Kalshi Owes Bettors $54 Million On Ayatollah Khamenei's Death, But Claims It Doesn't Have To Pay

It's cute how the International Order pigs are all squealing

Not reading the stipulations on payout terms isn't really an excuse to be upset. Making a $60k bet on something you didn't read the rules for is incredibly stupid. They didn't change the rules, the bettors became aware of the rules after they posted a highlighting of the rule during the period between the bombing and the official announcement of his death.
Kalshi should be more transparent, but it was not a bait and switch. Being a degen has negative consequences.
A potential insider in the Iranian government has been spotted.

This fresh wallet just deployed $400,000 on the Iran regime falling and Mojtaba Khamenei to not be the next Supreme Leader.
If these "predictions" are correct, the cashout will be over $1.5 million dollars.

Exclusive: US investigation points to likely US responsibility in Iran school strike, sources say
U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school that killed scores of children on Saturday but have not yet reached a final conclusion or completed their investigation, two U.S. officials told Reuters.

U.S. military investigators think American forces likely were responsible for a strike that killed dozens of children at a girls elementary school in Iran, a U.S. official said. The investigation hasn't reached a final conclusion, the official said.
Shajarah Tayyebeh Girls' School, in the town of Minab near the Strait of Hormuz, was hit Saturday on the first day of the U.S.-Israeli air campaign in what appears to be the deadliest strike of the war. Iran said more than 160 people were killed, including many children, a figure that couldn't be independently verified.
The school is located on the edge of a compound linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, an elite branch of Iran's armed forces, according to an analysis of images by The Wall Street Journal. There are indications the school building had previously been used as an IRGC headquarters, the official said.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said this week that the U.S. is investigating the strike. The U.S. official cautioned that the investigation was in its early stages. A U.S. Central Command spokesperson declined to comment on the incident.
Reuters first reported that U.S. officials believed the U.S. military was likely responsible for the incident at the school.
The U.S. hasn't publicly acknowledged that its forces struck the compound. Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Wednesday that the U.S. carried out strikes along the southern coast of Iran to degrade its naval and missile capabilities before bringing its offensive further inland.
Iran has blamed both the U.S. and Israel for the strike. While the U.S. and Israel are coordinating their actions in Iran, they are largely operating in different geographical areas. An Israeli military official said the military was looking into the school incident but wasn't aware of an Israeli strike in that area.

Investigators likely will be looking for one of three kinds of mistakes that could have caused the incidentintelligence failure, munition failure or human error, said former U.S. and Israeli military officials.

True or not that simply reinforces Trump's four objectives he's already laid out which do not include regime change. Whether they become a democracy or not is up to the Iranian people. He's just giving them the means to do so, if they choose to.

Its clear that Trump and his administration are not trying to spread democracy. Not in iran. Not in Venezuela. Not in cuba.
This isnt old neo con democracy spreading. Theyve determined thats what gets yiu stuck somewhere
Dan Scott said:
Because this is looking like the very definition of blowback. Iran is 90M people. And there is no unifying leader when this is all done. Pahlavi does not the support of majority. Trump is saying he'll have influence on the guy and doesn't care if it's democratic or theocracy. Reports of Kurds maybe getting involved and their reward will be taking claiming a chunk of present day Iran. All the while, people are living under bombardment. There's really nothing for the 90M to rally around.
This is messy and after a week, not clear what's to happen.

Is it possible to have a non-theocracy and non-monarchy take over, non-communist, but an actual democracy or republic or parliament system take over?
Won't the new government if it's not a theocracy be in an immediate civil war with the radical Muslims that were just taken out of power?

Egypt is not a monarchy. Dictatorship but not monarchy. Iranians will have the opportunity to decide their form of government by voting. Democracy? Republic? Monarchy? Monarchy with Parliamentary system? Hybrid of the last?
