'If Iran's leadership can't even tolerate dissent in its spheres influence, then what hope do reformers inside Iran have?' Opinion | TalAbdulrazaq
. These "villains" were simply for asking for their right to a dignified life under a functioning socio-economic system. Sadly, Khamenei has nothing to say about the real villains who are shooting unarmed protesters in the back.But it is not only across Iran that peaceful protesters are facing the wrath of Tehran’s security apparatus.
Far from merely being a homegrown armed militant group, Hezbollah has extended Iran’s influence into the diminutive Levantine state, allowing Tehran to reach the Mediterranean and to have one of its most potent proxies on Israel’s borders. “Axis of Resistance” Iran, however, cannot tolerate such a risk to a strategic asset such as its proxy Hezbollah and will not risk losing control of Lebanon due to the desires of the Lebanese people.
Such a state of affairs cannot continue, and Iran is now beginning to see what happens when you keep people downtrodden and in an undignified state for too long with no hope other than the revolt of restoring their dignity.
