SERIOUS COUNTRIES TAKE DEATH THREATS SERIOUSLY.
"On May 17th 2025, 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 attempting 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 Islamic terror regime itself was saying, and refusing to believe that it meant it. To believe in a nuclear deal, one has to believe that a terror state that obtains electricity from abundant natural gas resources for a fraction of the cost of the world’s electricity, wanted a ‘civilian’ nuclear program.
To believe in any kind of deal with Iran, one also has to believe, (as the New York Times once insisted) that Iran “has a complicated relationship with the phrase” and that when it says, “Death to America” and “Death to Israel”, it really doesn’t mean it. Ayatollah Khamenei himself explained in 2023: “The situation between America and Iran is this: When you chant ‘Death to America!’ it is not just a slogan – it is a policy,” What did that policy look like in practice? “‘Death to America” means death to Trump,” Khamenei had previously warned. In 2024, an Iranian operative was charged in a plot by the IRGC, (Iran’s terror arm) to assassinate Donald Trump before Election Day. The “complicated relationship” wasn’t so complicated then, and it’s definitely not a metaphor. “Death to Trump” literally means trying to kill the president. “Death to America” means the destruction of America, and “Death to Israel” means exactly what it says. Apologists for the Jihadist regime in Tehran pretend that it’s just about the west’s ‘foreign policy’. But beyond only chanting for the destruction of America, Israel and England, the chants at the Khamenei speech included “Death to the hypocrites and infidels” (the deaths of all non-Muslims and insufficiently devout Muslims) and death to those who oppose the supreme power of Islamic jurisprudence in the form of its Ayatollahs, Mullahs and other theocratic tyrants."
