General Abolfazl Shekarchi, a spokesperson for Iran’s armed forces, delivered a severe threat: “Trump knows that if any hand of aggression is extended toward our leader, we not only cut that hand but also we will set fire to their world.”

      I mean they could build dirty bombs, rendering whole citys uninhabitable even if they are intercepted. Personally I would rather not find out.

      Wouldn’t it be absolute insanity if Iran somehow kidnapped Trump one night?

      And we’re left here standing here with our Maduro in our hands. The only logical move at that point would be to promote him to president of the US.

      Can’t they just kidnap the Ayatollah and accidentally drop him into the sea?

      One thing is as illegal as the other…

        probably harder to kidnap the iranian supreme leader, since h likely has round the clock loyal security, plus hes regularly goes to russia for protection too.

    The comments came after Trump described Ayatollah Khamenei in a Saturday interview with Politico as “a sick man who should run his country properly and stop killing people,” adding “it’s time to look for new leadership in Iran.”

    This is the most pot kettle black statement ever.

        Am I the only one who read this and immediately played out the scenario in my head like a Billy Mays infomercial pitch?

          Listen, I don’t know how to fly a plane, but if we get all of them on one plane, I absolutely volunteer to be the pilot. I only need to handle the takeoff part and the parachuting part, so I figure it won’t take as long as most for me to pick up what I need.

            Use the plane Qatar gave him. Plenty of space there. It apparently only has seats for about 90 despite the model being able to carry 400. They can use Ryanair-like seating… the floor.

              I’m totally willing to risk myself fucking up the parachuting part just to add some certainty to the desired “landing”.

                Do it Saw-style. Give them each a parachute, that they have to pack themselves. They can make their own decision, and they have the means to solve it themselves of they choose.
