      Personally, I’m hoping for magic carpet ride with a genie across the desert …

      But you’re probably right…

      I saw a more recent article (in Japanese, so I can’t link to it) saying he and the foreign minister are both dead, so we know which one.

    Looks like Iran’s Supreme Leader, Khamenei, wants to make sure only his son, Mojtaba, will succeed him. Raisi was the other likely candidate. Took a page out of Putin’s playbook.

    Huh, that’s fine I guess. Maybe he went to a nice fascist president farm upstate.
