  • The Islamic Republic is under clandestine assault by the US and Israel with the help of heavily armed Kurdish infiltrators. I do not “denounce their massacre by Khamenei’s regime” because it’s unclear who is massacring and who is being massacred, and to what scale these massacres are occurring. If innocent civilians are dying it is accidental. And these accidents are occuring because the Islamic Republic is under extreme pressure from these armed infiltrators and not because of something systematically wrong with its system of government, which allows for democratic vote under clerical supervision. The United States has a similar system with democratic vote under the supervision of AIPAC.

    The Islamic Republic is not against protesting. The Ayatollah recognized the initial protests as legitimate—they were in response to real economic crisis caused by US sanctions. If the US cared about Iranians, it could ease the sanctions. The problem is when these protests are co-opted by infiltrating groups with weapons.

    The BBC article cites the HRANA, the NGO I mentioned in my article which is funded by the National Endowment for Democracy. Yes, they are manufacturing consent.
