These were the big three clerics in Iran and their proclamation to keel Americans is now compulsory on faithful Shiite Muslims everywhere.
The author of this piece - Michael Snyder, argues this is a huge deal and maybe it is, but isn't this basically what they've been doing all along? Seems to me this won't take up too much of our time.
I love how they act as if they are victims in this; they are the ones who have waged endless war on Israel and "the Great Satan" as they call us. This is entirely of their own making and deep down these fatuous fathead fatwah peddlers know it too.

Me thinks Trump intentionally took out the IRGC leadership before demanding an unconditional surrender knowing there would no clear leader to surrender. Yesterday the powerless President of Iran declared they would no longer target their neighbors and today the IRGC is targeting their neighbors. Invasion of Iran as in boots on the ground could come from these neighbors leaving the US as advisors and giving air support and free Israel to finish the job in Lebanon as the President of Lebanon wants hezbollah gone. That would only leave the IRGC being protected by the UK and living in the UK to deal with.

Brilliant point Mike! That hadn't occurred to me!
It would be a very sound strategy indeed. Iran has just lost any sympathy it had and this also illustrates to the region they cannot be trusted by anybody and that the only safe Iran is a toppled Iran.
It's just a pleasure watching a professional foreign policy being played out, and especially one as brilliantly strategized as this!
