@FORTRESSMAXXING I can't really even get mad at him anymore I just treat him like a White House spokesman. His stories are only good for measuring what sentiment the White House is looking to broadcast.
@Bocchi_is_me@Phoeniciacel To be clear, even if the Shah wasn't legitimate many clerics would argue that rebellion would be forbidden in the absence of the Imam. But this is not because of the Shah's divine right or something its because the order to rebel hasn't been given by the necessary authority.
@Bocchi_is_me@Phoeniciacel This deputyship was simply not in a political sense until Khomeini. The Shah very simply does not have in de jure legitimacy if he is not preserving the Muslim community. The (informal) prohibition of speaking against the Shah was in regards to his personal sins not his policy.
@Bocchi_is_me@Phoeniciacel Its also well known that numerous later Safavid Shahs were extremely beholden to the head clerics of their court, starting active proselytization campaigns on their request.
๐ซ CLAIM: Iran claims it fired warning shots at U.S. warships in the Gulf of Oman, forcing American vessels to โretreatโ toward the Indian Ocean. FALSE.
โ TRUTH: Iranian forces did NOT attack or fire at U.S. Navy warships. Doing so would be a gross violation of the ceasefire. U.S. forces continue to operate freely in regional waters while fully enforcing the ongoing blockade against Iran.
@midnight_b65055 I started a gacha game the day the war started and I was wondering if I'd be able to reach the endgame before the war was over. It's been through like 3 major new updates since then
