For all your dooming (on gov dime), I'm so glad you're here. You really are one of us, and glow a brilliant Kiwi green. ❤️
Also lol lmao I fucking love being American and supporting Trump and watching him fucking murder and tbag all of the muzzie and commie retards I've wanted to nuke since highschool. Every time he bombs these people I can feel Thomas Jefferson smiling down upon us as we remember our roots in rocking the fucking shit out of the Barbary pirate states.
 
With prediction markets, heads they win, tails you lose:

Of course, this "policy" of not paying out on death is something they just made up:

and they even posted a message after Khamenei died implying that the death counts as a valid reason for him leaving office:

and the terms (archive) say that it'll be resolved upon death:

Some people are saying they're going to weasel out by saying it wasn't confirmed by the deadline, but the House still loses by that rule.

Trump's tweet (archive) announcing his death was made at 4:37 PM ET on 2/28/26 (9:37 PM UTC, 1:07 AM 3/1/26 IRST, 6:37 AM 3/1/26 JST):

(Archive is in JST as only Megalodon.jp can archive Truth Social)

and our thread (and Israeli media) confirmed his death two hours before Trump did:
Sensitive Young Man

Post in thread 'Iran Crisis & the 2026 War between Iran and the United States, Gulf States, and Israel'

i24 confirming Khameinei’s death
Reactions:Informative x 5 DRINK! x 1 Thunk-Provoking x 2

Less than an hour later, one of their "Source Agencies", Reuters, confirmed his death:
HC4CWH

Post in thread 'Iran Crisis & the 2026 War between Iran and the United States, Gulf States, and Israel'

Reuters and Axios are now also reporting that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been eliminated by an Israeli strike this morning on Tehran.

more: Footage of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s corpse has been shown to Prime Minister Netanyahu, according to N12.

Fox and NBC also did so around the same time, with NBC speaking directly to Trump.

The only reference to a time zone in the terms is Eastern Time; it'd have to be time of the location of the leader AND the time of Trump's tweet (not the media articles) in order for them to not have to pay out the March bet (and no matter what they should have to pay out the April one):

Of course they have weasel language that lets them do whatever they want:

While Kalshi technically only makes money through fees, they have a trading subsidiary and sell preferential access to Wall Street firms, Either their internal trading firm or one of their partners had a big loss on this bet, big enough to be worth torching the entire company's reputation and risk being sued to protect.

People are pissed, especially because he's refunding an arbitrary amount and not the cost of the bets:

In summary, never use prediction markets. They're rigged like any other casino game.

Siri, what is grid coordinates and Google Earth?

We've been mapping the earth forever. I can say, with confidence, that we had the fucking buildings dialed down to fucking 10 digit grid coordinates in Iran since 1990. Terrain maps, complete with buildings, roads, all that good stuff. It was pushed HEAVY after our fuckups with Operation Eagle Claw and the fact that the right units didn't have any maps for Grenada.

What is the point of bombing an empty building? You can check the news, the Israeli and American intel agencies have started spilling the beans, that they've been tracking every single Iranian leader for months, and when they realized they're going to be in this one place for a meeting on some date, they fast-tracked the strike. This is advanced multimodal signals intelligence, not "just Google Maps bro".
 
Nothing fills me with more joy than..,
1. Seeing gamblers get fucked by RATS.
2. Seeing Reddit get fucked by ORANGE MAN.
3. Seeing IRG get fucked by EXPLOSIONS.

In short, great day. Also, it’s so odd American leftists are defending this dude. It should be universally accepted this guy being dead is great. Leftists can now be like “yaaaayyy more freedom for women”.

Trump could legit cure cancer, and still every democrat would whine and complain about it.

That's TWO countries that China sold their hot shit fucking radar system too. The one in Iran was just completed in January and was supposedly better than the one in Venezuala.

There was footage of a fucking plane whipping by it and someone yelling on Twitter. Supposedly it was some Iranian yelling "IT STILL CAN'T SEE HIM?" Apparently the plane had been trolling it for like a half hour or some shit.

Either way, again, you had shit happen that looked like magic. Some panicked Iranian dude without his shirt with a perfect half-body sunburn yelling "THEY JUST VANISHED! THEY JUST VANISHED AND THEIR UNIFORMS FELL ON THE GROUND!" and apparently the new Tomahawks just kind of loiter around for a little while. Apparently the new drones carry, hidden inside them, 2 of the fucking 32 round 2.75" missile pods for fun and games. All of this "The US iS bEhInD iN dRoNe TeChNoLoGy!!" bullshit and Trump and Hegseth are showing all kinds of fucking drones that are obnoxious as fuck.

Again, reminding everyone that the US might as well be magic.

What's that? Hypersonic missiles? Yeah, about that.

Turns out that, oh, look, we have hypersonic tomahawks.

Oh, look, our sub snuck into your harbor and sank your shitty fucking fleet.

Oh, look, your fucking mine-layer got halfway out of port and suddenly just capsized.

At this rate I'm just waiting for like a bomb that opens a rift in space and time or some shit.

Thank you for taking time to archive that footage from Twitter, and even bother linking to it. Are you flying right now?
 
It must make soy judges seeth so fucking hard that they can't just issue one of their gay reddit injunctions to stop Trump from doing shit overseas.
 
Wait, I went to sleep when it seemed like our base in Kuwait was hella heckin' destroyed, it's all Joever, BRICS retaliated and we were weak to respond, but I wake up and no one cares? And we killed some pakis trying to storm our embassy in Shithole B? And Kalshi is being so gay it's going to make Baris and Barnes neck themselves with all the money they bet in the blackpill parade?

Somebody's. Gotta. DO. Something!

Would not be surprised if mossad had some of their people on the ground organize 'celebrations' for PR. This definitely also applies to the IRGCfags though. Fact is, with the internet stunted and the fog of war, we probably will not grasp the feelings of the citizens.

I've also yet to find any evidence that any Americans have actually died, despite what was said earlier in the thread. Maybe there's some reports that are just being covered up by all the new updates, but so far there seems to be zero casulities regarding anyone who actually matters.
 
Seems like three US soldiers have died, 5 injured so far. They're not saying where this happened but I see someone saying it was a helicopter crash in Bahrain.

And B-2 bombers just did a 24 hours run from the US bombing some mountain places a few minutes.
