Ayatollah Khamenei, supreme leader of Iran, was killed during a joint Israel-U.S. attack on Iran Saturday, the Israeli ambassador to the U.S. informed American officials. Khamenei served as Iran’s chief theocrat and highest authority for 35 years. His death is a major blow to the regime and leaves the country with a leadership vacuum at the highest level. Airstrikes have also targeted much of Iran’s political and military leadership, leaving major uncertainty as to who will be his successor and when a change of leadership will be made effective. The death of Khamenei is a major coup for Israel, which…

Thankfully, gun and ammo companies seem to have stopped marketing their wares in neon green for zombie killing.
