Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei spoke well, but his words were empty. Commenting on the US preparing for an attack, he said: “Only those who have no arguments resort to weapons.” But what have they done in Iran? The mullahs, who according to official figures killed 4,000, and according to unofficial figures 10,000 Iranian protesters, are now lecturing Trump. His full statement is as follows…
“We are facing Donald Trump’s arrogance. Iran is not affected by his planes and ships. Bringing in the army is not a show of strength; it is a show of political weakness. Only those who have no arguments resort to weapons. Their interest has always been our oil, gas, and minerals. They want to turn this sovereign nation into a gas station for their declining empire. Peace is only possible with respect.”
Peace is only possible with respect, but first, the Iranian mullahs must learn to respect their own people. The mullahs who interfere with their people’s clothing, starve them, and impoverish them must first be respectful to their own people and rid themselves of the fallacy of a sacred regime. If they could govern their own countries properly, neither Trump nor other countries would be so preoccupied with Iran, provoking the people to take to the streets.
Dear Khamenei, first you must be honest and respectful to your own people. Let me give you the bad news: the army and weapons at your disposal are not enough to win a war. Besides, the people will not, and should not, fight the USA for your rule…
Those who cannot govern their own countries and instead build a sacred regime only destroy their own nations.
