Aight, so check it: they say the US and Israel just dropped bombs on Iran, tryna take out Khamenei and the whole crew. Iranian news sayin' everybody good, but you know how that go. If Khamenei outta the picture, the big question is, who gonna run the block?

Real talk, everybody sayin' the IRGC got the juice. If they stay tight, it's gonna be a whole lotta oppression, no new for real. They gon' be cracking down harder than ever, keepin' the people under they thumb. Ain't nobody gonna be eatin' unless the IRGC say so. Straight up.

Then you got Reza Pahlavi, the Shah's son, tryna act like he the savior. Been livin' good outside the country for years, now he talkin' 'bout "humanitarian intervention." Man, please. He ain't been in the trenches. He don't know what the people need. He outta touch.

And don't even get me started on Maryam Rajavi and her NCRI. They got a ten-point plan, soundin' all nice and democratic. But they shady af. Somethin' ain't right with them folks. They ain't lookin' out for nobody but themselves.

So what's really gonna happen? Nobody knows for sure. But one thing's for certain: this ain't gonna be pretty. Iran 'bout to be in the streets, fightin' for power. And the regular folks gonna be caught in the middle. This whole situation is a damn mess, man. But you know how they say, different day, same struggle.

This gonna be real for the people on the ground. The ones who barely making it from day to day. I hope they get a chance to shine when this all shakes out. But I aint gonna hold my breath. This America, dog. Home of the opps.
