Exiled Journalists Devastating Take on Iranian

Iran is getting pounded around the clock by the U.S. and Israel. 

It hasn’t helped the regime that their alleged Supreme Leader, Moqtaba Khamenei, has not been seen since the start of Operation Epic Fury, and no one even is aware of if he’s alive. He supposedly issued a assertion for the Nowruz vacation, but again, he wasn’t seen, and he did not even read it, so there was no affirmation. As we famous, the message was unhinged from actuality, claiming they had been “breaking the enemy,” and that he believes in good relations with his neighbors, even as he’s attacking them.

We’ve been joking about how Moqtaba is “cardboard” because all they’ve shown of him so far is a image, and people began a cardboard meme about him. But a journalist from Iran who lives in exile, the Research Director for the National Union for Democracy in Iran, Khosro Isfahani, indicated in a new interview with GWN’s Kate Bolduan how determined the Iranian regime was concerning what was being performed with Moqtaba. He called him the first AI-generated chief. Isfahani also took a hilarious shot at the Supreme Leader. 

I joined GWN’s @KateBolduan to talk about subject updates from Iran and analysis of the regime’s army and security response.

“We are dealing with an impotent young cleric who has all the charisma of a boiled potato,” Isfahani said. All the footage being put out of Moqtaba was either previous or AI-generated,  he explained, “That’s the man we are dealing with.” 

Isfahani explained how the leaders had been being systematically taken out, including Ali Larijani, who he said had accountability for the killing of hundreds of protesters in January. That’s the man some on the left thought was “moderate.” He said taking out those guys would block Iran from stabilizing itself. 

He also pointed to the significance of taking out the Basij, the “arms” of the regime, suppressing the people, saying a whole lot had been taken out, and others had been afraid to show up for work. 

“This is the last battle for our homeland,” Isfahani declared. “We won’t miss this chance,” he posted on X. He also posted another meme, which somebody hilariously based on his interview. 

Told GWN that Mojtaba Khamenei, the new Supreme Leader in Iran, has the charisma of a boiled potato.

We’ve seen a lot of issues that have shown how a lot the Iranian people hate the regime. But maybe nothing confirmed Isfahani’s level more than the response to a huge strike that appeared to be against an Iranian air base in Dezful, Iran. The explosion is highly effective. So is the response. 

🚨 WOW. STUNNING second as US-Israeli bombs violently explode on top of Iran’s Dezful airbase

The Iranian filming this is SCREAMING in pleasure! 🔥

Reports indicated that it might need hit an ammunition dump

Take that response and multiply it by all the people who in all probability really feel that method. 

Can a cardboard, AI-generated chief deal with all that, the U.S. and Israel? Somehow, I do not assume so.
