‘Have they heard of Zoom? Might be worth a try’: Watch Israel strike Iran meeting choosing new ayatollah
The selection process to choose a new supreme leader in Iran was brought to a dead halt, literally, on Tuesday as Israel’s military conducted a strike on the meeting of the Islamic Republic’s Supreme Council.
WATCH:
BREAKING: The Israeli Air Force airstriked the building where council members of the Islamic regime were voting for Iran’s supreme leader.
Seems like all the terrorists inside were eliminated.
Holy shit.

“The Israelis just struck the meeting of the Iranian Supreme Council where officials were gathering to choose a new Supreme Leader, a senior Israeli official told Fox News,” reported Trey Yingst of Fox News.
“Israel struck while they were counting the votes for the appointment of the supreme leader.”
Fox News Digital reported: “The strike underscored the depth of Israeli intelligence penetration inside Tehran and marked one of the most dramatic escalations yet in the joint U.S.-Israeli campaign aimed at dismantling Iran’s political and military leadership from the top down.
“It came as Iran’s leadership structure appeared increasingly hollowed out.
“More than 40 of Iran’s most senior leaders – including Khamenei – have been killed since the operation began, with 49 eliminated in the opening salvo of Operation Epic Fury early Saturday, fracturing the regime’s command structure and dealing a crippling blow to its military leadership and command-and-control networks.”
Actor and political activist James Woods posted several quips in response to the strike, including: “Have they heard of Zoom? Might be worth a try.”
“‘So, Rashid, who do you think we should elect’ …” Boom! ‘Sh**.'”
And plenty of comedic memes are emerging on social media, including:
