Old mate isn't so brave anymore, and reportedly gone into hiding again:

Article:

Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has gone into hiding in a Tehran bunker, according to the opposition-affiliated Iran International news site, as the country prepares for a possible US attack amid heightened tensions over the brutal crackdown of protests earlier this month.

According to the report, which cites "information received" by the opposition news site, Khamenei went underground after senior officials assessed an "increased risk of a potential US attack," as the US moves significant military forces into the region. The report adds that the supreme leader's bunker is fortified, and contains a system of "interconnected tunnels."

While Khamenei is in hiding, his third-born son, Masoud Khamenei, has taken over day-to-day operations in his father's office and is serving as the "main channel for communication" with government leaders, the report says.

Imagine hiding in a bunker because its dangerous to be in your office and then placing your child in that office.

I think this weekend something will happen. Not sure about today, but this week for sure.


If nothing this week - then it is over.

A wannabe tough guy that's actually a huge coward. That's all he is at the end of the day.

I'd be surprised if nothing happens, in the sense of a military intervention I mean.
The effort of moving all that equipment just for talks?

Listen, I don't have any sympathy for the regime but I still would prefer talks and a peaceful solution.
Unfortunately, both sides act and talk in bad faith.

I see a lot of people here arguing for a military intervention. Let's be real, we'll be moving closer to a world without any checks and balances real fast. And the outcome will be dramatic. It won't take much more plunge the world into chaos.

Only one side acts in bad faith though.
