It’s honestly horrific to bet wether our country will kill people or not.

In addition it is a security issue if insiders are tipping classified information for personal profit.

Or I guess foreign spies could be pocketing a quick profit based on intercepted intel.
 
The Iranian government said on Sunday that U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran had killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the nation’s supreme leader for decades and an implacable enemy of Israel and the United States.

President Trump had announced the supreme leader’s death hours earlier, and called on Iranians to take control of the government. Iranian officials initially dismissed claims of Ayatollah Khamenei’s death as bravado or psychological warfare. But on Sunday morning in Tehran, as the war entered a second day with another wave of attacks on the country, the Iranian state news agency confirmed his death.

I wonder how Iran will respond to this. That might be the defining moment of this entire engagement.
 
Khamenei was 86 years old, and I've read that if he was killed that there's a good chance he may be replaced with an even more hardline but younger successor. That wouldn't be good for anybody, and certainly not the Iranian people that Trump claims to be helping.
