Death to Iran’s regime.
Last month, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei told an enraged crowd of Islamists that President Trump’s statements weren’t even “worthy of a response.”
As the crowd chanted “Death to America”, Iran’s leader called Trump a liar, and warned that, “America should leave the region, and leave it will.” Then he called for the destruction of the Jewish State while the crowd chanted, “Death to Israel.”
The only question was whether America and Israel would take the regime’s threats seriously.
That question was answered when Israel, after two decades of trying to get the mostly fictitious “international community” to do something about Iran’s nuclear program, finally took action.
The endless negotiations in pursuit of an impossible deal that would somehow allow Iran to have nuclear technology without nuclear weapons were based on refusing to listen to what the Islamist terror regime said, as recently as weeks ago, and refusing to believe that it meant it.
To believe in a nuclear deal, you also had to believe that a terror state that gets its electricity from its abundant natural gas resources for a fraction of the cost of our electricity wanted a civilian nuclear program. To believe in any kind of deal with Iran, you had to believe, as the New York Times insisted to sell Obama’s nuke deal, that Iran “has a complicated relationship with the phrase” and that when it says, “Death to America” and “Death to Israel”, it doesn’t really mean it.
“The situation between America and Iran is this: When you chant ‘Death to America!’ it is not just a slogan – it is a policy,” Ayatollah Khamenei explained in 2023.
What did that policy look like in practice?
“‘Death to America’ means death to Trump,” Khamenei previously warned.
Last year, an Iranian operative was charged in a plot by the IRGC, Iran’s terror arm, to assassinate Trump before Election Day. The “complicated relationship” wasn’t so complicated and it’s not a metaphor. “Death to Trump” literally meant trying to kill the president. “Death to America” means the destruction of America. And “Death to Israel” means just what it says.
Apologists for the Jihadist regime in Tehran try to pretend that it’s about our foreign policy, but beyond chanting for the destruction of America, Israel and England, the chants at the Khamenei speech included “Death to the hypocrites and infidels” (meaning the deaths of all non-Muslims and insufficiently devout Muslims) and death to those who oppose the supreme power of Sharia Islamic jurisprudence in the form of its Ayatollahs, Mullahs and other theocratic tyrants.
According to Ayatollah Khomeini anyone who did not believe that Mohammed, Islam’s genocidal warlord prophet was a messenger of Allah, is defined as an infidel, and the only thing to do is to convert him, enslave him or kill him. “If one permits an infidel to continue in his role as a corrupter of the earth, the infidel’s moral suffering will be all the worse. If one kills the infidel, and this stops him from perpetrating his misdeeds, his death will be a blessing to him.”
Opposing the Ayatollahs just made America one of the first ‘infidels’ in line for destruction.
Iran kidnapped our diplomats, bombed our Marines, abducted and tortured our people, brutally killing them in the most grotesque ways, because its regime believes in “Death to America.”
Not as a metaphor or a complicated relationship, but as violently graphic as the Muslim terrorists jumping up and down on the body of Navy diver Robert Stethem and then putting up a microphone to his face to broadcast the screams or removing the skin from the face of Colonel William R. Higgins before castrating, killing him and dumping his body near a mosque.
That’s ‘Death to America’.
The Israelis, who live much closer to Iran than we do, did not decide to escape into the extended Carter administration diplomatic dreamworlds about a deal with Iran. They understood that Iran was serious and they acted. Whatever we do or don’t do about Iran, we would be fools to pretend that the Islamic terrorist regime isn’t serious about wanting us dead.
And bigger fools to act like we can bribe or negotiate our way out of the threat.
Right now, Israel is doing our work for us in fighting Islamic terrorists. It’s doing it even though our elected officials keep sending mixed messages, undermining Israel, calling for restraint and pretending that the Middle East would be more stable if it were dominated by the terrorists.
Obama already tried that with the Arab Spring. It turned out the same way Carter’s Iran tampering and every experiment in nation building and democracy by the Bushes, Clinton and other administrations did. Instead of standing up to Muslim terrorists, we let ourselves be intimidated by them, by their sheer numbers, by their destructiveness and willingness to die.
But Israel, far smaller than us, a country tiny enough that you can walk its width, stood up to an entire region. Iran is 80 times Israel’s size, has 9 times its population and yet Israel did what so many of our administrations feared to do. Why? Because Israel understood what we deny.
Israel knew that the calls for genocide are real and that the alternative to action is death.
Faced with the threat of death, Israel instead brought death to the IRGC leaders of Iran’s death machine, to its commanders and struck at the machinery of its ballistic missile and nuclear program meant to kill millions. Its secret wasn’t just its brilliant strategy, but its grip on reality.
Israel took Iran seriously and acted seriously. It faced down death threats and delivered death to the terrorist enemies of civilization. That is what serious nations do. Unserious ones play word games and take refuge in wishful thinking. As we confront not only Iran, but Islamic terrorists around the world and in our own country, it’s time we get serious too.
If our enemies want to kill us, we have a choice between killing them or letting them kill us.
PacosMojo says
Greenfield, go back to 2003 and simply replace “Iraq” for “Iran” in that screed you penned above and read it aloud in Dick Cheney’s voice. That’s EXACTLY the kind of warmongering propaganda that convinced the majority of the US electorate to support the beyond awful invasion of Iraq. It’s one thing for the US to supply Israel with weapons employed against Iran. Getting our troops involved in directly attacking Iran is a bridge WAY TOO FAR!
Daniel Bielak says
The population of Iraq is largely devout Muslim and consisted of the two inter-warring main sects of Islam, Sunni and Shia, and is, as being largely devout Muslim, anti- democratic and anti-Western.
Whereas the population of Iran is largely secular, pro-democracy, and pro-Western.
Daniel Bielak says
I think that President Trump, and other U.S. officials, should strongly denounce the Islamic regime of Iran, strongly verbally and diplomatically support dissidents in Iran, and persuade European countries who are doing business with the Islamic regime of Iran to, instead, impose sanctions on the Islamic regime of Iran.
Daniel Bielak says
Correction: … which (not who) are doing business with the Islamic regime of Iran …
Daniel Bielak says
And Iraq under Saddam Hussein didn’t actually pose a threat to the USA nor to Israel nor to other Western countries. I disapproved of the U.S. invasion of Iraq since before it happened.
Whereas the Islamic regime of Iran has been funding, arming, and organizing, deadly Islamic terrorirm throughout the world for decades, and has repeatedly declared that their intention is to destroy the USA and Israel, and to dominate the entire world, and has been working to develop nuclear weapons.
The Islamic regime of Iran could have been stopped and toppled by skillful non-violent means by Western countries (by sanctions and by diplomatic and material support to Iranian dissidents). But the leaders of European countries, in general, and the members of the Deep State of the USA are malicious foolish antisemites (which is a redundant description).

And you have missed the point of Mr. Greenfield’s writing **completely** paco
࿗Infidel࿘ says
No, the difference here is that it’s Israel who is fighting Iran in response to a direct threat to it. It’s nothing even close to the 2003 Bush-Sharansky doctrine of trying to spread democracy to Iraq. Yeah, the Israel would like the islamic regime ousted, but after that, what the Iranian people do is up to them. As Bielak pointed out above, a majority of Iranians are sick of islam & have secretly left it, & Iran on its own is likely to go for a secular future
US is doing the right thing here supplying Israel w/ weapons: good that you at least don’t oppose that. Nobody in the current leadership supports getting US troops involved in that war
MJ Raichyk, PhD says
The weapons needed were the super bunker busters and B-52 s to haul them…
Presumably Netanyahu has some estimate of the power of their expert targeting to make up somehow for that weakness…
How fast could the U.S. even get the deep penetrating stuff there?
IMO everyone is not doing the arithmetic of the Iranian nukes right…
They squabble over whether it’s ten or eight or twelve…
Here’s what I see so far..
We ain’t as immune as nearly-everybody’s missile-distance-brain is thinking…
We’ve been trying to get the invaders out …slowly, but…
BLINDLY-Hopefully before Iran’s proxies already HERE start sending crazed Somali kids and adult jihadis with SUITCASE NUKES packed up with some part of the 605 pounds of the weapons-grade ”stuff”…
From IAEA quoted in EpochTimes…..
[quote]
Iran has roughly 605 pounds of uranium enriched up to a 60 percent threshold, according to a report by the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency. That is enough to build about half a dozen nuclear weapons.
[end quote]
”a half dozen nuclear weapons” is a THREAT of a LOT MORE SUITCASE SiZE NUKES…
Note that A.I. says:
ICBM warheads can contain tens of kilograms of plutonium or highly enriched uranium, suitcase nukes typically use a few kilograms, or even less…
Which as consistent with the IAEA estimate b/c
600lbs is 300 kilo, so IAEA is basing their weapons estimates on 50kilo portions in each of 6 weapons, clearly thinking it’s for ICBMs….
Whereas that 300kilos would make TEN TIMES AS MANY SUITCASE NUKES….
specifically SIXTY SUITCASE NUKES
and it only takes
NINE targeted transformers in the U.S grid to take down –fatally from disease and starvation besides the radiation– 99% of the U.S. population WITHIN A YEAR or less,
in a TOTAL GRID DOWN…
Because the U.S grid was…
Never HARDENED, like Israel’s, Russia’s etc..
And who’s gonna rebuild those transformers and they ain’t tinker toys,..
it would take MANY YEARS… and the ”Great Satan” is long gone before that…
And Germany manufacturing is de-industrializing, leaving CCP [not friendly] and hopefully Israel [but they’re kinda”busy” at this time frame, oy]
Seriously,
do you think the Ayatollah didn’t think about that, before now……
Of course they have and were working with North Korea on how to compliment each other’s deficiencies, with one working on the nukes and the other testing missiles…………
How fast can we AT LEAST harden our grid?
Is it possible to ”guard” the transformers until hardened?
The fools that got us into this trap are still braying that Iran’s missiles can’t reach here, stupidly ignoring grid-down suitcase-nukes..
Add that to the usual other threat rants on CCP, and PANAMA…
b/c a cargo ship with a missile below deck, boxed and slightly disassembled could anchor in the Gulf and set up and send a medium size nuke airborne to be precisely
at the most devastating height OVER OMAHA in barely 6 MINUTES, **NO INTERCEPT**
SO
we want straight-talk about suitcase nukes and aliens and Panama and grid hardening and transformer manufacturing…
And toss in American on-shore LACK of MED&SUPP MANUFACTURING..
[nearly all in China]..
Then we can sensibly talk about SUPPLYING BUNKER BUSTERS and B52s to Israelis and those consequences… How quick, how effective, what reactions…
I heard that Russia had favored Iran to take Trump’s deal… before things got kinetic.. Now? …
Meanwhile, there’s Ayatolla’s trouble with Iranian’s resisting his governing,
Plus some support from the Shah’s grandson –calling on the loyalists in the police and military to help the people protesting… Then add in the effect of sanction-tactics….
What’s MAGA…

The Ayatollah and his lineage needs to be eliminated and all of Iran’s generals and other actors need to be tried and executed for war crimes. Maybe just turning them all over to the Iranian mobs after they are defeated will serve Justice faster.

Turkey, Iran, and the 50+ Islamic Countries are Terrorist States of discrimination, deceit, violence, and terrorism against Israel, America, and ALL Non-Muslims as taught in Islam’s Quran(Quran 9:5, 29, 111; 98:6-7, etc.).
Allah’s hateful Islam, a Terrorist-Criminal Enterprise and a Murderous Cult, and its Believers, Terrorists for Allah(Quran 9:41, 88; 5:35, etc.), continually fund, promote, and practice ideological subversion, propaganda, bigotry, discrimination, deceit, supremacy, segregation, hatred, incitement to violence, genocide, and terrorism as taught in Islamic Law, Sharia, and in Islam’s Quran. Muslim actions should be legally challenged with a multi-faceted force of Western Laws like Muslims wield against Americans and Westerners via Tax Exempt Organizations, the Media and Hollywood, Foreign Funding, etc. because Islam violates and is incompatible with Western Laws(Quran 9:5,29, 111; 49:15; 60:4 etc.).
Like a Foreign Terrorist Organization(FTO) designated by the USA Secretary of State, Islam functions as a MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATION(MTO) fighting against Non-Muslims and NOT A PEACEFUL religion under Western Law because Islam funds, teaches, and promotes Terrorist Criminal Organizations with Muslims as Terrorists for Allah(Quran 9:5,29, 111; 49:15 etc.).
Allah’s demoniacal Islam, a hateful Antichrist Ideology, is using Western Freedoms and Laws against Non-Muslims to conquer Non-Muslims under Islamic Rule. Non-Muslims should legally designate Islam as a Muslim Terrorist Organization(MTO) where Mosques, Muslim Schools, Islamic Centers, Sharia Courts, and Muslim Organizations are banned because of their segregation and discrimination to fight back against ISLAMIZATION, Muslim subjugation, discrimination, and tyrannical violence(Quran 9:5,29,111; 60:4; 98:6-7 and more).
Sahih Bukhari 3126 says, “… the Prophet said, He who fights so that Allah’s Word(ie. Islam) should be superior, fights for Allah’s Cause.” Allah in Quran 9:111 says, “Surely Allah has purchased from the believers[Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden[Heavenly Paradise]. They engage in war for the sake of Allah[ie. Allah’s Cause), so they kill and are killed…”.
Under Islam and Islamic Law, Muslims have the Legal Right and the Quranic Duty to terrorize Non-Muslims because neglecting this QURANIC DUTY is a Crime against tyrannical Allah. Jihad means warfare against Non-Muslims to ESTABLISH ISLAM’S RELIGION(Quran 3:115, 151; 9:5, 29, 111; Muslim Law Manual: “Reliance of the Traveller”, o9.0 and more).
More specifically, Islam, a terroristic-totalitarian way of life, is a Muslim Terrorist Ideology and Murderous, Criminal Enterprise of: intolerance, continuous war, discrimination, segregation, supremacy, genocide, polygamy, propaganda, deceit, hatred, incitement, sedition, rape, terrorism, and violence against all Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran(Quran 2:208,216; 4:65, 89,95, 115; 5:14,64; 8:12,39,60, 74; 9:5,21,29,36, 41,49, 73,88, 111,123; 21:92; 49:15; 60:4; 61:9-11; 62:6; 89:14; etc.).

Khamene’i began by saying President Truml did not merit even a comment. Then he spent the next few hours ranting against President Trump. Khamene’i should have read Proverbs 10:19 “In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression but he who restrains his words is wise.”

John Smith says
When this evil regime chants “death to America”,unfortunately we all take them with a pinch of salt, and that is the problem.. Iran has every intention of wiping the US and all other non-Islamic countries off the face of the earth and yet we do nothing about it. It’s inevitable that once they are in a more powerful position they will try to do exactly what they preach. We should all get behind Israel and take them on, but sadly I know we won’t.
Westman says
The Iranian Regime is the head of the terrorist snakes it hires and the Muslim religious schools of Qom are where more internal terrorists are created. Both Fordow and the schools should be eliminated to save the world from a continuing evil, barbarians who kill their own for “religious ” reasons.
It seems like the US government is just like the old deep state, incapable of saving itself like an alcoholic who knows the right thing to do but doesn’t have the courage to do it – willing to sorrowfully watch a true friend die trying to save itself, while desperately looking for the next economic “drink”.
Home of the brave? Soldiers, YES. Politicians and monied Elite? Not so much. “Returning maximum returns to shareholders”, as religion, will eventually kill us all.
Ladyofthelake says
If the US had of simply gone in with Israel and properly and precisely destroyed the nuclear sites and affiliated agencies it would all be over by now and there would be no ongoing war and massive loss of life. President Trump please send in the B52s and the Daisy Cutters and the Bunker Busters etc and get her done.

The demonic sons of the devil in the government….and some of the population….want nuclear power in order to “go nuclear’ with their war.
mozzies believe it is their *right,* and their mandate to murder all who do not submit. They aren’t playing; they are serious in wanting all of us *dead.*
It doesn’t matter to them if they die as long as all of the rest of us are murdered, so they get to go to the fake paradise and engage in expressing their evil lusts….rape, causing pain and injury to others, and drinking all of the wine they can consume.
Their ‘paradise’ isn’t real, but their chants saying they want **Death** for the rest of us, is very real.
They won’t stop until the majority of mankind is literally taking the long dirt nap.

T’other day I saw a vid apparently from Iran’s parliament (all the sport-shirted men on one side, all the burqa’d women on the other) with Dear Leader prompting them for chants of Death to America and Death to Israel. What was interesting was that all but a very few wore a gun-to-the-head expression, like they didn’t dare be seen not chanting along. Totally flat and mechanical, no enthusiasm at all.

The rejoicing is forced, created under threat, as in Boris Godunov. It’s as if someone were beating you with a stick and saying, “Your business is rejoicing, your business is rejoicing,” and you rise, shaky, and go marching off, muttering, “Our business is rejoicing, our business is rejoicing.”
— Dmitri Shostakovich

America needs to take these threats seriously. Any country thats citizens and political leaders promote death to America needs to be watched closely. We also need to remove any and all citizens of these countries and close our borders to migration and visitors visas from these countries.
Winston 101 says
“America first” doesn’t mean “America only.” No country is strong enough, wealthy enough or geographically lucky enough to go it completely alone. e.g. the oil trading system.
It seems strange to me to talk about Iran’s nuclear program having nothing to do with the United States.
If that was the case, none of us would care if Iran had nukes. But, we all know about ICBM’s, suitcase nukes and dirty bombs, etc ad nauseam.
I believe the Mullah’s when they tell us they want to eliminate to United States, the Great Satan.
Iran’s hot war, for now, is with Israel, the little Satan. It’s Israel’s soldiers and citizens who are fighting and dying.
No, I don’t want American boots on the ground and Israel has never asked for that.
I would like a way to be found for the U.S. to sell MOAB bombs to take out Fordo and any other Iranian nuke development site that could improve with MOAB application. Perhaps we could loan them a C-130 that’s already modified for MOAB delivery. I believe Israel has a C-130, Hercules, so maybe they already have the pilots?
I find no contradiction between “America First” and “Help Israel to Prevent Iran Going Nuclear” because that would be America, now, taking care of America, future.

Death to America: Muslims aka Islam has been stating this for years and everyone turns a deaf ear. Those of us out there that understand Islam knows this is not just words.
Islam has invaded our nation, they have built mega mosques along side freeways for all to see and they purchase homes in neighborhoods and make them mosques. Businesses, areas of no go zones ruled by sharia law where only Muslims are allowed in.
Don’t be fooled by “just words”, they have a specific meaning for Islam and that is to destroy America and make it an Islamic nation.
Winston 101 says
Troybeam Et Al
I also believe that you should listen to the “other side”. Listen carefully, and pay attention to, the people who have declared themselves your sworn, lethal, enemy and why. It was declared by “big mo” in the 7th century to bring about the world wide Caliphate.
The first encounter of the U S with Islam was the Barbary Wars (1801-5 and 1815))
“from the shores of Tripoli” to stop Islam from attacking and taking U S ships, exacting tribute, and enslaving the crews. The result was the expanding of the U S Navy and the Marines. There was no “U S imperialism” and no Israel then to confuse the addled lefties – but there was Jihad.
When Jefferson asked the local muslim ruler why, since their was no belligerence between the two countries, they would take those actions the response was, in effect, it is granted by Allah in the Quran, it was justified holy war – Jihad.
It’s been Jihad ever since. The only justification Islam has ever had or needed.
