Khomeini was wrong to replace Iranian nationalism with Islamic unityAre they now? I thought they were Muslims first and foremost?
Didn't Khomeini infamously say "ملی گرایی کفر است"?
Khamenei loosened that rhetoric a bit and continues to loosen it in the last few years (we saw Bagheri give quite nationalistic speeches before the June war)
all these new Persian statues and posters are opportunistic and hypocritical after their Islamic Ummah unity project failed, but better late than never.
