The reliable Jen Rubin is quite upset:

Hollywood probably has less bombing to deal with. Except for movie bombs LOL!

Matt Walsh breaks with his boss Shapiro (so I assume), and is not a fan.

Rumors of a cult among right wing pundits may be exaggerated.

My thoughts at the moment...

it's long overdue given the last 50 years of this dreadful Iranian regime conducting its war against westernised infidels.

pretty sure Iran will end up divided and in the chaos that we see in Lybia or Iraq.

It's interesting to think how long he's been in power. I think Iran has had 4 leaders in 100+ years. I don't know of another country with that track record.

Were any Epstein files destroyed in the attack?

Since 1979 the two Iranian clerical leaders have thought of themselves as God's representative on earth, their beliefs justifying the killing of thousands, even including infants in hospitals.

I always wonder how nobody shoots these evil people

Words from Reza Pahlavi. I rather doubt Iran wishes to go back to the Shah's son, after all there was a reason the Islamic revolution caught fire.

[Axtremus]

Yeah, saw Pahlavi's op-ed in WaPo and had to look up who he is. In the op-ed he's labeled "leader of the Iranian democratic opposition" alongside "the eldest son of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last shah of Iran."

[Horace]

I wonder what the process looks like that ends with that guy being a stable leader of Iran.

[Mik]

Consider the history all the younger Iranians have been fed by the regime all their lives, probably mostly true. Where I do think Pahlavi has by far the most organized, if on the down low, support behind him, I just doubt the younger Iranians will go for it.

[Renauda]

Maybe the Crown prince will promise to govern as a constitutional monarch as opposed to an autocrat like his father.

…. I’m just not convinced that the Iranian rabble primarily in rural areas is ready to cast off its religious superstitions and the accompanying fanaticism that that belief system breeds.
