Iran President Resigns

Possible actual news from Iran. President Masoud Pezeshkian has offered his resignation to Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. The Jerusalem Post describes its content thus.

The letter had called out the fact that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had effectively taken over large portions of the government, and that the president and other high-ranking officials had been cut out of vital decision-making.

Pezeshkian, the letter emphasized, was unable to run the government or fulfill his responsibilities under the circumstances, and as such, requested to resign.

If the US has been negotiating with the government, as opposed to the IRGC, then whatever has supposedly been 'accomplished' toward a treaty is total manure and we've wasted our time. 

Let the bombing begin anew, destroy the infrastructure. Leave the IRGC hardliners in command of a pile of rubble that was once a partly civilized nation.
