Ali Khamenei was recently murdered, at a price tag of several tens of billions of dollars, so far. His more radical son now occupies his former position. As a result, is the world a better place?

Ask yourself what's wrong with Iran knocking out Donald Trump or Joe Biden?

Or is it only America that gets to knock out other countries' dictators?
