Angela Davis, Judith Butler, Jairus Banaji, Ruth Wilson Gilmore and Rashid Khalidi are not complete idiots. They know that the CIA and Mossad, per mainstream reporting, are actively organizing mass terrorist sabotage operations inside Iran, including being behind the January terrorist operation. This is not some arcane hidden "tankie" conspiracy theory, it was literally reported in the New York times and elsewhere. They openly boast about it, and they say that they are still doing it.
So why come out with an article that casts the Iranian state as inherently evil and fascist and authoritarian and in need of destruction, particularly when it is being waged war on by Israel and their own US regime?
Ok, let's say Iran follows your prescriptions, and dismantles its entire coercive state apparatus. It abolishes the IRGC, the prisons, the police forces, all of it is abolished.
What do you think happens after that, you utter fucking depraved pseudo-radical frauds?
What happens after is Syria and Libya on steroids. Unless you are a liar, you know that too.
And of course Iran, like any other state least of all your own with its global genocidal Zionist empire, will never do that because it is not suicidal, and its first and foremost task is to protect the sovereignty of the nation and its people. There is nothing "purported" or "ostensible" or "pretend" about this, as you say in your vile letter: Iran is among the only active anti-imperialist forces in the world today. That's an objective fact, and your pseudo-radical word plays in The Guardian cannot obscure it. We can all see it with our own eyes.
But the sole purpose of your letter, its sole function, isn't to affect any geopolitical realities, it's much more modest and personal than that: it is to act as a certificate to launder yourselves in the Western pundit academic class as the Good Pseudo-Radicals, so you can keep getting lucrative invites to talk at Princeton and Harvard and Yale and sell your pseudo-radical status for cash, which Davis and others have been doing for decades now as they demand you vote for genocidal Zionist Democrats every election cycle. This same crowd always puts out those hectoring letters ahead of an election for this purpose; suddenly "lesser evilism" becomes a moral necessity over immediate abolition when it comes to maintaining their genocidal Zionist empire and its coercive institutions, because they greatly personally benefit from it.

U.S. Central Command spokesperson:
“Our forces are prepared to support commercial vessels wishing to transit the Strait of Hormuz.
They remain vigilant and ready to carry out any missions assigned to them. However, we do not assume responsibility if those vessels come under attack.”
It takes a true superpower to execute grand strategy with the exact liability waiver of a cheap valet stand:
“Freedom of navigation is guaranteed, but missile strikes are strictly your problem.”
Positioning capital warships in the world’s most critical oil choke point merely to offer radio check-ins and high-definition surveillance, only to invoke sovereign non-commitment the moment an anti-ship missile lights up the radar, completely guts the credibility of American deterrence.
CENTCOM flexes like the guarantor of international free trade, acts like a helpless bystander when the bullets fly, and proves day after day that America is becoming an embarrassing mockery.
“O avengers of Hussain (pbuh)!”
The cry for vengeance from mourning crowds in Iran after the funeral prayer for the pure bodies of the martyred Imam, Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei, and his martyred family members

A heavy silence fills the world as a great leader is laid to rest.
We are not here to cry in defeat.
We are here to honor a life of unbroken strength, a man who spent every breath standing against the powerful forces that dominate nations.
While others gave in and made deals, he stood like a mountain.
The promises of the West could not buy him, and their threats could not break him.
Where others saw an empire to please, he saw a system of oppression to fight.
He gave his life to the poor, the forgotten, and the wronged.
When darkness fell upon Palestine and the world turned away, he did not.
He refused to look away from the suffering of the Palestinian people, and he completely rejected normalization with Israel.
While others chose silence, compromise, or comfort, he chose to stand firm.
The world closed its eyes.
Even neighbors who spoke Gaza’s language left it to suffer alone.
But he did not move.
When Gaza was cut off in the dark, his hand stayed extended.
He did not just offer empty words; he gave the actual material and political support needed to survive and fight back.
Let those who celebrate today believe that killing a man ends an idea.
They do not understand history.
They do not understand faith.
The blood of those who die for justice never disappears.
It becomes memory. It becomes willpower.
It flows into the generations that come next, not as a loss, but as a continuation.
His death is not the end. It is a turning point that strengthens the resolve of people across Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, and far beyond.
He represented the marginalized, the migrant worker struggling in a foreign city, the poor in neglected neighborhoods, and everyone who feels left behind by global power systems.
His spirit was a continuation to other historic voices of defiance.
They see the same rebellious spirit found in Simón Bolívar or Malcolm X, who both fought against the dominant empires of their times.
He was the true embodiment of Christ’s timeless teachings, especially the duty to defend the poor and stand against injustice, unlike figures like Trump who invoke Christianity in name while acting in ways that contradict its core message of compassion, humility, and justice.
He was also a leader of restraint and service.
He lived simply, choosing ideological commitment over wealth or personal gain.
This creates a sharp contrast with modern politicians who are defined by money, deals, and displays of state power, unlike Trump, who is making money while segments of his own people struggle, and for building personal wealth through political and business networks tied to his public influence.
Ultimately, this shows a deep reality of our world today. Leaders are no longer judged just by their laws or institutions.
They are judged by the meaning they give to their followers, a meaning that lives on long after the man himself is gone.
When Palestine is finally free, and when the region is no longer shaped by foreign powers, many will remember him as the ultimate symbol of resistance.
His name will stand forever as a monument to dignity in the face of overwhelming force.
He left behind a generation that refuses to bow.
His absence is not silence, it is an echo.
The struggle continues, and his name will forever mean steadfastness in a divided world.
He is a symbol beyond one man, crossing borders, classes, and nationalities.
He finished his path exactly as he started it: with deep conviction and defiance.
He kept his promise to those who believed in his teachings, and he never traded his principles for comfort.
He was martyred in his home, in his office, not hiding in a bunker. When offered to move to safety, he reportedly told his security team that if all the Iranian people were taken to safety first, then he would consider going to the bunker himself.
He remained where he always was, close to his duties, close to his people, and true to the path he had chosen.
In that final moment, he left the world as he lived in it: not withdrawn, not in retreat, but standing firm on his ground, carrying his conviction to the very end.
His martyrdom was not an escape from fate, it’s a continuation of his principle, unchanged, unbroken, and complete.
It became a binding proof upon all people, not directed only at Iranians or any single community, but at humanity as a whole.
It calls upon everyone, Americans, Europeans, Arabs, and all nations of the world, to stand against tyranny wherever it exists and in whatever form it takes.
⚠️ The scenes from the first moment people arrived at the Minab school following US strikes that murdered little kids.
Next time you wave the American flag, remember what your flag stands for!
Zionists are utterly satanic. Shamelessly, they bomb, starve, and snipe Palestinian children daily before the world's unbelieving eyes - nearly three years now - and their criminal rabbis just shrug: "Yeah, but history had worse than us." That is the height of evil.
Patience
Regarding the havoc on social media surrounding the potential deal, I only have a few things to say at the moment for the sake of clarification. Dig through your memory and you will remember that some of the same accounts who are now pretending to be more revolutionary than the Revolutionary Guards themselves were calling for borderline normalization as a pragmatic necessity and blaming Imam Khamenei for the struggles of the Resistance Axis over the past few years. Remember that the wind swings them back and forth, and the real measure is the stance of the leader, may God protect him. Judge their honesty by their adherence to wilayat al-faqih, and judge their adherence to wilayat al-faqih by their reactions. Until things clear up, the wisest approach is to be patient and await the position of the leader - not to follow 'those who call to themselves'!
