Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

[mangekyo]

What people are criticizing is how he personally handles this conflict. He is not the president of Iceland; he is the president of Iran, a nation at war.

We know that Khamenei sets limits on his political office. However, even with these limitations, he is not meeting the expectations. I get that he is a good person, but sometimes that just isn't enough.

Great politicians usually have a special presence surrounding them that can soothe and reassure people and entire nations. He doesn't show these qualities.

He’s the face of government, not the real decider. What do you expect him to do?

 

[mangekyo]

Certainly not the ones whose cowardice lead to our cities being bombed and our people being killed. Not the ones who reward threats of turning Tehran into Lebanon with ceasefires. Not the ones who cry and beg for a deal with the whites after being bombed. Not the ones who restricted our ability to build nuclear weapons and defend ourselves. Not the ones who failed to establish even a single beneficial alliance and left Iran isolated and alone.

Sure, the reformists are naive fools who fell for western brainwashing regarding international law and rights and still refuse to learn, but answer this, what positive effects have Khamenei's policies had for Iran?

You need to understand. If Pezeshkian wants to negotiate, wants ceasefire, won’t mention anything negative about the US etc. It means khamenei told both the IRGC and Pezeshkian «Don’t anger the Americans, reach a deal with them ASAP»

 

[Hack-Hook]

Not much, they are as bad as the reformists in terms of leadership. Iran desperately needs a militant, nationalist alternative leadership to replace IR.

Like generals rule in south America or in south East Asia

How soon people forget about the history

No, that's bad. You're right
We need a reformist government that thinks the US and us will be best buddies if we give up our nuclear program and missiles.

As Rafsanjani famously said, the era of missiles is over. Germany and Japan are advanced countries because they do not have armies(!!!)

Let's dissolve the IRGC and Artesh too. Then we will become really advanced. Maybe even top-tier. Definitely in top 5 economically.

In his era of presidency this was true, Germany practically didn't care about army, similarly to Japan, but with catch.. both of them were occupied, and still are, by USA on its pinnacle and with american bases in their countries...

With Trump that is definitely finished, they will spend more on military or more on racketeering for protection...

Rafsanjani's view on geopolitics now can be true for the balkanian quasi states... there are no armies, not even basic training to youth, and never more peaceful Balkan... But colonies are never encouraged to be military capable, regardless of semi colonial status in this case...

He said that in 2015, not during his presidency.

It has always been the era of military power. Always. From 5,000 years ago to this very moment.

@1:37 Among them are many notable high-level politicians. For instance, the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, as well as Mahmoud Abbas.

This is from RT, a state-owned Russian news channel. So, laugh all you want, but do explain: Why does Russia claim that Khamenei has been a student at RUDN?

When did he study there? It must have been sometime between 1960 and 1979 if true. Even if he did study in the USSR, dose that automatically make him an agent? You live in Italy. Are you an Italian Agent? Is Mahmoud Abbas a soviet agent too?

In 1960s. It is claimed, although unofficially, that Khamenei and Mahmoud Abbas were classmates in 1968.

Am I the Supreme Leader of Iran?

Khamenei hides his education, he constantly denies that he has studied abroad. He is unreasonably pro-Russia, even though he is extremely smart and he understands politics well. Just ask yourself this: How many times has Russia stabbed us in the back in the last 20 years? Why do we still maintain a strategic relationship with Russia, while they're offering us nothing in return? Russia is a pro-Zionist country, why do they have so much control over Iran?

And are you aware this page don't belong to him

This is the real one

Now o wonder why some people are so anxious to publish lies about him

I preferred it when I thought he was talking about cucumbers

 

[Kyussis]

If he was an agent of the USSR. Where are his pro USSR policies during the time that the USSR actually existed?

 

[Persian Gulf]

What big mistake? What is Iran going to do about it? Cry harder about how peaceful we are and how they have double standards?

The Europeans are absolutely right to take this step. Any rational agent in game theory would do the same.

spot on

Iran has no leverage and has proven many times to only bluster and shout loudly but in practice be incredibly, and irrationally, conservative and afraid of any confrontation (even when imposed on Iran)

 

[kastor ville]

What is those expectation and how he didn't meet them ?
And for example how a conservative like ghalibaf or jalili would have met them?

These incompetent tools are the people that have gotten us here...but obviously some people are caught in a trance about who is who in the country.

 

[ShapurII]

If he was an agent of the USSR. Where are his pro USSR policies during the time that the USSR actually existed?

It's hard to judge this one because the USSR collapsed 2 years after Khamenei was elected as the Supreme Leader. But there is no doubt that our relations with Russia hugely improved after the death of Khomeini, who called the USSR "The Little Satan".

Khomeini had a true "Neither East, Nor West" policy.

 

[Persian Gulf]

Qalibaf claims Khamenei was active in the war room personally (on at least two occasions) and Iran launched 150 missiles and 350 drones within 17 hours

he also claims Iran killed 500+ Israelis. which is obviously ludicrous and shows IRI has learned nothing from its decades of lies (just like 75% of missiles during TP2 accurately hit their target... and then they show Pezeshkian print outs of the same off target impacts that we all saw months earlier)
