It will be yours to take” 2026-04-01 “We never said regime change, but regime change has occurred because of all of their original leaders’ death — they’re all dead […] The new group is less radical and much more reasonable.” 2026-04-01 “We are in this military operation so powerful, so brilliant, against one of the most powerful countries, for 32 days,” 2026-04-01 “We’re going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We’re going to bring them back to the stone ages, where they belong.” 2026-04-04 “48 hours before all Hell will reign [sic] down on them.” 2026-04-05 “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.” 2026-04-06 “Every bridge in Iran […] every power plant […] I mean complete demolition by 12 o’clock” 2026-04-07 “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”
