Trump has good reason to claim he’s won regime change in Iran. From our deep files, we have discovered that the new Ayatollah, Mojtaba Khamenei, far from being a “more militant” version of his father, the late Ayatollah Khamenei, is a long-time asset of the Mossad. Indeed, he’s the one who relayed his father’s whereabouts to Netanyahu. As to the reports that Trump killed not only Mojtaba’s dad but Mojtaba’s wife and children, don’t believe the official story. Trump has already let the cat out of the bag: Trump and Mojtaba will be splitting the “troll” fee to get through the Strait of Hormuz. By plugging up the Strait of Hormuz, the “toll” (a shakedown of nearly $1 million per tanker) will make Trump and Khamenei richer than Putin. That was the plan from the beginning.
UPDATE: APRIL FOOL! And have a happy and healthy Passover.
