Persians across the world are "dancing in the streets" over the West's attack on the mullahs and instigating regime change in Iran. That's what we're hearing. Is this true?
Americans and the smart readers of PJ Media know that they've been told stories in the past about "dancing in the streets," greeting the West as "liberators" and lavishing them "with flowers." Add AI to the mix, and it's hard to know if the images you see are real.
The Jerusalem Post reports that before the internet blackout that what's left of the hardline, Islamist, ayatollah's regime imposed, people were seen celebrating in the streets. It's not hard to believe when so many Persians took to the streets to protest the Islamist regime after the U.S. Operation Midnight Hammer in June 2025. Iranian security forces killed thousands of these protesters. It stands to reason, therefore, that they'd be thrilled that the ayatollah and Iranian leadership might have just been decapitated.
People in Tehran took to the streets — even amid the bombings — to celebrate the overthrow of the jackals in power.

The U.S.'s Operation Epic Fury and Israel's Roaring Lion "massive salvo" was launched during the early hours of Feb. 28 in Iran. Multiple targets were selected to decapitate the leadership of the Islamist leadership. The targets included nuclear facilities, military installations, and Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's compound in Tehran.

I've asked an X account that pinpoints locations to verify these, but the site's operators are a bit busy right now with news that the West hit a military installation where a girl's school is also located. Several girls reportedly were killed in school on a Saturday.
The information war has also begun.

Operation Epic Fury and Roaring Lion may finally get rid of the regime responsible for killing and maiming thousands of U.S. soldiers in Iraq and elsewhere, funding terror attacks around the world, holding American hostages, and arming many of the world's worst actors.
This attack couldn't happen to a worthier group of despots. Keep dancing and let the bombs fall.
