I think we might.  Plans might be in place.

There are three sides in Iran.  The Mullahs, the supporters of the Shah and the no-kings crowd.  I hope the latter two can get together and kick the Mullahs out, which is more likely now than I have seen in the past uprisings.

If Khamenei ends up in Russia, I'm pretty sure Isreal will reach out and touch him there...

During the Iranian Revolution, Israel, United States, and Soviet Union were 'Satans'.

Ayatollah can also cause problems inside Russia and former Soviet Republics.

Russia would be more pre-disposed to invade Iran for their oil and their warm water ports.

Russia and Britain tussled over 'spheres of influence' inside Iran, back in the day.

Where in the world can a Shi'a agitator find refuge?  The only other country with a sizable Shi'a population is Iraq.

Sunni fundamentalists consider Shi's Islam blasphemous.

There's always Switzerland, so long as he brings a few tons of gold with him.

I'm actually amazed he isn't room temp already.  With all that is going on in Iran, amongst all the confusion, It would be the perfect time to off him.  Doubt there would be much blowback outside of our Jew hating muzzie lovers in congress and US mayors.

Iranian protesters rename Tehran street after Trump, plead 'don't let them kill us' amid crackdown
Human rights group says at least 34 demonstrators have been killed since the beginning of the protests
 By Efrat Lachter Fox News
Published January 7, 2026 10:47am EST

Iranian protesters intensified nationwide demonstrations over the past 24 hours, directly appealing to President Donald Trump while chanting anti-regime slogans. Footage published Wednesday showed a protester in Tehran symbolically renaming a street after Trump, while other videos captured handwritten appeals reading, "Don’t let them kill us," Iran International reported.

Holly Dagres, a senior fellow at the Washington Institute, posted the video on X stating, "Since Trump's comments about the Iran protests, I've seen numbers videos of Iranian protesters either thanking him or, in this case, renaming streets after the US president."

The appeals came as demonstrators faced a widening security crackdown, including the deployment of armed units and tear gas near major civilian sites in Tehran.

Wow!  History happens abruptly.

Indeed!  Was generally becoming politically awakened during the period when the Shah fled the country.

The 'boy' prince is now 65 years old.

I hope the 'new and improved' Iran will be totally "Cleric-Free".  Oh...and that they lose the burka!   :smokin:

Iran will never change, it will always be "hate Israel" first and foremost. Just like the Palestinians. It may change underwear here, but it will revert back in a few months/years.

I was living and working less than 300 miles from Iran at the time. Spent several weekends in Isfahan.

Security forces blocked blood donations, seized wounded protesters - paper
Jan 7, 2026, 12:48 GMT
 
An Iranian newspaper reported that security forces blocked blood donations and took wounded protesters from a hospital after opening fire on demonstrations in the western town of Malekshahi, a rare domestic account of alleged abuses that has drawn condemnation from rights groups.

The reformist daily Ham-Mihan said on Wednesday, citing eyewitnesses, that security forces shot at demonstrators protesting in Malekshahi, near the Iraqi border, and later entered Imam Khomeini Hospital in the provincial capital Ilam, where injured protesters had been taken for treatment.

According to the newspaper, security forces prevented people from donating blood for the wounded and removed some injured protesters from the hospital without allowing them to receive medical care.

I worked with a Persian for a few years.  He was a good man who escaped after the Islamic Revolution with his mother.  They were helped by his Uncle, who was a Mullah.  Not all Mullahs are bad!
