奥巴马政府核心人物本·罗兹(Ben Rhodes)曾力推2015年伊朗核协议,周六因批评美国对伊朗发动军事打击遭社交媒体抨击。
在美以联合袭击的余波中,罗兹在社交媒体上发文批评特朗普政府,称特朗普和内塔尼亚胡”似乎完全不顾及各方将遭受苦难的民众”。
“特朗普的第二个任期是最糟糕的情况,”罗兹在另一条X平台(原推特)帖子中表示。
罗兹的言论迅速遭到众多保守派人士的嘲讽。他们指出,奥巴马时期的伊朗协议是局势升级的催化剂,并指责奥巴马政府当时未重视伊朗的威胁。

“没错,我们本应拥有一位划定红线却未付诸实施的总统,”美国企业研究所研究员、福克斯新闻评论员马克·泰森在X平台发文称,”奥巴马团队或许该对此次事件保持沉默。”
“哦,看看这个最初就制造了这场混乱的人又跳出来了,”共和党数字策略师亚历克·西尔斯在X平台评论道。
“你是那个向伊朗政权提供数十亿美元的团队成员之一——你资助了对民众的恐怖行为,”前代理国家情报总监理查德·格雷内尔在X平台发文称,”特朗普总统再次在收拾你们留下的烂摊子。”

“你有八年时间解决这个问题,却成了一名外国特工,想尽一切办法维护伊斯兰政权,”红州网站评论员邦奇在X平台表示,”是你将局势推向了这一步。”
“奥巴马团队在为毛拉们哭泣,”前特朗普竞选团队传播主任蒂姆·马图在X平台评论道。

“本·罗兹应对美国走到这一步负责,”中东地缘政治分析师马修·布罗德斯基在X平台发文称,”他是伊朗政权的懦弱影响力代理人。其外交政策造成的损害花了数年才得以弥补。”
周六下午有报道称,统治伊朗伊斯兰共和国超过三十年的最高领袖阿里·哈梅内伊在针对伊朗的打击中身亡。
以色列领导人证实,周六早些时候德黑兰市中心发生针对性打击后,哈梅内伊的官邸和办公室已化为废墟。
“哈梅内伊是当代中东任期最长的独裁者。他能长期掌权并非靠赌徒式的冒险,而是作为一名意识形态狂热分子,为维护其意识形态不惜采取两进一退的策略,”美国外交关系委员会伊朗项目高级主任贝纳姆·本·塔莱布卢向福克斯新闻数字版表示。

Ben Rhodes, a leading figure within the Obama administration who pushed for the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, was blasted on social media Saturday after he criticized U.S. military strikes on Iran.
In the immediate aftermath of the joint attack by the U.S. and Israel, Rhodes was posting criticism of the administration on social media saying that Trump and Netanyahu “seem to be totally unconcerned about the human beings – on all sides – who will suffer.”
“Trump’s second term has been the worst case scenario,” Rhodes said in another X post.
Rhodes was quickly ridiculed by many conservatives on social media who pointed to the Obama-era Iran deal as a catalyst for allowing the situation to escalate to this point and placing blame on the Obama administration for not taking the threat from Iran seriously.

“Yes we were much better off with a president who drew redlines and failed to enforce them,” American Enterprise Institute fellow and Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen posted on X. “Team Obama might want to sit this one out.”
“Oh look the guy who literally created this mess in the first place has chimed in,” Republican digital operative Alec Sears posted on X.
“You were part of the team who gave billions of dollars to the Iranian Regime – you helped fund this terror on human beings,” former acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell posted on X. “Once again, President Trump is cleaning up your mess.”

“You had eight years to do something on this issue,” Red State writer Bonchie posted on X. “Instead, you became a foreign operative doing everything you could to preserve an Islamist regime.”
“You put these circumstances in place.”
“The Obama crew weeps for the mullahs,” former Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh posted on X.

“Ben Rhodes bears responsibility for how America got to this point,” Middle East and geopolitical analyst Matthew Brodsky posted on X. “He is a spineless agent of influence for the regime in Iran. It’s taken years to undo the damage of his foreign policy.”
On Saturday afternoon, it was reported that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who ruled the Islamic Republic for more than three decades, was killed in the strike against Iran.
Israeli leaders confirmed Khamenei’s compound and offices were reduced to rubble early Saturday after a targeted strike in downtown Tehran.
“Khamenei was the contemporary Middle East’s longest-serving autocrat. He did not get to be that way by being a gambler. Khamenei was an ideologue, but one who ruthlessly pursued the preservation and protection of his ideology, often taking two steps forward and one step back,” Behnam Ben Taleblu, senior director of FDD’s Iran program, told Fox News Digital.
