Wow lost one of their last negotiators. And bombing infrastructure. That will initiate a coup, not.

Didn’t Iran claim there were no negotiations? Im not exactly happy with how the war has played out but definitely not am sad about this guy not being around any longer.
Probably not, but right or wrong, this one makes sense.
Conspiracy Theorists Go Viral With Unsubstantiated Claim About Israel-Hamas Conflict
Conspiracy theorists have gone viral with a claim the Israeli government knew in advance that Hamas was going to launch a coordinated terrorist attack on October 7. And some are even claiming, without evidence, that Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a so-called “stand-down” order for the Israeli military. But there’s nothing to show the Israeli government knew of the surprise attack, which killed over 1,300 people.
The origin of this conspiracy theory appears to be Charlie Kirk, a far-right influencer and strong supporter of former president Donald Trump. The 29-year-old Kirk, who leads a national college-focused Republican group called Turning Point USA, appeared on the PBD Podcast on Thursday and insisted he wasn’t spreading a conspiracy theory before immediately helping spread an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory.
“I’m not willing to say, to go so far to say that Netanyahu knew or there was intelligence here, but I think some questions need to be asked. Was there a stand down order? Was there a stand down order?” Kirk said, repeating the rhetorical question for emphasis.
Kirk’s wild speculation doesn’t appear to have any basis in fact but instead hinges on the fact that he’s “been to Israel many times” and “the whole country is a fortress.”
But, again, there’s no evidence Netanyahu knew of the attack in advance, though many Israelis are understandably upset over the intelligence failure that saw so many people slaughtered.

The Iranian ambassador in Beirut was dragged out from inside the embassy and thrown into the Jeep, and the officer smashed him on the head Bravo That's how you handle it
Looks to be.

So sad. Any loss of life is tragic, but when it is children it is just heartbreaking.
First update from my Iranian American friend in a week: not much change from the last one:
As far as I have learned is that people don't think this regime is going to change and are angry that the infrastructure is targeted. The belief is that Trump didn't plan it well.
When the war started, they had lots of hope for regime change and thus the folks not liking the mullahs (~80% of citizens) were just about all supportive of the US and Israel with regard to the war. Since then the overall support has fallen. He didn’t tell me the % still supporting. They’re not now hating these two countries but rather are frustrated and disappointed about how’s it’s going.
