I would see it and see someone who is too smart to be caught up in nationalist bullshit: who understands that regardless of one’s feelings about the government of Iran, it’s currently the tip of the spear against the US-zionist empire threatening the world and committing genocide, and is therefore the enemy of my enemy. Because when the world hegemon comes knocking with bombs on girl’s schools, you wage indigenous struggle with the army you have, not the army you want. And the army they have has been shaping itself in anticipation of this for decades, and stands a very good chance at breaking the back of both American imperialism and the occupiers of Palestine: which is why the Resistance there supports them too.
