Having acknowledged Iran’s remarkable history, the Iran of today is full of traitors. Many Iranians still desire to return of rule by former Shah of Iran-like setup, and the government’s crackdown on free speech along with the presence of the morality police enforcing religious code… it remains a major source of discontent. You’ll find many Iranians across Europe who are staunchly opposed to the current regime, yet still deeply love their country.
In such an environment, it becomes easy to find traitors. But the truth is, it’s not that they lack patriotism, they simply want to see Iran liberated from Mullah’s empire and restored to the former glory of the Persian Empire. Having said that, there is no shortage of traitors in our subcontinent as Pakistan also have traitors in abundance in the border region of Iran. So they might all be western-backed traitors who just want to see change in their country.

How many weeks or months this war might continue is uncertain, but I don’t believe Iran has the capacity to launch 100–200 missiles every night for prolonged period. The Israelis are likely waiting for the moment when Iran’s missile stockpile begins to dwindle, so they can strike back hard once the immediate threat of missile attacks subsides. Iran will need to manage its resources carefully to avoid being vulnerable later on.
I would advise Khamenei to consider visiting China and Russia. Such a visit would provide a significant morale boost, and if he could secure a defence agreement with either of them, even better.
