Iran Decapitation? Among the Iran options presented to President Trump is the assassination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his son Mojtaba, a “Trump adviser” told Axios’s Barak Ravid and Marc Caputo. ”A second source confirmed a plan to kill Khamenei and his son was floated to Trump several weeks ago,” they added. “What the president chooses no one knows. I don’t think he knows,” the adviser said. We’ve not seen corroboration of the widespread report elsewhere.
Crazy Is: Worries about Trump’s plans for Iran are mounting, meanwhile, following his announced intent to send “a great hospital boat” to Greenland, which it neither needs nor wants, once more spurring chatter that the president has dementia. Trump’s ex-White House deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews last month condemned his obsession with annexing Greenland, calling it “the most mentally ill, deranged thing” Trump has sought since regaining office. His hospital ship announcement on Truth Social caused “befuddlement on both sides of the Atlantic,” The Washington Post reported.
