    • becomes martyr at the hands of people he’s said were “the devil” for decades proving his point.
    • Inspires supporters to fight against the existential threat the enemy has proven themselves to be.

    It seems a very stupid thing for US-Israel to give them all the ammunition in their internal propaganda war.

      Makes perfect sense if you dont really care about the iranians and just want to ensure continual conflict in the region so you can gain cheap resource access and can legitimize your authoritarian regime because your country is oh so threatened all the time.

      I mean, yeah, but also it depends on America’s war aims. If the plan is to just blow him up and leave ala venezula I’m not sure trump cares.

        The ayatollah has spent decades building up redundancies in his regime to prepare for this war. There’s already a replacement for his replacement.

      they’re still just a useful punching bag, there’s only so much they can do squirreled away digging oil from deserts in the middle of nowhere

      the funny part is, the West’s enemies best avenue for attack/disruption (*especially the US) is a direct consequence of the mass propaganda they go out of their way to depoly against their own citizenry
