Iran is the more rational and pragmatic side in this conflict. This is simply the reality of the conflict. Washington is repeatedly the aggressor, and Tehran is the levelheaded actor.
Stating this obvious reality is not “Pro-Iran”, it is “Pro-Reality”.
THE UNIPOLAR WORLD IS DEAD, THIS IS THE FUNERAL
Six months ago, when the first strikes hit Tehran, the working assumption in most Western capitals was simple: kill the man, break the state, and the Middle East snaps back into a US-Israeli-ordered column.
This week's funeral for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is the clearest evidence yet of how wrong that assumption was. It's exactly what I said would happen the day this war started.
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED:
Khamenei was killed on February 28, in the strike that opened the war. His son Mojtaba was elevated to Supreme Leader within weeks. He hasn't been seen or heard from since, no video, no audio, only written statements and is widely believed to have been badly wounded in the same strike that killed his father, mother and wife.
This week, Iran held a six-day state funeral in Tehran, turnout has reached 20 million.
WHO SHOWED UP REVEALS EVERYTHING
For a funeral this size, for a leader killed by a foreign power, attendance is a public act of alignment. China sent representatives. So did Russia, Turkey, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Armenia, Georgia, Qatar, Oman. And, notably, so did Saudi Arabia's deputy foreign minister, Waleed Al-Khuraiji, in person, in Tehran, months after a war that was supposed to isolate Iran completely.
A war western media said Saudi would join. All lies. As I said.
Western governments sent NO ONE.
Wang Jin, who directs the Center for Strategic Studies at Northwest University in China, put it plainly:
“the turnout proves attempts to isolate Iran didn't work, and reflects a Tehran that can maintain real relationships entirely outside the Western bloc.”
SAUDI IS THE REAL HEADLINE
Riyadh didn't have to send anyone. Gulf states spent the opening months of this war not condemning Washington and not backing Tehran.
A senior Saudi official showing up mid-funeral is Riyadh cashing in the 2023 China-brokered rapprochement with Iran at the exact moment it costs the most politically to do so.
It's not Riyadh's only quiet hedge this year, either. Saudi Arabia has separately been functioning as an eleventh BRICS member in practice, without ever making a formal announcement.
The goal is the end of western dominance.
THE TIMING IS A 200IQ MOVE
This funeral isn't happening in a vacuum. It's landing on the 4th of July, in the middle of a fragile ceasefire, one where Iran has paused talks for the week of mourning.
Iran has also warned the UK and France against sending their own navies anywhere near Hormuz. A government supposedly broken by decapitation strikes is dictating terms to three Western militaries simultaneously, over both a peace deal and a strait.
Let that sink it. Because it shows the world we live in now.
THE EPSTEIN CLASS FAILED
Picture this from inside a Pentagon or Israeli briefing room. The strategic logic behind killing Khamenei was decapitation: remove the man, and either the regime cracks or a more pliable successor takes over.
Instead: a wounded, invisible successor running the state by memo, twenty million mourners in the streets, a eulogy openly calling for the deaths of the two leaders who ordered the strikes, and a foreign guest list that got WIDER, not narrower, since the war began.
If the goal was proving that defying Washington and Jerusalem carries a price nobody else wants to pay, the OPPOSITE has been shown. Maybe Greenland will start a war next? Jk.
THE REAL STORY
This isn't really a story about Iran's succession. It's a live test result of whether the old world, where if you cross the US or Israel the rest of the world quietly falls in line, still exists.
It doesn’t.
Not for the states that showed up and not for the domestic audience the funeral was staged for.
Put it next to BRICS Pay's rollout this year (the quiet financial revolution against the western system) alongside the broader de-dollarization already underway, and you see the real story.
The unipolar world is dead, this is the funeral.
It is not about a war. It is about a Revolution. It is about an End of Time. So we need to choose our camp first. It is unavoidable. We are not free to prevent it or to stop it. We are free to choose our own camp.
Iran published its list of demands for stopping the war:
1. Fuck You Economy
2. Fuck You Edge XL
3. Fuck You Pro Max Goodbye
4. Fuck You Premium 100 Ferrari Edition
5. Fuck You Golden Dubai Luxury Influencer Pack
The US is hardly a side note in the history of the great, ancient, amazingly rich and fascinating Iranian civilization. An afterthought hardly worth of a mention.
But brutish, uncultured, haughty Americans can't even understand what any of this means. They think that Disney and McDonald's is culture, or that some stealth aircraft make them the masters of the universe.
We've all watched how, for many months, ignorant, dumb, classless American and Israeli representatives and spokespeople spat brazen demands and threats, in condescending tones, at Iran. No respect, no honesty, no civility, just thuggishness and a lazy, mindless idiot's vanity.
Till finally Iran has had enough, and revealed some of its true might, capability, and depth.
Now the US is getting a scathing lesson in humility it totally brought upon itself, through persistent willful blindness and excessive self-indulgence.
For years Iran came to the negotiating table in good will and good faith, only to be lied to, schemed against, and endlessly sabotaged and attacked. No one can blame them for having enough, and moving on to changing reality through sheer force.

And the West is already making the same mistake with China. Look at the Persian Gulf and tell me how you expect that to go down.

In our post colonial era (coming soon, inshAllah) humanity will show deep respect for its ancient cultures and civilizations. It will not seek to mock, humiliate and subdue them. It will never attempt something this foolish and self-harming again
No protective bail was granted to accused Shabbir brother of Zaheer in #DuaZahra case to best of our knowledge. He wasn't arrested on his way to Court. Interim bail given till 26Jul subject to submission of surety, but no surety submitted today. Still no arrest? @sindhpolicedmc8
We need better procedures and training in place both in Police & Judiciary to save our children. For 2.5 months parents suffered moving pillar to post to recover their child while Dua unaware herself was under unimaginable danger while content creators cashed in on this tragedy.
Does Sindh Police need more Court orders to do its job & recover #DuaZehra and arrest main accused Zaheer along with all his accomplices/aiders & abettors. Sindh Police wasted no time in getting Dua back to Punjab post examination now they shouldn't wait a minute to get her back.
@TaqatoUAE@ZomatoUAE@Talabat One has 2 sauces of 0.95 each and other has 10 sauces. So the second order costs 60.96 for two BBQ chicken + 9.5 for 10 sauces and 3.5 for VAT . Total still makes 73.98.
They have charged you 6 AED EXTRA I think
@Haq_Agah@RaNa_Sahab111@nuzhatF82350373 @PounderAll I would wait before commenting further ,but the aesthetics in this interview say that its just child grooming not kidnapping
Because the judges and the apologists of child grooming have a lot of interest in medical ways to find out the age despite legal documents issued by the State of Pakistan in child marriage cases.

This is the reason why in sane and justice friendly countries the captive is kept away from the captors, assessed psychologically, given time to recover from post-traumatic stress and counselled by child counsellors well versed in this trade.
