Today is a joyous day in Iran and for me as I am witness to the joyous scenes out of Iran as news of the butcher of Tehran, Khameini, spread throughout Iran. I made it a point to send it to the White House Instagram Message Feed to thank President Trump. The butcher is dead, along with members of his immediate family (including his daughter-in-law). I knew this day would come, and I agitated over it for over 15 years as a simple, ordinary face. I know that when I look back on these days, I am proud to note that I stepped up to support the Revolution and gave voice to the brave souls inside Iran.
Iran overcame Alexander, overcame the Arabs, overcame the utter chaos of the Qajar Era that led to the rise of Reza Shah, and it is clear it will do so again, notwithstanding reservations by analysts such as Niall Ferguson (who wrote a column for the Free Press) and others. I am listening to an analyst at Sky News talking about how there is no transition-although Reza Pahlavi, the Son of the Late Shah, has a plan in place. I decided to capture these two images from my assessments throughout the day, although there are retaliatory strikes by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (Pasdaran) -including hitting a hotel in Dubai.
I close out with this simple depiction of the beauty that is Iran:
