Panic in the Iranian leadership.
In recent days, protests have erupted across Iran amid the economic crisis.
…Nationwide protests in Iran have engulfed almost the entire country, spreading to 78 cities. The death toll from these protests is also rising: according to the latest reports, the number of injured has exceeded 50. Against this backdrop, Trump, speaking to reporters, again warned the Iranian authorities, declaring that if the protesters are killed, "the United States will strike very hard."
…The Times newspaper, citing an intelligence report, noted that if the unrest intensifies and security forces fail to suppress the protests, Khamenei will be flown to Moscow along with his entourage of 20 aides and family members.
Someone has already written that we sometimes notice an 80-year-old actor whose fame has long since faded, but who has been lingering on the stage for far too long, showing no signs of retirement. People have long hinted that he's getting old, that his former glory will never return, that everyone is tired of him, that it's time for him to retire. But he tells everyone that he's still young and that it's too early to write him off.
What are we to do with such a man? Four men grab him by the arms and legs and throw him off the stage?
But it's one thing when it comes to the theater and the actor, but what are Iranians to do with the mad Ayatollah, who is stubbornly leading a country of 90 million people into the abyss?
