Iranians and Jews celebrate Khamenei’s death shoulder to shoulder in north London streets

Iranians and Jews celebrate Khamenei's death shoulder to shoulder in north London streets | The Times of Israel    After their Persian neighbors showed support following Oct. 7, Jewish Londoners return the gesture, joining jubilant crowds Saturday night cheering the prospect of regime change

"LONDON — Cars draped in the flags of Iran’s former monarchy drove through the streets of north London on Saturday night, blaring lively music and honking their horns, shortly after reports came out that the Islamic Republic’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed earlier that day in an Israeli airstrike — and even before Iranian media confirmed the death of the man who had brutally ruled the country for 36 years.

"Alongside them, pedestrians sang and cheered. They did not just bear the Iranian colors — but those of Israel and the United States, as well.

"Khamenei had presided over a brutal crackdown on anti-government protests in January in which thousands of Iranians were killed by security forces, and citizens at home and abroad welcomed the news of his death, which came amid heavy bombing of regime and military targets by the US and Israel. Both US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have urged citizens in Iran to take to the streets and finish the job of toppling the regime once the aerial campaign is over.

"In the meantime, areas home to both Jewish and Iranian communities, such as Finchley and Golders Green, saw massive celebrations that included displays of fireworks and members of the Orthodox Jewish community singing in Persian and Hebrew together with their Iranian neighbors.

“ 'We’d just finished dinner in London when we heard that Khamenei had reportedly been confirmed dead,” Meir Porat, a 55-year-old construction manager, told The Times of Israel. “Within minutes, word spread that spontaneous celebrations were happening in north London. I knew this was not a moment to watch from a distance.”

 Iranians in London gathered outside the U.S. Embassy to honor American troops who gave their lives.    A deeply respectful moment.

Everyone should agree with this change. All I see are people suffering from TDS opposing it because Trump is involved. This has been needed for decades since the moment this regime took over.
