The US bombing of Khamenei has caused a big disaster, with hundreds of thousands of Iranians gathering in Isfahan, shouting revenge slogans that echoed through the skies!
On March 1, 2026, the streets of Isfahan, a key city in central Iran, witnessed a shocking scene. According to footage from the scene, hundreds of thousands of people flooded the streets. Note that this was not an ordinary rally, but a massive surge of intense emotions. Among the crowd, there were no signs of weakness or crying, only unified and fierce shouts.
The volume of the revenge slogans was so loud that it even overshadowed the background noise of the city. Why Isfahan? It is not only a historic and cultural city in Iran, but also one of the key target areas of the recent air strike, which houses important nuclear facilities and military bases. The gathering of the people here was both a mourning for the deceased and a call to arms.
Iranian media repeatedly emphasized a highly symbolic detail in their reports: Khamenei was not hiding in a secret fortress underground as previously speculated by the West, but was on duty at his office in his residence in Tehran when he was attacked and killed. The Iranian side emphasized that Khamenei was on duty until the very end of his life.
It seems that the US and Israel underestimated the influence of Khamenei. His sudden death did not cause the expected chaos, but instead became a powerful glue that united all factions. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has issued a statement vowing to carry out "severe punishment."
Considering Iran's arsenal of ballistic missiles and its network of proxies across the Middle East, such as Hezbollah in Lebanon, Iraqi militias, and the Houthi rebels in Yemen, the subsequent retaliation is likely to be more than symbolic, potentially involving large-scale saturation attacks aimed at causing substantial casualties. All of Israel and U.S. military bases in the Middle East will be placed on high alert.
From the roaring cries of revenge in Isfahan, Dao Ge sees not only the emotional release of hundreds of thousands of people, but also the herald of a new storm in the Middle East. The chain reaction triggered by this "decapitation operation" may have a destructive force and uncertainty far beyond the initial expectations of U.S. and Israeli decision-makers.
