For many years, there was a popular rumor that J. Bruce Ismay, chairman of the White Star Line, disguised himself as a woman to get a seat on a lifeboat off the doomed Titanic. It was disproven after investigations into the sinking, but history needed a villain to blame for the maritime disaster.

That story popped into this writer’s mind when she saw these images, reportedly of a member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) dressing like a woman to try and escape the U.S.-Israeli strikes that have obliterated Iran’s political and military leadership.

We’re not sure which member of the IRGC that is, although reports say it’s Yasser Lafouti, a senior Basij commander in the city of Astaneh-ye Ashrafiyeh in Iran’s Gilan province, but we’re fairly certain that it’s a dude in a niqab (the full Islamic women’s garb). Look at the pants and shoes visible at the bottom of the black robe.
They’re so brave.
Did he make his MOTHER accompany him?
And his shoes are a dead giveaway.

His mother, wife, or sister. Whoever she is, he’s using her as a human shield.
Terrorists have often pretended to be women.

The Islamic garb makes it so easy we have to wonder if that’ why they make women wear such oppressive clothing.

Well this post was limited so I will refrain from the word that got is limited.
Haha if this is remotely true, how hilarious is it that even Trump, the supposed T hater who want’s to “put them all concentration camps” has got the IRGC to start cross dressing? pic.twitter.com/hBGkti0kMV

It’s incredibly hilarious.
But, then again, Islam allows Islamists to lie and deceive in order to spread Islam.

Yes, they are.
This is exactly why burkas are a national security threat and should be banned all over the West. https://t.co/OhhX4MYbt2

They’re making the case for banning this clothing.
This is a niqab, not a hijab. It has been used by men throughout history as a way to hide. Yasser Arafat wore one when King Hussein and the Jordanian army were searching for him after White September in 1970. https://t.co/N71rbxQ0Hn

Ban them.
Was für erbärmliche Feiglinge. Unschuldige können sie abschlachten, wenn aber echte Gegner kommen ziehen sie den Schwanz ein. https://t.co/y5TQfzDmGp

He almost got away with it.
For all of Iran’s bluster, it’s clear the U.S.-Israeli-led strikes have decimated Iran’s government. The IRGC is fractured and weak. Leaders have been killed, and those few who haven’t are now reduced to dressing like women to avoid justice.
Editor’s Note: For decades, former presidents have been all talk and no action. Now, Donald Trump is eliminating the threat from Iran once and for all.
