Iran's Got a 'Who's Zoomin' Who' Problem
Is this competence or optics?
What was written after a taped phone call with Aretha Franklin in 1985 about how the Queen of Soul used to work the room with other 'players' at nightclubs for a little naughty fun has turned into the big question facing both rapidly-dwindling leadership in Iran, as well as U.S. and Israeli military commanders. Who's Zoomin' Who? Who's in charge? Where's Ayatollah Waldo? There were a lot of priorities facing the planners at the Pentagon with the onset of Operation Epic Fury - defeating any remaining air defenses, removing Iranian naval and air assets, destroying ballistic missile stockpiles, and, more importantly, their mobile and stationary launchers. All of these issues had to be, and largely have been, addressed over the last week to great success. But among the highest of objectives was to eliminate Iran's command and control capabilities. It's quite telling, in fact, that there's no proof of life of someone actually in charge of the degrading terror state besides a picture of one of the former Supreme Leader's sons and the message, 'Trust us, another weekend is upon us and Ayatollah Bernie is just fine, but he's a bit hoarse from all the great things happening and can't come out and talk right now.' Literally within minutes of President Donald Trump giving the go command last Friday, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was dead. Forty-plus of his lieutenants, his oldest son, his daughter-in-law, and his grandchildren were dead. For the next 48 hours, death and destruction to IRGC and Basij forces and facilities rained down all over Iran, and by Sunday on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, known lovingly as Tehran Tim, said this.
