Know Thy Enemy, Democrats

Khamenei presided over decades of theocratic rule, first as president and then as supreme leader

In 1989, Iran maintained the highest execution rate per capita in the world under his command.

"Khamenei crushed the 2009 Green Movement, killing dozens and imprisoning hundreds.

He met the 2022 Women, Life, Freedom movement with mass arrests, torture and executions. He destroyed the Iranian economy to fund a proxy network spanning Hezbollah, the Houthis, Hamas and Shia militias across the Middle East.

He repressed tens of millions of women. And in January 2026, his security forces murdered thousands of citizens protesting the regime, with some estimating the death toll at more than 30,000.

When millions of Iranians took to the streets in a rush of anti-regime sentiment, they were met with brutal force and massacred in the thousands." [By Nadav Ziv]

So, with all his brutality and the simple fact that Iran is building nuclear bombs to use against those he hates (democracies) what is the Democrats problem with Trump taking them out? It's been suggested that Iran is about two weeks away from having the bomb.

It's all about power and control by Democrats--because the President did not come before Congress to get their approval. But he didn't have to. He had already notified them within the 48 hours of committing armed forces to military action, the War Powers Act.
