A few observations from Khamenei's speech--his first after the historic protests in #Iran last night. (1) This was a classic Khamenei speech. He didn't give an inch. Doubled down. Deflected. He's been marinating for four decades in his ideology and conspiratorial thinking. And he had a front row seat... for the Islamic Revolution of 1979. Khamenei believed because the Shah made concessions that contributed to his downfall. Therefore, that is a lesson Khamenei has applied to all rounds of protests, so he will likely hold firm. This is why the Iranian people have concluded the Islamic Republic must go. It can't be reformed. (2) Khamenei delivered the speech from the Imam Khomeini Husseiniyeh in a public setting--which is attached to his office likely to show he is not hiding underground and hasn't fled. It's also why I'm skeptical of reports Khamenei has plans to flee. He will die in Iran, in my assessment, as it's not like he has extensive ties abroad. He's different in that way. Perhaps others around him would flee, but not him.show more

Today #Iran's regime's supreme leader gave public remarks where he labeled President Trump a "criminal" and blamed him for the protests--which is classic Khamenei as it's always a conspiracy and externalizes events to deflect blame--where he admitted "several thousands" were killed. Khamenei also signaled that “The Iranian nation will not let go of the domestic and international criminals behind this unrest." This shows that the regime will not stop the killings in the long-run and Western nations should be prepared for renewed Islamic Republic extraterritorial terror plotting abroad to silence its critics. But Khamenei should be careful with his words. Only a few days before President Trump took out Qassem Soleimani in 2020, Khamenei taunted him saying he couldn't do anything and also accused him of "crimes." Days later, Soleimani was dead.

Prof. Jiang Xueqin on the death of Khamenei: "So think of the death of Khamenei as a sacrifice, a self-sacrifice in order to motivate their radiance in this war." "He's 86 years old and he chose to die." "He could have gone to Moscow, but instead he chose to stay in Iran and die for his people."

KHAMENEI: ‘My life is insignificant’ In a humble public address after riots in 2009, Imam Khamenei said that the Islamic Republic belonged to the awaited Twelfth Imam, who Shi'a Muslims believe will deliver justice on Earth, and that he would sacrifice everything to defend it.

Today #Iran's regime's supreme leader released a pre-recorded message for the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, a day after he wasn't present for the anniversary of the Homafaran Allegiance, which was the first time in 37 years he had not participated in a public commemoration for it. This video is a little unusual in terms of televised Khamenei messages as traditionally he's seated when he records a video. Here Khamenei is standing awkwardly. The substance of the message is the usual stale Islamic Republic platitudes, about "disappointing the enemy," etc. He says "national power is related more to the will of nations and their steadfastness than to missiles and aircraft." A nation whose regime massacres its own people is not strong, it's profoundly weak.

Seyed Ali Khomeini, grandson of Imam Khomeini: They tried to martyr Ayatollah Khamenei in the 1980s, but he was meant to be martyred by the most wicked people on earth, and he achieved his wish. For some great fighters, it is a disgrace to be martyred even at the hands of lowly and unjust people. Ayatollah Khamenei was one of those kinds. It would have been too little for him to die in his bed or to be martyred by insignificant oppressors.

WOW. US Senator Markwayne Mullin, who serves on the Armed Services Committee, believes that Ayatollah Khamenei, the current Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, has been the Supreme Leader since 1979. He also believes that Ayatollah Khomeini (the founder of the Islamic Republic and the first Supreme Leader) came into power saying he wanted a nuclear Iran. That is false. In fact, he was very skeptical of nuclear ambitions. It wasn’t until years later that the Islamic Republic became interested in pursuing nuclear enrichment.

Even during a ceasefire, #Iran's regime's new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei is still in hiding, depending on a narrator to read out messages on state television. Other than that, a pretty standard Khamenei speech--triumphalism, conspiracy theories, maximalist demands. He even uses the same analogies as his father Ali Khamenei--comparing the Islamic Republic to a mighty tree that can't be uprooted. He cites the ongoing negotiations--and says even if military silence is needed on the battlefield becomes necessary, public participation in the streets is still important. It's a reminder of how his father, when speaking about negotiations, sometimes used a wrestler analogy--"sometimes a wrestler shows flexibility for technical reasons, but he doesn’t forget who his opponent is and what his real goal is."

If he refuses, we will seize as much of his property as we deem necessary, and if this is not possible, we will destroy the property to the same extent.

🚨 BREAKING: IRAN’S CROWN PRINCE CALLS FOR REGIME SURRENDER Exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi has issued a dramatic call for the Islamic Republic leadership to surrender power immediately and prepare for a transition government. In a speech addressed to the Iranian people and the international community, Pahlavi declared that the regime has lost all legitimacy and urged officials whose “hands are not stained with the blood of the people” to break ranks and support a national transition. He warned that any attempt to install another leader in place of Ali Khamenei would be illegitimate, arguing that the current political system itself has collapsed. Pahlavi also appealed directly to governments around the world, asking them to recognize the Iranian people’s movement and reject the authority of the Islamic Republic. His message ended with a clear signal that he believes the regime is nearing its end: “Victory is near. The people of Iran will be free.” The statement is likely to intensify debate over what a post–Islamic Republic government could look like if the current leadership loses control.

"Mr. Khamenei insisted on continuing his life normally without any exceptional measures like hiding in bunkers." — Security Official "Mr. Trump was surprised that despite all the resources they brought, why the Iranian people aren't scared. Because he (Khamenei) was a unique figure who, due to a long history of struggle, had earned this reputation." — adds

Hindu right-wing continues to amplify hate against Indian Muslims for mourning Iran's Ayatollah Khamenei's. Khamenei was not just the head of the state for Iran, but he was also considered one of the most influential leaders, philosophers for Shias. To have killed Khamenei, an 86 year-old man in his home in the holy month of Ramzan made him a 'shaheed' and sent a message reinforcing his long-held stance against the US and Israel. However, many Sunni Muslims also joined in the processions protesting his assassination. The ripple effect of his death is also visible in India. While many acknowledge the discontent and protests by some Iranians against their regime, his killing has made him a martyr which would explain why Muslims have taken to the streets. But the Hindutva brigade has continued to spread hate. Aliza Noor reports. Read here:

Brave Iranian women rip off their hijabs and roar: ‘Death to the Dictator! Death to the Islamic Regime!’ Freedom is calling—loud and unstoppable. 🇮🇷✊ The essence of oligarchical rule,” George Orwell wrote in 1984, “is the persistence of a certain world-view and a certain way of life, imposed by the dead upon the living.” For nearly four decades, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei presided over exactly that. He did not build the Islamic Republic of Iran. He inherited it from its founder, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who in 1979 led a revolution that deposed a U.S.-aligned monarchy and replaced it with an Islamist theocracy whose three ideological pillars were “Death to America,” “Death to Israel,” and the mandatory covering of women—the hijab, he said, was “the flag of the revolution.” #Iran

Ali Khamenei has always had a sick fetishism for sacrificing children in blood. Not only has Khamenei ordered the massacre of Iran’s children during this year’s protests, but he also recruited children to clear minefields during the Iran-Iraq War. The future Supreme Leader said that children were fearless and naïve, making them ideal candidates to be sacrificed for the regime’s war and political efforts.

Destiny is a sociopath. He is incapable of empathy. He does not act like a human, and he barely wears his disguise convincingly as he twitches and fidgets in his seat like some creature uncomfortable in a skinsuit that does not belong to it. It's telling that Left has allowed Destiny to represent their entire ideology by rewarding him with views, donations, and a pedestal from which he uses to spew his murderous ideology to millions of people. The fact that this demagogue, like Hasan Piker, has as much clout as he does, should tell you everything you need to know about the Left. This is what you're up against.

HOLY SH*T! This Khamenei supporter has been on TikTok backing the Islamic regime while trashing Trump and bragging that Iran is “undefeated.” He’s now predicting the fall of the “Zionist regime” by the end of March and claiming Trump is in declining health, all while suggesting Khamenei may still be alive. What’s ironic is that he records these videos from the comfort of his home in Texas. You just make this sh*t up! If he truly believes Iran was so great under its Supreme Leader, why is he living in the U.S. and in one of the reddest states in the country?
