Luoha hesitated for decades between toughness and compromise, finally being sent away by American and Israeli missiles in his indecision.
The Kurds stated that this morning, Luoha was attacked by about 30 bombs in a bunker 60 meters underground, with a total yield of 150 tons of TNT and C4. He was rescued for several hours in the ICU of an underground hospital but did not survive. This amount of explosives is also fitting for the status of a major Middle Eastern leader—more impressive than Saddam, Bin Laden, or Gaddafi. Like the joke about getting beaten and defecated on, Luoha endured all the beatings and took all the dumps, only to end up with nothing. Iran needs a leader with enough iron will to unite the deeply divided factions and classes. Khomeini succeeded, successfully navigating the Iran-Iraq War. But Khamenei is more like a patchwork craftsman, mending and sewing for decades, with the repairs turning into a complete mess. However, the idea that Trump and the night pot expect—replacing the Iranian regime and shaping a new Iran that poses no threat to the US and Israel—probably won't come true because of Luoha's death. The religious conflicts between Iran and the US and Israel cannot be resolved with a single airstrike. On the contrary, the conflicts actively intensified by the US and Israel might even brew the next 9/11. Moreover, Iran's state institutions are unlikely to completely collapse in this war; Iran always manages to unite against threats. Last year, even after the top leadership of the Revolutionary Guard was wiped out, they still managed to rain missiles on Israel. This year, the losses suffered by the US and Israel will only be more embarrassing than last year.
