    You may be misreading my post, I’m not celebrating his death, only questioning why leftists are seemingly mourning his death outside of the impacts it could have to Iran

    My point was seeing it as something like the death of Putin on a smaller scale: aware it will cause internal and external political ripples which could be bad for the people but not someone we should be mourning

      Go ahead and find any other president out there who has firmly spoken out against the Zionist entity like he has and shown as much support for the Palestinians, and who have actually executed military strikes against the occupier towards that end. That alone is respectable enough to make any sensible person feel bad to see him go.

        He didn’t do jack. He was a machine politician sock puppet, anything Iran did came from others, like generals, the political party, and Khamenei

      Maybe, before I just read it like you were taking everyone reflecting on the timing of this and Iran’s unusual place as a reactionary govt put in a broadly progressive position in the international struggle, especially the decolonization of Palestine, as making a knee jerk reactions here. Especially with the way you’re casually feeling out how amenable this chat is going to be to Iran regime change posting today. (Genocide’s still going, try again later.)

      I would imagine people are disturbed by this because he was a man who many see as an ally in the Palestinian struggle for decolonization even if they disagree with him on hundreds if not thousands of points which would be deemed heretical in Iran.
