Iran's new leader can't attend his inauguration, so regime presents a cardboard cutout

Last Tuesday Iran began showing photos of a large cardboard cutout of the new appointed head of the regime, Mojtaba Khamenei--son of the dead former ruler--at a ceremony celebrating his appointment as the country’s leader.

No one is sure why he didn't appear in person, but there's speculation that he was injured in the same strike that killed his father.

Of course the regime's other high officials understandably didn't want to admit the new ruler had been injured, since that might spur young Iranians to continue to protest.  So they needed Plan B. 

Their solution was...novel: The inauguration ceremony went on as planned, but without Mojtaba Khamenei.  Instead the high officials showed a full-size cardboard cutout of a man with a photo of Mojtaba’s face at the top.

This is what passes for strategic thinking by Islamic dictators.

But the cardboard stand-in doesn't mean the Islamic regime can't survive the U.S. attacks.  All American actions controlled by the "election cycle."  All adversaries know that as elections approach, the U.S. Left/Democrats/communists will scream that we MUST stop whatever the administration is doing to clean up the world.

So "Cardboard Khamenei" and his regime have a chance to remain in power for decades to come. All the need to do is survive for another two months, and Democrats in the U.S. will rescue them.
