It’s a day ending in “Y,” so Iran must once more have its mouth writing checks its butt can’t cash. The mouthpiece in this particular instance is ostensibly the new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the old Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, who last month was disassembled by American explosives. The new Khamenei’s threat was issued, not in person, not even by voice, but over an online Telegram account.
A gravely injured Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei issued a chilling message on Saturday amidst an uneasy truce with Israel, threatening that “Iran’s navy is ready to inflict new bitter defeats on enemies.”
The Iranian Armed Forces Day message comes from the newly minted Ayatollah who has not been seen since he took control of the regime after being maimed and losing a leg in the Feb. 28 US-Israeli airstrike that killed his father, Ali Khamenei.
Now, despite Iran negotiating a truce with Israel, the absentee Ayatollah is threatening to flex Iran’s heavily depleted military.
“Just as Iran’s drones strike like lightning against the US and Zionist criminals, Israel, the brave navy is also prepared to inflict new bitter defeat on enemies,” a post from Khamanei’s Telegram account read.
Telegram is an instant-messaging and social media application, amenable to encryption. Khamenei the Younger is using it to issue his threats.
That is, if it’s actually him. The new Supreme Leader hasn’t been seen since the opening day of Operation “Tear Iran a New One,” when he was reportedly seriously injured in the raid that reduced his father to ambient temperature. As far as I can tell, his voice hasn’t been heard. So, how do we know these messages are really from him?
Well, we don’t.
As for Iran’s brave navy, well, if being food for crabs on the bottom of the ocean constitutes bravery, then Iran’s navy is brave indeed. Even the recent pride of the Iranian Navy, the drone carrier Martyr Hassan Bagheri, is now trying to pull off a very bad impression of a submarine.
The Supreme Leader, to paraphrase a great American movie hero, ain’t leading anything but Jack and Schiff – and Jack left town. He’s not really in charge. In fact, nobody outside Iran is even sure if he’s alive, or what he’s doing. He’s said not to be in charge of Iran.
“Mojtaba Khamenei is being treated in [the Iranian city of] Qom in a severe condition, unable to be involved in any decision-making by the regime,” read a diplomatic memo, which The Times said is based on US-Israeli intelligence and shared with their Gulf allies.
So, why would he be issuing threats on social media – in writing? There’s one obvious reason: Like his late, unlamented father, Mojtaba Khamenei has finally had his birth certificate permanently revoked. And, as reports would have it, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is in charge.
Those are bad people. They’re also the people we’ve been hunting down. They are a problem, and as we all know, there is no problem that cannot be resolved with a suitable application of high explosives.

The more Iran issues these threats, the sillier they look. Every airplane in their air force has been disassembled and scattered over a wide area by American and Israeli high explosives. Most of their army is gone. Their navy is in Davy Jones’ locker. Their military senior staff and headquarters complexes and their top generals have been hunted down and, one by one, un-alived.
It would be hilarious at this point, when Iran issues yet another spittle-flecked threat, to see President Trump simply say, “Oh, yeah? You and what army?”
Editor’s Note: For decades, former presidents have been all talk and no action. Now, Donald Trump is eliminating the threat from Iran once and for all.
