complex figuring out reality has become.

He’ll be lauded for his suffering along with his people.

Kegseth is coming from his own vanity, thinking this has inflicted some kind of tragedy for Khameini.

In reality the Supreme Leader will wear those scars defiantly and proudly
