"The current escalation isn’t just political; it’s being framed as a religious apocalypse. The assassination of Ayatollah Khamenei—who serves as a spiritual guide for millions of Shia Muslims—during the month of Ramadan is the equivalent of assassinating the Pope. It has turned a geopolitical skirmish into an existential holy war."

"Concepts of democratic self-determination, political autonomy, individual rights and adherence to moral principles are anathema to control-freak authoritarians such as Trump and Khamenei. But not to their countries’ peoples. Like a Persian emperor, what “King” Donald really wants from Iranians is capitulation, tribute and homage. He demands a similar fearful fealty from citizens at home"

#Tehran is just as real and important of a #city as #Paris or #Washington.

#Khameini is just as #human and #legitimate of a #WorldLeader as #Trump or #Macron.

#Iranians are #people just as much as #Americans or #French.

An #attack on #Iran is just as bad as an attack on the #USA or #France.
