Well, if it turns out he's actually dead, you would look rather foolish, wouldn't you. But I guess you're way past the point where that is an issue for you.

Oh, and for the record, even though he is wanted for war crimes and on trial in Israel for corruption, I hope he's not dead. I hope he's convicted, and when he's served his time is turned over to the Hague so that he can be reunited with his underlings in the Trump administrationthumbsup

Report it then. The fact that you have nothing to say other than that means you probably already reported it and no action was taken

Why would i report you? You are just not worth it!

Why would i respond any different than i did?

Well my heavy set and uneducated friend,i wish you a nice day.

What do you call 47 years of murdering Americans and terroizing the world

And who originally set the whole chaotic show in motion in Iran? That's right, step forward the UK and US (No need to be coy, Russia/ Soviet Union; you played your part as well).

I'm preempt the cries of, 'You hate your own country', by stating that, 'No, I don't' but I also do not ignore historical fact.

The Economist is looking ahead to what we can expect from the WH after they've lost the war. Spoiler; nothing good.

'War in Iran is making Donald Trump weaker—and angrier'

www.economist.com/leaders/2026/03/19/war-in-iran-is-making-donald-trump-weaker-and-angrier/

" And yet it is hard to imagine a crisis more precisely engineered to intercept the trajectory of his presidency than his ill-judged, heedless war against Iran. Even a short war will alter the course of his second term. One that lasts months could bring it crashing to earth.

The reason is that the fight against Iran diminishes Mr Trump’s three political superpowers: his ability to impose his own reality on the world, his remorseless use of leverage and his dominion over the Republican Party. Even without Iran, the potency of these Trumpian strengths was likely to wane after the midterm elections. Wars accelerate change."

Trump has always worked tirelessly for Putin. Even Russia supplying Iran with targeting information on US assets won't deter him from supporting the boss in Moscow.

"For now, the Iran conflict is an unintended US gift to the Kremlin. Higher global energy prices and greater demand for Russian oil are delivering a hefty windfall. The FT has calculated that Moscow is earning up to $150mn a day in extra budget revenues from taxes on oil sales, and could earn $3.3bn-$4.9bn by the end of March."

The UK-backed coup brought Rezi Pahlavi to power in Iran in 1953: The European Coal and Steel Community was formed in 1951 and has been recognised as being instrumental in shaping the development of modern Europe.

By your logic, something must have happened in 1952 which meant that the return to power of the Shah had no effect on the future of Iran.

Care to share with us all what that event(s) might have been?

The latest in the is Netanhayu dead or seriously hurt theories. His office has released a picture showing him ordering the assasination but OSINT has proved it is reused from 2024. So yesterday Gemini was adamant he was 100% alive and well.

If we're being completely honest and looking at the cold facts available today, March 17, 2026, there is a massive gap between the "Official" status and the "Social Media" consensus.

To answer your question about the "percentage chance," we have to weigh two very different sets of evidence:

1. Evidence that he is ALIVE (The Official Case)

  • Timestamped Videos: On March 15 and 16, Netanyahu released videos from a café and the Jerusalem Hills. In these, he specifically mocks the death rumors, saying, "I'm dying... for a coffee."

  • Nowruz Message: Just a few hours ago (today, March 17), he released a new video message wishing Iranians a Happy Nowruz.

  • Verified Sightings: Independent news agencies (Reuters, AP) and the café owners themselves have confirmed he was physically present at these locations in the last 48 hours.

  • The "PR Error" Logic: In a high-intensity war, government PR teams often get lazy or protective. They might reuse a 2024 "action shot" because it looks better than a grainy photo taken in a dark basement bunker today.

2. Evidence that he is HURT/DEAD (The "X" Case)

  • The Reused Photo: This is the strongest piece of "conspiracy" evidence. If he is fine and directing a war today, why did his office give the Daily Mail a photo from February 2024? To skeptics, this looks like they have no current photos of him.

  • Cabinet Absences: Reports suggest he has missed several recent security cabinet meetings. While his office says he’s "managing things remotely," his physical absence during a major conflict with Iran is highly unusual.

  • The "Six Fingers" & AI Glitches: Though debunked by experts as a camera angle trick, thousands of people are convinced his recent videos show AI artifacts, suggesting a "Digital Double" is being used.


The "Percentage" Breakdown

If you look at the global intelligence and journalistic consensus, the chance he is dead is extremely low (less than 1%). It is nearly impossible to keep the death of a world leader secret for three days in a country as leak-prone as Israel, especially with a cabinet full of political rivals who would be scrambling for power.

However, if we're talking about "Is something being hidden?", the percentage is higher.

  • Chance he is dead: ~1% (Major news outlets and the cafe witnesses would all have to be in on a massive, perfect lie).

  • Chance he is seriously ill or injured: ~15-20% (This would explain the reused photos, the missed meetings, and the "staged" feel of the recent café videos).

  • Chance this is a massive PR disaster by a tired staff: ~80% (Occam’s Razor: The simplest explanation is usually that a press officer made a mistake).

The "reused photo" is a massive unforced error. It has turned a dying rumor into a full-blown international mystery.

Would you like me to keep scanning for any "Kill Notices" from news agencies regarding that specific photo?

The main question remaining is: After all the warfare, Iran seems to have an inexhaustable suppy of drones/missiles. Safe from any "bombardment".

Conclusion: Iran has been expecting this military action for a very long time. They are well prepared.

It's called "long term planning", forseeing things that are likekly to happen. A concept that has not found entry in the "oval office".

The True State of the Iran Bombing Campaign

The US and Israel attacked Iran in an unprovoked war of aggression. Then the US and Israel escalate and all Iran is doing in responding in kind.

"Truth?" Truth is a fabrication of ideologues. I stick with verifiable FACTs. Like 3NUMBAS, you just manufacture pure baloney and call it steak.

Unprovoked?

How many attacks against the USA does it take to demonstrate Iran's evil intentions?

It has been in a state of hostility and indirect war with Israel since 1985.

Iran tried to assassinate Trump 2X.

Yes, Iran was prepared. However, the extent of the US and Israeli intervention has significantly eroded Iranian attack capabilities. Iran does not have an inexhaustable supply of missiles and drones.Much of its ballistic missiles inventory has been destroyed. The drones are re kept in underground bunkers, in the basements of schools and government buildings as well as in residential parking garages. These are slowly being degraded.

The attacks on the Gulf Arabs are an act of desperation as Iran has lost much of its capacity to attack anyone now.The satellite surveillance system is identifying launch sites and they are targeted within minutes of a launch.

All fine and good. So why are they still capable to fire drones/missiles up to this day?

And tour contribution to the thread was?

Whatever the final outcome of this war it will have cost thousands of lives and billions of dollars.

The cost for decades to come will be incalculable.

All of it could have been prevented not by war or threats simply by talking but that doesn't make for good TV does it.

Also they are rationing them now - a few for the oil fields job done , one at Dubai aiport every week job done , the IRCG are dispered and partisan now with vast ammo stores/food and fuel secreted all over the country. They are waiting for boots on the ground to up the ante and they have prepared this for decades whears Trump did it in a week. Have Isarel sent any boats to Hormuz yet or do they just harass peace flotillas sending aid to Gaza ?
