On December 7, Iranian netizens posted a video on social media, which drew a crowd of spectators: An Israeli flag was hoisted on an overpass in Tehran, the capital of Iran, with a slogan in English reading “Thank you mossad”.
In chief nuclear scientist was a mossad street into the sieve, Iran’s top and bottom are denounced Israel: “don’t tell ‘”, as usual, vowed to” blood blood “, the key moment of the national sentiment, actually is the way the party openly in the capital to hang the long ambition destroy him down a peg or two slogans, putting can endure, uncle cannot endure. This kind of “yi Yi” not catch out Ming is incriminating, do you want to keep the Spring Festival?
But the fact is that Iran’s road-leading party is not just one or two days, or even one or two, it is already spectacular.
Khomeini launched his “No West, no East, only Islam” revolution not only with the help of religious forces, but also with the help of many reformists in His country. Typical examples include the “Dudu” party, which advocates the socialist path, and the “people’s Mujahideen”, who advocates the republican path. Some of these organizations also had guns in their hands. The reason for turning to Khomeini was to use his influence in religion to unite the factions to pursue the secular reform path of constitutional monarchy.
Unexpectedly, Khomeini, who had promised that “the religious leader is not going to rule others”, turned his back on others after taking power and stepped back directly into theocratic rule. In pro-Western Iran under the Pahlavi dynasty, freedom was a matter of more and less; Freedom is a question of yes and no in khomeini’s hostile Iran.
Most of these comrades, whom Khomeini defined as foreign forces and terrorist forces, were hanged, and those who escaped were exiled. There are bitter unspeakable “people’s mujahideen” remnant fled to Iraq, under The support of Saddam, the pain, simply when the leading party. During the Iran-Iraq war, he fought directly with The Iraqi army. The “People’s Mujahideen” almost always took the lead and cooperated actively in the process of American sanctions against Iran and Israeli strikes against Iran.
Inside Iran, too, there were leading parties against Khomeini – and most were not from the lower classes, many of whom came from Iran’s ruling class. Among them are three well-known figures known as the “Three leading men”.
At the top of the list is Khomeini’s grandson hussein, the third generation of theocrats. Khomeini had only two grown up sons, the eldest of whom was assassinated, and the second, Ahmed, who was a very different kind of liberal. Having always advocated the establishment of a secular democracy, Khomeini had no choice but to hand over the throne to his disciple, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Khamenei took power and killed Ahmed. His son, Hussein, has inherited his father’s values, denounced Iran’s regime for betraying the aims of the Islamic Revolution and even called for American troops. In 2003, he went to the United States to demand American intervention in Iran’s internal affairs. “The Iranians need freedom and if it takes American intervention to get there, I think the Iranians will welcome them, and as an Iranian, I will welcome them,” he said. Not only that, he also openly praised the American invasion of Iraq and argued that America should liberate Iran as well. In 2006, he told a television interviewer, “If you were a prisoner, what would you do? I want someone to break down the prison door.”
A thorn in the side of the regime, he is now holed up preaching in Iraq.
In second place is Iran’s third theocratic generation, Little Montazeri. His grandfather, Old Montazeri, was khomeini’s second in command and a religious leader. But The elder Montazeri was also in favour of the separation of church and state, once saying that “the clergy should not directly hold power, nor should they directly interfere in politics, but should guide the people spiritually in the right direction”. Khomeini, without hesitation, deposed him and placed him under house arrest until his death. The younger Montazeri, taking his grandfather’s advice, was even more radical. He advocated the abolition of theocracy, the removal of Islam from the country’s name, the abolition of the supreme leader, and the establishment of a secular system. Protests against theocracy broke out in Iran last year, and the authorities cut off the Internet in an attempt to control the situation. The younger Montazeri lashed out: “Closing the net is cutting ourselves off from the world… The sooner this regime collapses the better.”
At present, the uncle is also under house arrest, unable to move.
The third is a prominent political figure, former Iranian Prime Minister Mir Hossein Mousavi. He was also credited with bringing Khomeini to power, serving as Iran’s prime minister and foreign minister in 1981-89. But his political views also tend to be more liberal, such as speeding privatization of the economy, guaranteeing social justice and the use of seed oil, the removal of churches from schools and the elimination of compulsory religious courses. So Khomeini was worried and just before he died he changed the constitution to a presidential system. Discontented, deposed as a subaltern, Mousavito was eventually branded as a counterrevolutionary, a lackey of the United States.
Fully sober Mousavi has since become the leading opposition party in Iran. In recent years, he has publicly advocated the removal of the supreme leader and the abolition of theocracy. He went so far as to say: “If the West comes in one day, I will contribute as much as Possible to the democracy of Iran and the happiness of the Iranian people.”
Mousavi has been under house arrest since he launched the “Green Revolution” in Iran in 2011. His nephew was even shot as a warning.
It used to be the case with all the big names in the system, so it is easy to imagine what Iran’s younger generation, especially those influenced by Western culture, is thinking. In fact, in the popular uprising that broke out in the last two years, the young people were the main force. Young Iranian women in particular, fed up with the brutal strictures of Sharia law, have become the backbone of every movement.
Why has Israel’s Mossad targeted killing programme against Iran been so successful and so rarely failed? In addition to mossad’s own operational capability, the nose is also likely to require the cooperation of Iran’s internal leading Party. It is precisely because the internal flow, Mossad will be like a duck to water, shot.
So the “Thank you mossad” sign that has appeared on the streets of Tehran is well worth taking a closer look. It is just like the familiar herding rebellion, which reflects a kind of unbearable emotion among the people. The people are susceptible to delusions; they may be confused for a while but not forever; It may endure for a while, but not forever. The motives of the leading party may vary, but the fundamental ones are within and not without.
I think if we speculate on the current mentality of the Iranian leaders, it may be that Gong Banlun, the son of Gong Zizhen, who was regarded as a traitor by the British and French allied forces as a translator, has a very suitable sentence:
You see I am a traitor, I see you are a traitor!
