The latest curveball in the Iranian War is that the new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is gay, according to intel presented to President Trump, who reportedly laughed.
The issue here is not the morality of being gay. But because homosexuality is punishable by hanging in Iran, the revelation proves that people of privilege and power do whatever the like, plebes be damned.
Not only has Mojtaba misappropriated his country’s wealth to personally buy 12 properties in the U.K. worth about $120M, stakes in two hotels in Germany, a luxury golf resort in Mallorca, properties in Paris and a luxury villa in Dubai’s Beverly Hills district, he flicks off the strict morality laws of his country.
No matter. He won’t be able to enjoy his vast real estate empire or his rumored long-term homosexual relationship with his childhood tutor. Mojtaba hasn’t been seen in public; intel says he’s disfigured and possibly in a coma in a hospital bed.
Naming him the next supreme leader seems an exercise in propaganda to instill fear in Iranians that the regime continues unchanged — even though mullahs are leaving the country for Canada, Australia and Oman.
His sexual orientation matters little more than an object of curiosity — a glaring reminder of the regime’s double standard, repression for the people, opulence and impunity for its leaders.
What matters is the Strait of Hormoz, which in a last ditch effort to make the world regret attacking regime, Iran has choked off with missiles to restrict 20% of the world’s flow of petroleum. Gas prices are spiking as Iran attempts to strangle the shipping lane.
“He’s no Winston Churchill” was Trump’s public shaming of U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer who has opted out of supporting its greatest ally with daily flipflops. Starmer wants to appease the significant voting bloc of Muslims who want to keep the nation out of the war.
Plus, the U.K. is currently facing the consequences of decades of prioritizing socialist policies over military funding. The formerly respected Royal Navy, which raised England to world domination with the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, is now a sorry, sagging squadron after decades of funding cuts 438 years later.
Of 60 ships, only half are operational. The British taxpayer has been funding free housing for South Asian immigrants who come over rape British women while their once feared fleet has become a pathetic task force of tin cans. One day Starmer says yes we’ll support you, the next he says no we’re not getting involved. Who knows what he will do at the end.
“These social democracy countries (have) absolutely decapitated their defense budgets (in favor of) entitlement programs,” says retired Gen. Jack Keane. “It’s very frustrating to see (them deny help in the Strait of Hormuz) when we need help.”
The U.K., France and Germany are finally pledging to help in the Iran War — late to the game. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called them “ungrateful allies in Europe.” Trump has requested mine-sweepers from the United Kingdom.
China, India, Japan and South Korea receive most of their oil through the Strait, but what affects one part of the world’s supply jacks up the price for the rest of the world. Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi met with Trump Thursday to pledge help to keep trade flowing in this important waterway.
Iran had submarines to wreak havoc on shipping lanes in the Strait, but the U.S. Navy reportedly eliminated those. What remains (possibly) are mines and anti-ship missiles buried deep in caverns along the coast of Iran that the U.S. recently used for the first time 5,000-lb bunker buster bombs to neutralize.
Arab nations, targeted by Iran, met Thursday to discuss how they would retaliate. So far? Just words of condemnation.
