Office of the Speaker of Iran's parliament: "The U.S. has just 20 hours to surrender."

When the leaders of a murderous, thuggish regime see the Good Guys closing in, their usual response is a fascinating psychological coping mechanism:  "Actually we iz winning!  Yep yep yep!  We gots the other side on the ropes!  They'll be defeated in a matter of hours."

For young Americans (for whom nothing that happened before 1990 is useful): in the 1970s psychiatrist Elisabeth Kubler-Ross identified this as the first of five stages of coping mechanisms when someone starts to realize the end is near:  Denial.

Since virtually none of us has ever ruled a nation, it's hard to imagine how intensely thuggish assholes utterly refuse to accept that the end is approaching, with their overthrow and possible death--possibly being ripped apart by bereaved citizens finally getting their revenge.  So the leaders simply...deny there's a problem!

Thus in Iran: probably the highest-ranking survivor of the regime's leadership is the Speaker of Iran's parliament--a blowhard named Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.  As you'd guess, Ghalibaf is a hard-line thug who is perfectly happy executing women for showing their hair under the mandatory hijab.

(American Lying Mainstream Media: "NOOooo, dat not true!  Dat fake newz!  Islam beez duh religion of peace, an' totally respeks wimmens!  So dey would nevah doo dat!  ALL the hundreds of stories from citizens of Muslim nations saying dat happened are lies!  We knows dat cuz we iz smaaaaht!  Not like you dumb deplorables!  See, duh nice pipo running duh Islamic regime of Iran sed it nevah happened, so...dere ya go!
   "Okay...dey din' exactly say it din' happen, but dey assured us 'Islam iz "the religion of peace," right?  An' a peaceful religion would nevah execute a woman for merely showing her hair, right?  Right??"

Ohhh absolutely, cupcake. 

SO...now that you understand how the Islamic regime MUST lie as the end nears, consider: An adviser to the Speaker of Iran’s parliament--Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, a total thug and regime kingpin--said Iran is winning the war, and that Trump has "about 20 hours to submit to Iran” or face devastating consequences for US allies.

Mahdi Mohammadi wrote on X, “Trump has about 20 hours to either submit to Iran or his allies will return to the Stone Age.  Iran has clearly won the war and will only accept an ending that [we want.]  We will not back down.”

Now, for young Americans: way back before you were born--thus before the beginning of history (2003)--as American tanks rolled into Baghdad, on the other side of the city Iraq's "Minister of Information" (Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf) was being interviewed by a dozen journalists from all over the world.  He's famous for the resulting videos in which he proclaims there were no American troops in Baghdad--when they were actually just ten miles from the minister's location.

If you don't believe it, google "Baghdad Bob." 

This is where the "Islamic regime of Iran" is right now.  A hundred of so of the leaders of the regime have been killed in air-strikes, and the rest are beginning to sense that the end is near.  But human psychology--the coping mechanism--compels them to believe the reverse: that their regime is not only winning, but that the U.S. will be forced to surrender in just 20 hours or so.

Ohh, you bet, cupcake.

See, the regime rulers know that if they give up and try to flee, they could be ripped apart by citizens whose loved ones were murdered by the Islamists.  (For Americans who don't pay attention: in 3 days in January (8th thru 10th) the IRGC murdered 40,000 Iranian citizens.  Shot 'em in the streets with rifles, shotguns and automatic handguns.

Shooting fish in a barrel, as they say.  If you bother to look, you can find hours of video of those executions.  It's utterly chilling--almost beyond belief.  But there are SO many cell-phone videos that at some point even stupid Democrats are finally forced to realize "It would have cost a fortune to stage all this."

So why didn't Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf himself make the bragging, bullshit claim that Iran has the U.S. on the ropes, eh?

Cuz like all the top regime leaders, Ghalibaf is too busy trying to find a way to flee to...uh...Russia?  China?  Cuba?  Venezuela is out.  Life in Cuba sucks.  Leaves Russia and China, eh?

But in China, Muslims are "persona non-grata," eh?  Of course other Muzz-ruled nations are a possibility, but you need money to bribe the rulers to take you in.  And we've frozen the regime's bank accounts.

 Of course all the smaaaht regime kingpins have squirreled away as much gold and as many Euros as they could.  But getting either of those to the ruler of a Muzz nation you're trying to bribe takes planning, eh?  But don't worry, you've got time, right?

But if Iranian citizens (a.k.a. "deplorables") start to capture weapons, and the IRGC flees, that time expires.  So the most important thing for regime leaders is to keep the IRGC "imperial guard" and the public believing their lies that the U.S. will lose the war.

Now, most rational observers know the Islamic regime is on the ropes.  But the regime has an ace in the hole: U.S. Democrats and their Media allies.

If you've been paying attention, you know a dozen or more congressional Democrats have accused Trump of committing war crimes and are demanding that he be removed as president.

Think I'm kidding?  Click here.

Today is April 7th.  Yesterday the first Iranian member of the U.S. House--a Democrat--called for Trump to be removed via the 25th Amendment, and announced she was filing articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth.  And the U.S. Mainstream Media parrot this without a critical world: "War crimes." 

The mullahs and IRGC are totally confident that if they can just hold out for another few weeks, congressional Democrats and their Media allies will have enough public support to force Trump to end the war, leaving the mullahs and IRGC in power.  Hence the bluster from the new "Baghdad Bob:" "Duh U.S. is only 20 hours from surrendering!"

Wow.  The U.S. Media will win the war for the IRGC and their Democrat allies--ensuring the continued rule of the mullahs.
