It's interesting that they're all flying the flag of the Shah.

#502America and Israel are lawless countries. Can you imagine other countries assassinating a foreign head of state and not getting immediate blowback?

#504I have no sympathy for Khamenei, but, if that is allowed we should not be surprised if Denmark prime minister is next?
Weirdly Europe and even Canada seem to be completely onboard with all this..

There is huge potential hidden in Iran; it has always had a huge influence over the region and possibly the whole world.

#506The Iranian diaspora around the world is celebrating. Here's the scene in Berlin: https://youtu.be/NSbx_0mtk80?si=MJ_Bfvx8gVd1P1mm They've waited a very long time for this moment!
The dispora means little though, the people in the country count as they live 365 days there without the convenient ability to comment from a distance and they are ones who would have to die for a turnover.

#507I work with and know a lot of Shia (non-Iranian) Muslims and listening to them talk about this assassination I'm convinced that the likelihood of attempted terror attacks against the US has increased significantly. The non-Iranian part is key. Millions of muslims around the world viewed the Iranian theocracy as the only power in the world fighting for Islam. They are devastated.
I was just saying this to someone this morning. Iran’s theocracy was the only one that has withstood the Middle East political wars in Jordan, Syria, Afghanistan, etc. To rephrase it… if The Middle East was the UK, Iran would be British. If the Middle East was the US. Iran would be California.
Did you mean England perhaps, not "British"?

Local news publishes articles of Iranians in our countries being happy, political commenters indicating it can go both ways, and not much comments from politicians.
