Some quick thoughts about the killing of Ayatollah Khamenei
It did not really come as a surprise when I saw yesterday that Israel and the US have started bombing Iran. It did, however, come as a bit of a such today when I saw that Ayatollah Khamenei have been killed.
Ayatollah Khamenei will not be missed
My thoughts about the ongoing attack against Iran are a bit mixed. They aren’t, however, when it comes to the death of Ayatollah Khamenei. Just like in the case of Nicolás Maduro, Khamenei was an evil leader who destroyed his country.
Attacks against his own people, such as the recent massacre of the Iranian anti-regime protesters, are enough proof of this. The world is a better place without people like Khamenei. I am quite sure that he won’t be missed by any Iranian not affiliated with the regime.
What happens next?
My worries regarding the situation in Iran is about what will happen next. Will it result in the regime change that the Iranian people deserve? A change that hopefully will make the Middle East a more stable part of the world.
That would be the best possible outcome, as long as Israel and the US does not install a corrupt puppet-regime. The government of Hamid Karzai in Afghanistan is a good example of what I am referring to.
Another worry is the true motives of especially the Israeli regime. A regime committing genocide against the Palestinians obviously isn’t in any moral position to act as liberators and heroes.
The positive news is that the Israelis now have the eyes of the world on them. I therefore assume that they will have to be extremely careful about how they thread forward in Iran. The same goes for the US of course, but in my opinion even more so for the Israelis.
Furthermore, I know too little about what is about to come, the true reasons behind the attack and so forth. I am therefore not going to comment too much on this. All I can say is that I am hoping for the best possible outcome for the people of Iran.
Also, this whole operation suggests the extreme competence of the Mossad and the CIA. I do often not agree with them, but them being forces to be reckoned with cannot be denied. Hopefully, they will not use their skills to destroy Iran and throw it into even bigger turmoil.
