LordAdam16:
i think the assassination of khamenei i is the biggest strategic blunder in the short history of isn'treal

iran, under khamenei i, had grown soft since the 2000s
the crucible of this is that even after all the assassinations and attacks of the 12d war and prior, khamenei i was willing to offer very steep nuclear concessions without any noteworthy benefit to avoid the 40d war

his martyrdom awoke the civilization
there is no line these evil c888s will not cross
post-khamenei i iran is a very different iran that will have very different permutations with likeminded folks and frenemies in the region

this current crop of neoliberal ingr8s in the government is not representative of the mood of the country
iran has not even started cooking
the genocidal ghouls should ask saddam

⚡Houthis say they forced Saudi warplanes out of Yemeni airspace after they tried to stop an Iranian civilian aircraft from landing in Sana'a.

They warn that future Saudi actions will be met with attacks on Saudi airports and other vital targets.

LordAdam16, are you Iranian?

I've been wanting to ask you this question since you declared yesterday that you were "somber" this funeral period.

Or you have any deeply personal relationship with the Iranians, possibly a wife or something?

Unlike other regions on earth, you seem emotionally connected with Iran and/or the entire Levant, perhaps you're Shia.

I know some foreigners contribute their quota here and it's quite enlightening.

We had an Indian back then who gave his own candid opinion of what transpired during the brief Pakistan-India war, different than the stories we read on mainstream media.

It's refreshing to have other nationals come here and give their candid take on events in their own locality.

To all Iranian supporters here and supporters of multi-polrarism and anti-imperialism, I say condolences on the death of the Supreme Leader.

He was a man; he died not bowing before a fellow man!
He lived on his own terms, above all he loved his Persia!
Those are virtues we can all learn from and imbibe!
History will be kind to him.
Adieu, Sayyid Ali Husayni Khamenei!
You will be sorely missed!

LordAdam16:
nah, i'm just a persophile

and as every persophile is aware, iran has a very dark history
so the deaths of khamenei i, his generals, and scientists feel like a gut punch
adds to a list that extends to infinity

from the decline of the achaemenids (one of the best dynasties in the region after the dynasties of the old and middle kingdoms of egypt)
to the decline of zoroastrianism (easily my fave middle eastern religion)
to the loss of historical persian lands to the ottomans and russians
to the shia heritage, the tragedy of karbala, the assassinations of the eleven imams
and the many brutal interceding wars with rivals that led to the sacking of cities, deaths of shahanshahs, princes, generals, and what not

persian history is a revolving door of tragedies
and they need to be a stabilizing force if multipolarism is to take root
nukes will provide a level of calm that's alien to persian history, and it is stupefying that they would not take that leap
